Similar mental capacity probs.

Been using Linux for over a decade and I will never go back lol.

I can remember in school in my marketing or management class I had to take, we covered how companies like Boeing calculate statistically the potential lives loss compared to cost of safety features and cutting corners. Like there is an actually job that figures if it would be cheaper for safety features x or if it would be more cost efficient if they have like 0.75 planes explode a year.

It’s just weird now seeing it actually being revealed in real time to the general public.

But also death to Boeing and death to profiteering scumbags.

My favorite thing about this was from a reddit post where all the shitlibs called them terrorists without a single shread of irony.

That’s just praxis. Keep it up comrade.

I’m as tankie as they come.

Heck, that’s probably good to know. Regular serif is cool too lol.

Lol, this post reminded me I never set up my fonts in VSCodium. Fixed!

For programming, I use JetBrains Mono. I saw it on a post on /r/programmerhumor once and sort of fell in love with it. Using it with a Tokyo Night theme in VSCodium(officially) and it’s really nice. Here’s a quick screenshot with some JS and HTML to get an idea:

For Sans, I really like both Roboto and SegoeUI but any of the top fonts on FontSource are nice. I’m using Poppins for a website now but I don’t like how it looks with heavier weights. It’s pretty thick. The CSS framework I am using has Inter as it’s first font and then falls back to the usual suspects. So Inter is starting to grow on me just for readability. Might switch back to it from Poppins to makes my life easier. I also like Montserrat because I’m basic. Lato, not so much. Also Arial and Helvetica are nice fallbacks.

For Serif, I’m not super picky but like you said, anything “newsy-looking” is probably good. I for some reason like Roboto Slab. I donno what the difference is between Serif and Slab though, if any.

I’m not having this issue. I’m using one of the Firefox extensions but don’t get to choose an instance. I just went with the second most popular extensions because I liked the UI better.

DDG being down was the push for me to finally try SearXNG. Used it all day while working on code and it’s been pleasant. The search results are actually meaningful and it’s fast.

Right? They can say it runs locally all they want and not mention that once it’s connected to the internet, telemetry kicks in.

I’d be willing to test it but I’m too busy not using Windows ever again.

Extremely close actually. It’s Astro.

Not yet but I’ve looked into it.

I guess a hint is that is probably barely a JS framework and it’s for static sites.

A meme about all the various JS frameworks there are and the one I’m currently using isn’t even in it. JFC, what am I doing?

And new forms of government such as socialism are generally more succeptible to corruption as people find the new loopholes; as a government gets more corrupt, those who corrupted it seek to consolidate their power.

This is capitalism tho.

For what it’s worth, QMK/VIA/Vial all work on Linux. A few years ago the docs were not complete and I remember I had to run

echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.bashrc && source $HOME/.bashrc

but on my last install I followed the docs and I guess they are complete currently(or rather I am no longer on a janky system). So basically probably almost anything QMK based is gonna work on Linux. I have 2 Cantor Remixes, A Sweep36, a Ferris Sweep, a Planck, and an XD75 all running Vial which is a similar QMK fork as VIA with a GUI. And they all run fine on Mint with zero issues. I can plug an play on any other system too since the boards used firmware instead or relying on an installed software.

If you want a cheaper option, The Anne Pro 2 has a Linux build of their software but soldered switches so you are stuck with stock. But the board isn’t great, ngl.

For quiet switches, you won’t get a silent clicky switch but if you want the tactile bump and don’t mind it not being as “snappy”, look into something like Gazzew Boba U4. The stems have rubber feet that cushion the noise. You can check YT videos for sound comparisons. They won’t be as good as real world examples but you can get an idea. For chocs, They just released a brand new line of silent v1 switches. The 2 linear variants are already out but the silent Sunset version, which is the low profile equivalent of the Boba, is gonna be out soon. I daily the original Sunsets and they are easily my favorite switch.

I grew one so people would stop thinking I’m 12.

I live in the Panhandle and it’s a hilarious satire on existence. People go to church and talk about community and family, but cheat on their spouses and screech about hyper individualism all the time. They threaten to shoot you with their “come and take it” guns for sneezing too close to their property but then if we get a bunch of snow dumped on us and traffic goes to shit, without fail, the good ol boys in their lifted trucks are all over the high way pulling stuck cars out of the snow. It’s bizarre.

I didn’t see anything about converting from desktop directly but it’s fine. I have all 3 of the other options working now. I did convert a .pdf to a .epub and send it but it messed up the formatting a ton, like put lines of bullets points below their respective bullets and such. I’d like to figure that out since I sometimes find books only as pdfs and they don’t work very well on my 6" screen lol.
