    Feeling lost

    Hey all

    I want to write down some of my feelings as of recently. This post may be a bit messy and badly formatted, I apologize. Let me first introduce myself: I am a 20yo man in Canada. I recently this year got my first "career" (programming) job with a very nice team. I am very introverted and have always been. I also have a second job on one day of the weekends because I truly love it and it makes me get out of my home, it's a very fun place to work at and the customers and colleagues are awesome people. I was in school during the pandemic (I was 16 at the time of the lockdowns) and during that time I just spent all day on YouTube or Reddit or whatever. Did nothing productive. Because of this I've never had a girlfriend or good memories of my last high school years.

    Fast forward 4 (5) years and I seem to have kept this attitude of laziness. I feel like I wasted so much of my teenage years and that I've missed out on so much stuff. That combined with my programming job keeping me in front of a screen all day makes me so fucking sad. Especially because most of the time I work remotely. Feels like shit when you're done with your day and the only thing that you want to do is to scroll instagram or Lemmy or YouTube.

    I know part of the reason that I feel this way is because it's November and the winter is coming and fuck the winter. The night starts at 4PM. During the summer at least after my day was done, I would go out on a walk for 1h with my camera and take pictures od stuff I found interesting. Now I can't do that because the sun sets before I'm even done with my day.

    It just feels like I don't have a purpose/objective in life. I don't have any non-material objectives. And also I don't want any material objectives because this means this will push me into a grind mindset that will keep me inside even more.

    I have very little good friends, and I can't say I'm really close to them yet. I am trying to separate from my high school friend group who turned ultra méga Maga trumpists recently. Last week I went to a rave with very nice people and mutual friends that I felt a connection with, but it feels like those people will be rave-friends that I don't see outside of these specific events. I think I am that "secondary" friend, I am not anyone's best friend nor do I have a best friend. The worst part of seeing people irl at events for me is the crash after I go back home. It feels even worse to be alone after having an good time with people. I also feel like I have trouble finding people like me.

    Maybe I lack some social clues or intuition to get closer to people. I don't get invited when something is in planning a part from my family. Maybe if I get closer to the new-ish people that I was with at the rave they will start to consider me more, but I have no clue how. They are great people but there is not much that we can relate with, they are more in art fields and I am more tech oriented. But also I don't want to be friends with people who only are obsessed with tech because those people are also like me and don't go outside. And I also don't want to seem like that one obsessive person that doesn't let you go. I dont have many people that I talk with so sometimes for me it feels like I may be trying to reach to them too much and I may be bothering them.

    My week programming job, I like it, and I like the people I work with. But I just can't feel like I enjoy doing it. I really can't see myself sustaining 45 more years of this every single day. It's rare that after I close the lid of my work computer that I feel happy about my day. It happens but it's rare. I dont feel motivated to do stuff that I like. I don't even really enjoy programming anymore. Before I used to always be coding something or playing with my server but now I don't want to after spending my day doing exactly that but for making someone else rich. I am starting to think that working in my passion field might have been a very bad idea because I have lost one of my biggest interest points.

    I don't know what to do. Maybe I could consult to get formal mental help, but I would rather try things on my own first. I don't think I am in a "true" depression because I actually do stuff and want to do stuff. I don't have dark thoughts or anything. It's more that I am not happy with the state of my life currently. I am not sad, but also I am not happy either.

    Sorry again if my text is a bit badly worded, English isn't my main language and it's late Thank you for reading this

    Le PQ veut forcer la divulgation des documents de la commission Grenier

    > Après avoir fait adopter une motion — puis donné son accord à une autre — pour forcer la divulgation de la documentation de la commission d’enquête Grenier, le PQ estime ne pas avoir d’autre option que d’emprunter la voie législative. L’élu Bérubé déposera mercredi un projet de loi pour obliger le DGEQ à rendre disponibles rapidement les informations dont il dispose à ce sujet. > >[...] > >Le texte législatif porté par M. Bérubé — promis depuis l’an dernier — prévoit la divulgation des documents seulement aux parlementaires, qui « s’assureraient de respecter la confidentialité » et se « donneraient les plus hauts critères pour regarder ce qui s’y trouve ». Ce sont eux qui décideraient ensuite ce qui mérite d’être diffusé publiquement et ce qui mérite de rester confidentiel.

    Kinetic scrolling in chromium based applications

    Hi all

    I've been a touchpad user for a long time with Linux, I love the gestures and I think the 3-finger GNOME ones are even better than the ones on my MacOS work computer (which have a weird delay when switching workspaces, but thats besides the point). Thats to say, I use Firefox and GTK4 apps when I can because they implement kinetic scrolling in a very smooth and satisfying way.

    Now comes the problems, applications using Chromium/Electron all have a very janky kinetic scroll implementation. They are all way too fast, and thats when the kinetic scroll is enabled manually in the settings. Does anyone know of a way to reduce that speed? Or even better, if someone has links to issues that I can track that aim to improve the kinetic scrolling implementation, and its default setting status (when its going to be enabled as default), I would appreciate it a lot!

    BTW, if some of you are interested, I made this small website some time ago to track the status touchpads on Linux: https://arewescrollingyet.com/. If someone has issues for chromium I will gladly add it to the site

    We should have a better definition for the word hole

    Like... In my opinion, a hole is when it does not go through, and when it does, it becomes a tunnel. A straw is a tunnel. A hole in a piece of paper is a tunnel. A bowl is a hole.

    Troubleshooting a desktop that does not go into sleep mode/suspend

    Hello all, for a few weeks/months now, my computer has stopped going into suspend mode. Here is what happens when putting it to sleep (using GNOME's power menu) or using systemctl suspend:

    1. Display turns off, peripherals turn off (keyboard lights off etc), fans spin up before sleep as usual
    2. Fans go back to idle speed, computer stays on
    3. Have to press the keyboard, wake the display up and go in the power menu again to suspend it (from the lock screen), and it works every time like this.

    I have no idea what could be preventing suspend and what I could find online did not really help a lot. I don't think it is a USB device because I tried unplugging most of them except my mouse or my keyboard and it still did not work, and the second time on the lock screen it always suspends like intended

    Fitzgibbon ouvre la voie à la modulation des tarifs d’Hydro-Québec dès 2026

    Vous en pensez quoi de ce projet de loi? Personnellement ça fait juste me donner l'illusion que Fitzgibbon est encore plus un magouilleur qui a des chums à rendre heureux... C'est pas le pire projet de loi du monde, mais il donne plus de libertés au privé ce qui me semble être une pente très glissante.

    I suddenly have a massive cursor with some GNOME apps. Does anybody else have this?

    UPDATE IN COMMENTS!!

    >Hey there, I don't know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39.
