Usually it's just one program per virtual desktop, and maybe a second (briefly) for one-off terminal commands, etc.

The whole point for me is to avoid wasting time moving a mouse around or manually manipulating anything.

Have been listening to Chihei Hatakeyama's albums a lot while working and studying. Coastal Railroads in Memories is my favorite

There are lots of things I could criticize Japan for, but the country's approach to zoning and land use is just objectively the best. Japan's cities and overall built environment are obviously better than ours (in the US) to such a ridiculous degree, that I'm not sure why we don't send all of our municipal planners over there to just take notes.

Is that an argument in favor of glued-in batteries, though? A lot of users' phones aren't going to make it for six years if it's non-trivial (or impossible) to swap out the battery for a new one.

I'm extremely saddened to hear this. Terrible news

If you haven't played Riven yet, that game was a huge improvement on every aspect of Myst IMO. Still completely holds up

I'd only set one up if it were fully open-source and self-hosted. It looks like there are a couple of options out there that meet those criteria (like Mycroft), but I haven't looked into it enough yet.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

Started having the same issue during covid lockdowns. What works for me now is:

• switching often between sitting and standing for work. Getting a sit-stand desk converter like this one really helped with that.
• pretty serious amounts of near-daily exercise (esp. swimming laps and strength training). This pays off in all kinds of ways beyond fixing back pain
• making sure to take enough breaks, even if that just means getting out for a 10-15 minute walk a couple of extra times per day.

I keep a .dotfiles folder in my home dir, use syncthing to back up those files on a couple of other computers, and then (on a new install) just make the actual config files symlinks to those files.

The project you're thinking of is probably PostmarketOS, though it doesn't look like anyone's started work on an iPad 2 or mini yet.

They're on Lemmy now, so that might be a good place to follow up (or if you're curious to start hacking away at anything yourself)

I never really 'got' Twitter-style microblogging, and still don't really get Mastodon for the same reason. But I could some use for it if I represented some kind of group or organization that needed to publish regular updates.

Kentucky is the North South.

Can't wait until the day I never have to think about this dunce again.

Having both that and Waydroid on a phone would be pretty great. You might want to check out Darling for running Mac apps on Linux in the meantime, since its goals are similar to Wine's (but it's still early in development in comparison)

This is my neighborhood, so I apologize for not knowing about (or attending) this awful-looking meeting. Needless to say these obnoxious attendees are a loud minority that don't represent the community.

edit: just signed up to help out with ParkToPark103 going forward.

Don't think so. I'm pretty happy with my social life and haven't touched any of that stuff in 10+ years.

Always, because you get to assign keyboard shortcuts to each one (and then use each one for a dedicated purpose). Much faster workflow than alt-tabbing your way through an arbitary list of programs.

It's pretty decent for me with ten virtual desktops (and each one mapped in a sequence from Alt+1 through Alt+0). Text editor always in the first desktop, browser in the second, music in the third, etc. What's nice is that you can (almost) replicate the same workflow if someone forces you to use macOS or Windows at work
