after trying a tiling manager

I like the idea of tiling window managers – I just find it so much less hassle to use tiling keybinds on a stacking window manager …

• Disney has regularly been laying off large swathes of their creative staff, and are now adding TV & film staff and and finance staff, but no mention of legal staff
• Disney is notorious for their legal team going after anyone who even thinks of touching their IP (also why everyone enjoyed the spectacle of DeSantis threatening Disney)

EDIT: if you have four hours, watch how they managed to disappoint a Disney fan, a Star Wars fan, and a theme park fan all in one go

at this point, is the entirety of Disney just their (in)famous legal department?

ELIZA effect

(missed making a “We are currently clean on OPSEC.” joke)

• assuming you are allowed to change things on the computer (ie. not work or library computer):
  • change keyboard firmware back to QWERTY
  • change OS English keyboard input to Colemak-DH (or Colemak-DH-Ortho)
• for Unicode characters, it is possible but fiddly through keyboard firmware, usually easier to use whichever method the OS uses – and generally through QMK directly rather than through VIAL
  • Linux, one of:
    • ComposeKey plus compose sequence – Compose, --. will give you en-dash –
    • DeadKey, accent, char (similar to Option key on Mac or setting keyboard to “US International”)
    • Ctrl-Shift-U then Unicode codepoint – Ctrl-Shift-U, 1F517, space gives you 🔗
  • in VIAL, you can set up macros to send the right sequence, but you’ll have to have one macro for Linux and a different macro for Windows
  • Typing non-English letters

“circle crop”, not “crop circle” … much disappoint …

just a quick bit of background (terminology below is “close enough”):

• Windows treats the drives as primary and the filesystem as secondary
  • so all the drives get their letters A:\, C:\, D:\, etc.
  • then you move your folders the drive, ex. C:\Windows\Fonts
• Linux treats the filesystem as primary and the drives as secondary
  • / as the base point, binaries in /bin, users in /home, fonts in /usr/share/fonts, etc.
  • then the drives get mapped to mount points in the filesystem (you can see the mounts in /etc/fstab)
    • on my system, / is on the drive /dev/nvme0n1p1, /home on the drive /dev/sda2, and so on (everyone’s setup will be a little different)
  • this way the filesystem can be spread across multiple drives but appear to the user as a cohesive whole
