Tox looks interesting! I never tried it as Matrix covers all my current needs (with gomuks as client, not this web… thing of course) But I have software installed on all my devices just in case 😉

>I also despise trackpads!
Damn, I was sure that you wrote that you hated Thinkpads, hence my reply, and now I see that wasn't what you've meant at all.
I'm like reading with my arse this whole week, I seem to get a lot of things done, but the attention span is awful 😂

@amoonrabbit Yeah, I kept thinking about it and realized that on my own several hours later:
social.librem.one/@m0xee/10975
I never paid attention to the fact that Thinkpads had two sets of buttons because I like trackpoint so much more and I always had trackpad disabled on my Thinkpads, one of them even has a big sticker that covers it wholly 🤣

@Rezard Было же видео какое-то, где два чувака играют музыку на солевом озере. У них там как-то так всё и было подключено. Ну только на платформе стояло конечно же, хоть и на низкой.

@dave Payment terminal would definitely make more sense than GPS in this case. But I guess you can't get the thrill from stealing the sign this way, which is part of fun 😂

@adamw
I also noticed that particular one! It came with Unicode 10 some time in 2017 and tweet was posted in 2016, so it was right on spot 😂

Cheap ones like this are usually good enough. I got one for $17 about a month ago — looks identical to the old one that I had been using for over 7 years. It's all stainless steel and tempered glass. In the old one it was the nut that got broken, it was copper and being softer metal it got deformed with time so I had to squeeze it several times for it to hold tighter and eventually it fell apart. In the new one even the nut is made of steel, I think it'll last forever.

@molly0xfff What if it's not a measure against impersonation, but a nice new feature for the few who use hexadecimals in their names? 😜

@mo Ух ты, без регистрации и SMS, почти как в совецком сою… Хотя нет, там-то без регистрации и propiska вообще ничего не было, а вот SMS-сообщения действительно не с чего было отправлять 😂
@neural_meduza

@neural_meduza Витиеватая формулировка, мне нравится! 😄

@neural_meduza И полетели их «освобождать»? 😱

@mo @neural_meduza Он нам нахой не нужон этот ваш секс! В советском союзе вон секса не было и нормальные же люди выросли, не то, что эти сейчас — жертвы ЕГЭ, ГМО, USB, PHP и чего там ещё… Тьфу, сам чёрт ногу сломит!
🤣

@iska@mk.starnix.network No, that's chronic procrastination. People often link that to ADHD, but I don't think any scientific evidence exist. Might be a symptom, might be not 🤷

@kotik Наша служба и опасна и трудна, и из-за куста почти вам не видна 🤣

@kirt Yes, it is NN-generated, but Russia itself is so grotesque that sometimes it's spot on 🤪

@gemlog Sure, to each their own, but I think Thinkpads are an acquired taste actually. I would've never got one for myself had they not been corporate standard for laptops at one of the companies I worked for. It definitely wasn't love at first sight, but they eventually grew on me and I learned to appreciate a lot of what seemed like a weird design decision first. The exterior is also off-putting, although I knew a girl who thought the rubber-coated bastards of T4x era were sexy 🤭

@gemlog Nah, I'm not with you on this one 😅
Trackpoint is hands-down best pointing device you can get in a laptop. Once you get used to it you get much more productive with it than with trackpad. It's so good that all my Thinkpads had touchpad disabled.
Before I got my first Thinkpad I've been using IBM mouse which had it in scrolling wheel's place so it was a bit easier for me. At least I wasn't completely weirded out by this thing 😂

@gemlog I just realized that buttons this laptop has are not for using with touchpad, but for trackpoint — Thinkpads had two sets of buttons for that same purpose 😅
This means that touchpad has this design with no visible keys, its whole surface is one big button — also a terrible decision. I'm using my old "Unibody" MacBookPro now — the model that pioneered this design and I hate it! Looks like most users like it though. I still have reasons to remain grumpy, but not because of buttons on top 😄

@gemlog Apple I think. Having jack on the bottom side is okay — it's easier to put phone in your pocket this way I think. And it's kinda okay if your headphones have straight plug, but if it's angled like the one my Sennheiser Momentum headphones have, it feels weird and cable gets bent in unnatural way. I didn't like that change at all.
