She absolutely deserves her flowers though, people who can switch from beautiful cleans to hatefully-heavy screams are crazy talented.

Their new album is pretty damn great too, glad they stuck the landing on the sophomore LP.

I don't read or speak a lick of French, but hell yeah, Susan Kare is awesome

Okay, I think I understand your point better. While I still think his perspective on demanding users is pretty reasonable, I agree (and didn't make clear enough) that Martin's reaction here comes off less-measured than it should've. He definitely isn't all victim, he's stoked some flames and not done his part to de-escalate on many occasions, that's for sure.

This whole saga really is a shame, the guy clearly is talented, and there certainly are issues with how the Rust4Linux integration has been handled. I really hope things can improve systemically here.

Out of curiosity, what were some of the projects you managed? Much respect for your open source work, shit's not easy.

his perspective of the user base is also oddly skewed. He was surprised users wanted better battery life? ... Surprised users wanted external display support?

I think this misconstrues his point: he was talking about a subset of users ("entitled users"), not calling all the users entitled.

To me, it seemed less that he was surprised users wanted certain features, more that he was burned out by the feature requests that spent time expressing personal grievances, making demands, or getting mad about the project's pace. I understand that might come off as him being overly-sensitive, but I absolutely see why a constant cascade of FRs written like demands instead of no-BS questions would wear down on someone, especially while they're simultaneously trying to deal with upstreaming.

he needs a long break away from something that's become both too personal and toxic

I totally agree here though, I just hope that this whole fiasco isn't written off as the result of some vague burn-out. There really does need to be some change in kernel maintainer authority structure and the culture. That can only really happen if someone respected (e.g. Linus) makes some moves to encourage more cooperation/openness from certain C maintainers, and helps put in place better guidelines for how Rust contributions should be handled. It's simply too disorganized right now, and that makes it too easy for individuals with power to let their egos get in the way of good progress.

Where did he show up, out of curiosity? I'm not seeing any activity from him on the Github issue tracker or his account here.

The TOTEM was my first experience with ergomechs and I've been loving it, such a compact little board but doesn't sacrifice too many keys for functionality.

I've also quite liked the increased pinky stagger and splay, but that stuff comes down to personal preference/resting hand shape. The tiny Seeed Xiao controllers are nice too, almost wish I had a spare one to tinker with but I set up my board with a dongle instead of true Bluetooth to save some battery and make it more portable, so the extra microcontroller got put to use. I think I've gotten over 2 months of regular use on a single charge with the dongle setup, so I'd say it was worth it.

This looks super promising, I can't wait for this to be in a daily-driveable state

I had the same reaction when he suddenly dropped the "ulterior motives line" and my hopes became true.

Been watching his stuff for a while, and it was great to see a pretty successful artist find a way to make their pipeline work, and also talk about it.

Haha the edit about split keyboards, you know my every damn move. But really, I think you're onto something there about finding a way to make your home row into a number row via some kind of layering. How exactly that's done depends on what keyboard you're using: if it's an external keyboard then maybe you could use a QMK board and make custom layers for that. If it's the keyboard built into your laptop, I've seen people mention KMonad working well for them, maybe that's worth looking into.

Yet another victim of binomial freeze

There's some good advice from other people, especially about continuing to pursue medication and/or therapy when possible, but in terms of putting distance between you and your parents so you can feel safe, there's a couple things I think might help.

First off is something other people have mentioned: going on a jog/walk regularly, preferably daily, to give yourself the physical distance from your parents. Making sure you regularly have 15-45mins to yourself every day will help a lot with giving yourself room to mentally and physically be away from them.

Second, finding places other than your room for spending time and relaxing will help a lot too. If you have a local library, a park, a café, anywhere that you can spend a few hours hanging out at, that will help a lot too. I mention cafés and libraries because they usually offer free internet and a calm environment, so you can hang out in a corner and do whatever personal work/fun stuff without being at home. For example, I used to stay at our library after school and do homework, talk with friends, and pass time on the internet. The other upside to these places is seeing new faces more often, plus it can be a chance to meet with friends, or find new friends if you'd like.

I'm not sure what your financial situation is like, but in any case these should be cheap, low-barrier-to-entry options for getting away regularly. I'm also in my 20s and have pretty intense anxiety, so I know first-hand that there's a way for us, it's just not as easy as it should be. You're already doing better than I was: you're asking questions and seeking help. As long as you keep searching for help and regularly giving yourself the mental/physical space to have some peace, you'll be alright.

I hope some of this was helpful for you, I hope you're able to find what you need to get the peace you deserve.

The irony of them making a racial and gendered generalization on swimming skills lmao.

It's always bothered me when people will blame a phenomenon and call it racist, when the systematic racism lies in our society and its response to the phenomenon. Climate change isn't consciously choosing to target minorities, but societies are choosing not to support the minority groups disproportionately affected by it.
