Huh. I never really thought about what you wrote about airbnb, but it hit me hard now. My partner actually works for an Airbnb and they have an enormous amount of property and apartments in rural areas which could’ve housed families. And to think there are many more of these businesses doing the same thing.

I rarely use airbnbs, I prefer hotels, so I haven’t done a lot of contribution there but still, this has convinced me to never use one. Unless, the stay is in their house, or in a small house in their garden etc, which I actually have been in some years ago.

I hope I live long enough to experience this scenario.

This is cool. We’re missing this on Linux currently. 3dconnexion haven’t updated their Linux drivers for over ten years. Hopefully someone with the knowhow can make drivers for this one at some point.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll add this to my reading list. I’m currently reading through “the rust book” right now, seems this will be the ideal followup. Also got through a book on data-oriented design recently, then I need to finish reading the book on Bevy, and then I think I’ll be ready to switch to Rust and the Bevy engine. A lot of reading this year, but I can tell I’ll be happy with rust and ECS before long.

Correct, Tumbleweed is the one I started using.

I switched from Fedora to openSUSE recently and it has been painless. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to get away from US companies and US jurisdiction. Edit: note that it uses RPM package manager though, I don’t know yet if that is problematic or not. If someone knows then please elaborate on that.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn this with openSUSE as well last week. It already saved my buttocks once when I messed up something with the greetd config file. Recovering from the latest working snapshot was easy. OpenSUSE is a very nice distro. Bought some merch to support them a bit.

Ah nice. I had made the assumption that this was American based on the name and wrapping. Guess I will give this a try the next time I’m out for some chocolate 🙂.

I just haven’t bothered reading up on what atomic systems are yet. I get the gist of it, just not enought to really understand how it affects my current workflow if I were to switch.

Alright, I think I understood some of those words. Happy to see Sway being worked on. I did a clean install with openSUSEway last week and slowly but surely I’m starting to get it into the state I want from it. Hopefully this will be my final desktop environment.

Yeah, this is frustrating. There already has been a good tool for Windows for a while now called Colour Simulations that I use at work, but I am really wanting for a Linux compatible tool for my home use too.

That’s nice. Will check out this one.

Aight, here’s how the Deckard will be like. The Deckard is the result of 15 years of research into neural sensing. It will enable the Deckard to track your eyeballs by reading your brain signals, so it does not need optical sensors that looks at your eyes to know where you are looking, it knows because your brain knows… That’s not all, thanks to the brain’s natural ability to track your body limbs without vision, proprioception, the Deckard will be able to do full body tracking without the use of external sensors. It will track the position of your limbs based on how the brain sees the position of your limbs. Yes, that means that it will be able to track the movement of your head, and also the movement of your whole body so there are no need for any form of video capture or lighthouses to track your movement. The Deckard will perfectly replicate your movement by how your brain knows it is also moving through your room. Think that’s amazing? There’s more. It will know what your are looking at, -, or interpreting to be looking at in the game. Looking at a gun on a table in the game? The Deckard will know that you think you are looking at a gun on a table in the game in the same way that you know your are. The game can then deduce that you may be considering to pick up the gun and use it, and therefore change the circumstances of the game in response to that scenario. On last thing, - the Deckard 2 will come with neural writing tech, which will mean the end of monitors as the Deckard 2 will instead project images directly into your vision, enabling vision sharpness and color vibrancy passed the capabilities of our natural eyeballs. It will be like having a 4th color cone, or tetrachromatic vison, enabling us to see hundreds of millions of new color variations. The heads traps are even capable of fitting the head shape of sheeps.

We’ve all had our fun now with watching companies and investors throwing billions on these LLMs but after all that we have something which does not solve billion dollar problems… They’ve already scrubbed all the data out there and let’s be frank here, the LLMs still suck. It feels like chatting with these LLMs is like overcoming an obstacle, I end up doing web searches myself most of the time anyway. These LLMs can’t think or reason, let’s stop trying to fake it and start using these models for something useful. Medical is the obvious one. Surveillance and military will probably be where the shift will be to primarily. There will be interesting things with pattern recognition for sound and images, but that’s about it.

I switched to Colemak-dh about 2 year ago when I bought a ZSA Moonlander after getting a terrible case of rsi in my left wrist. When I type on other keyboards (which I try to avoid whenever possible) I still use qwerty. Curious thing, I write at about 70 wpm with 99% accuracy with colemak-dh on my Moonlander but I can’t pass 10 wps when using colemak-dh on other keyboards, and I have no hope in hell writing with qwerty on the Moonlander at all. The motor memory is completely decoupled between the split keyboard and the non-split keyboard. Which I guess is good, since then when using someone else’s keyboard I won’t have issues using their keyboard.

This is pretty interesting. I’ve effectively done something similar with my Moonlander where a hold/toggle key on the left side switches the left layout to that of the right side. I do it because I no longer need to take my hand off of the mouse to press a key on the ride side anymore, which often would occur when I was using Blender or other productivity tools. However I would much prefer dedicated keys for the keys instead like this. It looks quite handy.

Definitely not a keyboard for me but it is pretty cool. I’m sure a lot of work went into making it, so kudos whoever your are. You did a fine job.
