Makes me think of this video

The Unipörs is kind of an odd one but at least it’s invisible under a jacket

Or they upload to the resurrection ship

Svenska :)

I dabbled in shorthand (particularly Melin’s system) for a bit. Never got up a usable speed, but I’m convinced I would have been unbeatable in uni if I had.

Thunder has been great so far

So say we all.

Eyedropped some green from my wallpaper.

Well … the box is just a remenant of the search web pages.

I think it does make sense to have a separate search box for web-only searches tough. Say you’re sitting next to a coworker and you’re talking about Anna Karenina and you want to look something up, but typing “an…” in the address bar will pull up “Anastasia likes it big and hard” from your bookmarks because you forgot to disable bookmark search

Tru tho …

I’ve heard that some laptops with magnetic closures register their lid as closed when someone with a magnetic wristwatch puts their hands near the keyboard!

I was looking for a mouse recently. My priorities were:

• Comfortable (i.e. vertical; after getting used to it I’m not looking back)
• Standard format replaceable battery, since built-ins always end up depleting or swelling and being hard to replace
• Nice scroll wheel (highly subjective though)
• Easy switching between Linux and Windows systems
• Small-ish, portable

I got the Logitech Lift. I am pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.

Granted I mostly use my mouse for browsing, scrolling and navigating UIs. The rest is all keyboard. For games I prefer controllers and game pads so precision/high performance wasn’t an issue for me at all.

Yeah, COBOL schools and boot camps have started to pop up

Over about a decade: Win7 -> Mint -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Endeavour

Eyeing Nix atm, looks cute, might hop later

You mean Audacious, right?

zOMG!!

Interesting. What did you listen to in your 30’s? Do you remember it as vividly as you do the music you listened to in your teenage years? Can you sing along the same way? How will the music you listen to now compare when you’re in your 50’s?

Not saying the music is objectively better or suitable for all points in life. Just pointing to studies saying teenagers have a huge emotional response to music. IIRC there have been studies showing dementia patients kind of wake up when you start playing music they listened to in their teens.

It’s “better = more suitable here and now” vs “better = more impactful” I guess.

The best songs we’ve ever heard are the ones we listened to as teenagers. You’ll never get a dopamine rush like that again.

Brain imaging studies show that our favorite songs stimulate the brain’s pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains with some of the same neurotransmitters that cocaine chases after.

Music lights these sparks of neural activity in everybody. But in young people, the spark turns into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for good.

30+ here with the answer:

“Rocky montage” is a euphemism for the sex scenes in the film Brokeback Mountain, where one guy mounts the other in front of a rocky scenery.

“You won’t age, everything freezes” implies my body (and brain) won’t change. That is, I won’t be able to form memories. So even if I experience it all “with all my senses”, it will only be for that exact moment and then it will be gone.

Like blinking and nothing has changed. You don’t remember any of it. It’s a bargain if you ask me.
