@herag I use it with unit scaling. My fvwmrc has normal window commands (move resize iconify close etc.) in the root menu so you don't have to touch the controls precisely if you don't want to. On the menus you can just "roll" your thumb and the different selections get highlighted.
I also make XVKBD sticky and without a title bar like the iconbox.
Most X11 things really function very well with unit scaling. The only thing you really miss is mouse buttons 2/3 (so no quick selection buffer pasting etc.)

@scalar i trust the science, that's why i don't get the so called "vaccine" 💁
@thor sorry, had lunch ;)
yeah i also don't listen to music as frequently, usually it's an evening activity now every few weeks.
i also don't get how people can operate like this. do a job which is probably boring and feels like sisyphus living in an environment which is built with disregard for aesthetics. if the cities were like 100 years ago it would probably be something different, but the brutalism of city planning is really something.
i think for many people it's really enough to have the basic needs (food & shelter) and then some entertainment. turns out juvenal was right?
@thor 10/10 thread! i never lived in a city with more than a few 100k inhabitants, but even that was unnerving.
regarding music (i think we talked about that at some point), i sometimes "enjoy" unpleasant music because it matches how i feel. maybe it reduces the dissonance between my feelings and the outside world? i like to believe this kind of music (electric wizard - dopethrone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaMbKZPBruU, cough - ritual abuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shalI6Bd4CU) has kept me sane. there always were things like PJ Harvey (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPaztBWnatchKb7tlsusjcEj2ONrtN_kH) in the mix too which aren't as noisy.
mentioning pj harvey, i think john parish is an amazing producer. i really like his arrangements (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMyes11rCq4).
it seems that the idea of being “highly sensitive” has some acceptance in the accredited mental health community. it seems to get conflated with people who think they’re psychic or other new age nonsense, but that’s not what the therapists mean when they say it.
browsing the Norwegian Internet, it’s clear that, as with much of modern psychology, it’s largely women talking about this stuff.
i’ve seen too many ads advertising therapy where the stock image is of a crying woman. i suggest that if you want to advertise to men, you depict a guy with a gun to his head.
anyway, i seem to fit the description, and i suspect my proneness to drinking is due to wanting to numb it. it’s a bit like taking pain killers for being beat over the head with a bat.
@jrballesteros05 @dushman of course a good free OS is the better choice ;)
@jrballesteros05 windows 2000 was actually usable, but it was largely meant for professionals.

Centralised messenger Signal has just announced that they are making part of their server software closed source. They claim it is to fight spam, but by using closed source they make it impossible for outsiders to verify the truth. This is worrying.
We really, really need a fully open, decentralised alternative to Signal.
There are several alternatives being developed, please support them:
➡️ @snikket_im
➡️ @xmpp
➡️ @matrix
➡️ @delta
➡️ @briar
➡️ @Jami

Dieses „Nichts“ ist unser #Grundrecht - Zeit zum Nachdenken!
@thor @Hyolobrika @kaia i have two friends where the woman already had kids and they are quite happy as far as i can tell. just make sure you don't end up paying everything ;)
@skadi @Hyolobrika i certainly hope so :P
@Hyolobrika i one time cut my beard too short, now i'm really extra careful everytime :D

Hello friends, I thought I'd share how my first year of proper vegetable gardening went - so much better than I even expected!
It was a lot less work than I thought it would be, thanks to the no-dig method, and literally ever veggie I ate was so much prettier and tastier than any store bought one.
If you have the space and a bit of money to get started (mostly just buying compost) you can definitely do this! Its not as hard as one might think. Here to answer any questions!
Signal is making a part of their server source code proprietary software:
"To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private".
Taking into account it's centralized nature and that they don't allow third party clients, Signal seems to be just as bad as other "privacy" oriented companies.
Leave Signal and join a truly private, decentralized and libre protocol like #XMPP
state licensed lolbert and hypernatalist with a breeding kink. never watched rick & morty and i'm proud of it.
don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
