Fuck me, when you understand you understand. Way to make me feel old.

Good news to me. I can watch reddit and twitter self destruct from the comfort of the Fediverse. Welcome home, fellow refugees.

If I can remember, the angels took the forms of extremely beautiful men. The Sodomites attempted anal intercourse with them. Hence the term “sodomy”.

Its not lost on me that AI portrays Biblically accurate angels more machine than organic. And that’s a camera in the center if I’ve ever seen one. Interesting.

Builds. Build builds builds. Whether its slowly tailoring your class to a build, or roguelike unlocking items and abilities to build around each run. It’s why I like things such as Diablo, PoE, Last Epoch, Binding of Isaac, Tales of Maj’Eyal, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

Its also why I was severely disappointed with ArcheAge. And unhappy when I returned to GW2 to find my world bossing combat medic off-meta bleed Warrior pretty much useless. Used to tank boss AoEs to revive downed people using healing shouts and increased revival speed. They nerfed and removed the revival speed node from Warrior and the build lost half it’s function.

Be honest about it if you get an interview, but be clear that it took some time to get where you needed to be. Let them know that you’ve worked hard to get the help you needed and are more than ready to get back into the world.

When Chewy hired me for remote work, they also asked what I had done during my unemployment. They seemed pleased to hear I had been building skills in web design and UI/UX as well as becoming a professional typist at 90 wpm average. So have your accomplishments ready, no matter how small they may seem.

I’ve pre-ordered games due to hype a few times and every time I do I get shafted and dev runs with my money. Now I stick to promising EAs. If I pay 20-30 bucks for EA, get some fun out of it and then dev runs at least I got some fun out of it.

One that’s two years old at that. Its not the best solution, but it’s the only one we have if you absolutely need glide typing.

It hitches up sometimes and I find myself getting the wrong words more than other glide typing solutions from closed source keyboards, but it’s not horrible.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear on this in my original post.

What about a Dell AIO?

Lol I know the pain. It takes a few days to get to acceptable typing speed, but you can get pretty fast (some report 56 wpm which is pretty good for a virtual keyboard).

Just make sure you know what you want between Thumbkey or Messagease layouts. I started with Messagease layout and it was all good until I spotted some really nice Thumbkey programmer layouts and switched.

Heliboard has multiple dictionary support. Florisboard is still in development for this feature, from what I know. Unexpected Keyboard has none by design, being made for termux and programming.

The unconventional list also has none by design, maybe because there’s less of a chance to fat thumb the keys.

Heliboard would be your winner there, for now.

I’ve been down this rabbit hole and here’s the haul from Wonderland:

Conventional:

• Heliboard - Has glide typing, but the available library is unstable and old. The most polished.

• Florisboard - Currently under heavy development, but what’s there is more than usable and very well done.

• Unexpected Keyboard - I actually love this one, but as a Fold user I need some auto correct. Uses swipe motions on each key for symbols and punctuation.

Unconventional:

• Thumbkey - A 3x3 grid using taps and swipes to type. I flip flop between this and Heliboard atm. Has circular motions to input caps or numbers. MASSIVE amount of layouts, including language, programmer, writer and more. Easy layout switch key on the fly.

• Flickboard - Same setup as Thumbkey. This would be my go to ever since they added a landscape layout that smart switches on inner Fold screen, but there’s no separate key height for it, so you have to deal with non-uniform on one screen which isn’t easy to type on. Also has circular motion for caps. No numeric, but there’s the option of having a small number column.

• 8vim - The only one of it’s kind since 8pen died. I’m learning this one and it’s great, but wonky on inner Fold screen. Its hard to explain, but you use circular motions around on X wheel to input whole words at a time letter by letter. Start center, drag out into a quadrant, rotate to get your letter, go back to center, without lifting go to your next quadrant for the next letter. When you’re done and back on center, let go to insert space, or you can move out into a quadrant then lift to end without a space. Takes a lot of getting used to.

Agreed. I NEETed for five years. Never left my apartment, sponged off my gf, terrified of going out. Even that long is hard to get out of.

Thankfully I kept my weight mostly in check and I still had some humble charisma when I needed to interact with people. This let me seek help which culminated in severe anxiety and sleep apnea diagnoses.

Let me tell you, though. Even 5 years is enough to make any sort of potential employer wrinkle their nose at your application. I had to dig hard through my grave topsoil.

Honestly, if you grew up with the internet from it’s birth, you know there’s a LOT weirder out there. It all just bounces off now that I have all this mental scar tissue built up. Death and guro tame af these days.

I’ve always had a pretty shitty stomach (haha), but it really drove home just a couple weeks back. I’m not bad at getting fiber, but I don’t go out of my way to chase it. I recently started Kratom at nighttimes for anxiety and RLS, and have been enjoying it. Kratom solidifies bowel matter and causes constipation.

I took it for a few months (8 grams a day; 4 in the morning 4 in the evening) and I didn’t really bother to make sure I had fiber, water, and maybe a small bit of laxative with my dosage. As of a couple weeks ago, I no longer have an appendix.

So. Fiber good. Much fiber. I eat shredded wheat every morning now and try to take in some leafy greens with my suppers/lunches as well as trying to limit my overall dairy intake. There’s also diverticulitis on my dad’s side and diabetes on my mom’s. I’m 35. It’s time to be extremely careful with my diet and now I only take sugar in the mornings with my coffee/tea and it’s half of what I used to put in it.

Stay healthy out there, folks.

I was just trying to get this working as well. I connected to my TV using KDE and audio came through, but I didn’t find any sort of screen mirroring. I’m not sure how up to date the info is, but I did read that KDE Connect comes with Miracast built in, so if you have access to that it should be an option.

Unfortunately, my TV is an old 2018 Samsung 4k, so I have no access to Miracast to check, so I didn’t dive far enough into it to know for sure. My solution is probably just going to be setting up a Raspberry Pi media build to the TV.

I use Fennec for my phone, but I’m rediscovering Floorp on desktop right now and I’m seriously impressed. Smoothest Fox Fork I’ve used in a long time.

I never stopped. Big corp always lulls us into a false sense of security before springing the trap. I streamed for a little while but always kept me sails dusted.

Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I’ve since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.

Either that or some Linux wizard cast the “every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one” curse on me.
