  • Tbf, I very rarely type with perfect form like that. Maybe for short bursts when I’m doing an assignment but in like every other case I keep my right hand on the mouse and do any hot keys with just my left hand. Granted thats mainly a gaming thing but also in like GIMP or blender


  • I agree, but there is things we can move towards, but some are more… radical solutions.

    I think the Swiss do something where after a certain point in the education pipeline (Age 16?) they decide either university or vocational school.

    I think the ratio is 20-80.

    If the decision is made for you (via being evaluated by the institutions in charge of the students) it definitely would be filled with bribes and scandals where the rich try to subvert it.

    But if that wasn’t a problem I think it would definitely help university degrees “matter” again and it would be more feasible to make free for those who pursue it.

    Again this requires a whole restructuring-- and would not see results for atleast a generation-- and red-lining would potentially have very visible effects on this depending on how its done.

    I mean I sold 4 years of my life to the military to not have to take loans out, so I get the gut reaction

    The main cause of the student loan issue is the commodification of education. Everyone wanted to go to college and at first it was optional but then as more people did it it became a requirement, then they realized they can charge more and more for education that is worse and worse because a good chunk of people dont actually want to learn / be there. They’re just there for the paper that’ll let them get jobs and not be unemployed, or even just to say that they went.

    I look around and people are playing damn Pokémon Showdown in class, there was that one scandal of an influencer girl who was the daughter of someone important that bought her admission to Stanford(?) and would stream literally about how she didn’t care about education she just wanted the college experience.

    Hot take: Not everyone should be going to college, High School should just prepare people better. Even if we forgive all loans right now it doesn’t fix the issue. Instead of your problem it will just be your kids’ problem



  • I actually wanted a PS2 port because it works with interrupts rather than polling but they aren’t really included anymore.

    I feel like they don’t make boards for people like me who want small boards with a super niche port.

    When a MoDT Mini-ITX board comes out with a PS2 port I will buy that instantly


  • Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn’t work for my new pc build.

    I’ve contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

    I’ve posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

    I’ve posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

    I’ve gone so into the weeds I’m trying to remap pins because I’m assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it’s been weeks and I can’t solve it.

    Again, I’d never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.
