My modified #PopOS is having a risky window system flaw where when a new window opens, sometimes the one underneath it retains focus... I've almost copy-pasted some stuff into a chat when it was supposed to go somewhere else.
My setup is really glitchy. I want to switch to something that works better, but I have so much config that might get lost... I think I'll hold out until #COSMICDE . At least until it works on #Nvidia + #Wayland !

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MS WINDOWS HAS THE SEND-TO-BACK WINDOW MANAGEMENT FEATURE
All this time, I could just press Alt+Esc and my window would be sent to the back! If only I knew this back when I was a Windows user.
What if Windows also has always-on-top?

Thanks Microsoft for just rebooting my computer (#VM in this case), closing my windows and ending my session, without my consent *_*
Not Windows 11, actually. I was feeling pretty good about Windows 10, looking back, but now I'm remembering some things less than fondly.

Wow. (For the website name and the fact about the ROM size of #SuperMarioBros) https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/189519267315/the-size-of-the-super-mario-bros-rom-is-around-31

It also means I get the grab hand instead of the four arrows when I drag a window. Takes me back.

After watching and getting into the #AnimatorVsAnimation YouTube series, I've had to change my mouse cursor theme from the typical (canonical for Linux at this point) #Adwaita theme to the white #DMZ #DMZTheme . Time to slap some stick-figure enemies around with this extension of my hand.

An #airport just required me to give them an email in order to use their wifi, and I entered "user@0.0.0.0". We'll see how that goes for them....

The TOS had said they could use the email for marketing :/

(Yes, I thought about doing something along the lines of "root@localhost", but I was nice to them instead :) )

(I don't know if I would jump to the conclusion about it being a "scam"; though, pharma makes lots of money and where lots of money is made, have some health skepticism)
