I used to have lots of traits that today are attributed to zoomers: being able to have conversations with five different people with completely different contexts at the same time…
But I grew to realise that it's not a valuable skill at all — it just ruins your ability to concentrate and when you need it you just can't. Being able to concentrate for most type of tasks is a much more valuable skill.
I think that a lot of this has nothing to do with mice or text editors.

@kirby @Hyperhidrosis
Don't get me wrong, I've also hated this approach: when you start working on a drawing, start with sketching out, then start working out details. Why the hell should I do it when I see that an eye would be here and I want to work on it right now.
But with time I grew to understand that it just doesn't work and that working on things in proper order helps you avoid lots of problems in the future and in the end helps keep the job as a whole done faster.

If you find yourself jumping to and fro the same blocks of code, check out bookmarks in Vim — probably the thing you need 🤷
But in general, you shouldn't be working on many things at the same time — keep focused, finish one function, make sure it works, then get back to the part that was supposed to call it, make your changes atomic — it will also make your commit log cleaner and easier to navigate.

@kirby @Hyperhidrosis
Erm… Yes, pressing Ctrl+D a few times isn't harder than using mouse to scroll — considering that if you're typing you are probably not holding it in your hand.
And if you find yourself browsing through hundreds of lines of code often, attempting to find something, you're also most likely doing it wrong — don't use your eyes, use search — your computer is quite good at it, probably better than you are 😆

@kirby @Hyperhidrosis
It might come handy if you see like 500 lines of code on your screen at the same time, but if that is the case you're probably already doing it wrong — I think it doesn't improve navigation, search does that, but it makes it easier to lose focus and drift outside of block you're working on.

@kirby @Hyperhidrosis
Did you know that you can scroll up/down by whole pages? 😏
I mean the video is probably build on the false premise that coding=typing, which it of course isn't, but I still don't see how mouse makes things better — it's useful when you want to capture part of the output of some other command without going into the trouble of using screen or other similar facilities, but for your own text…

Но это не значит, что не могут запретить упоминать об этом! И даже нейросетям 😂

I think having your own implementation of WireGuard in Zig is a required skill for being a sysadmin 😜

Denied! 😤

I've adopted a habit of going for walks only taking an old phone with me — that I use to listen to music.
And leaving my primary one — the one that I have a SIM-card in, at home.
But I'm unemployed ATM so I can afford it — might not work for most 🤷

@kirby @MercurialBeige @bot
Damn, Bloat seems to replace "at" with a link to corresponding user on the same instance… 😩
But you probably got whom I mean anyway 😁

@kirby @MercurialBeige
Make a bot that throws nuts and bolts at @bot so she has to defend herself with spanners 🤪

@rvps2001
Nothing of value was lost 🤷

@kirby
On the surface it makes sense, but in reality, you'd feel much more motivated doing things that are useful and that other might find useful, than doing something abstract — in this case you risk losing focus and eventually all interest.
Besides, I think they have most of AP shit already sorted out.

Who needs another half-assed web server? Contribute something useful to snac2 if you want something web and AP related and C.

@theorytoe
I'm using an old version, in which it's still possible to turn off support for WebP 😏
It's good.
TBH I'm considering no longer updating even the desktop version, they keep breaking things for no good reason. But I'd rather ditch the web completely than touch that disgusting… thing 🤢

@theorytoe
No, it's on my end. It's that old thing that already took me some time to figure out: Firefox has to have media.ffvpx.enabled set to true. And as it turned out, it doesn't have anything to do with VPx, their naming is just poor.

@theorytoe
Hmmm… BandCamp no longer plays tracks in Firefox Mobile for me. I have even unblocked all Google shit temporarily: ReCAPTCHA and whatnot.
Have they switched to some WebM shit? 🤔
