Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.

The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.

KDE mostly calls it Meta, GNOME calls it “Super”.

You can have a non-infinite loop without a break statement, you just need a return statement in it. Also for(;;) is much faster to write than while(true).

according to them; but it’s still remarkable that the US federal government uses that name because https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/chapter-48 keeps referring to it as “Taiwan” and § 3301 even talks about “the governing authorities on Taiwan recognized by the United States as the Republic of China prior to January 1, 1979”

*looks at username* oh, I remember that username from a few previous threads…

I don’t think there’s much difference. Any standard USB gamepad should work equally fine. I find the Xbox layout more comfortable than the PlayStation one, but this may be different for different people.

everything is fucking videos now

did you know that the more inappropriate the place you put the word “fucking” in is, the more seriously people will take your comments? :D

Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it’s completely unclear what it does or doesn’t mean.

Somehow I suspect that improving this isn’t what’s going to happen…

no, “Missing Link” is a regular series on that news site: https://www.heise.de/thema/Missing-Link

not-so-common setups like two monitors

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles

Pretty sure “flora” and “flower” are related words, yeah.

I don’t think I understand the question.

The Internet isn’t supposed to have a “center”, at all. If it ever does, something has gone wrong.

Federation, like what we’re doing here, can make it so that everyone’s personal “center” can be whatever platform they choose to use most of the time. Someone trying to communicate may be using an entirely different one, it will still get federated to whatever you prefer.

thanks, that looks promising, will look into it

I don’t really need a way to scroll with vim keys; when I’m not actively typing something, the arrow and pgup/pgdown keys (and especially the space bar) are easier to reach than hjkl.

What I would really like is to have modal editing in text fields in the browser, e.g. writing Lemmy comments like I would in vim. Is there an extension for that too? :(

depends on what you want to do with your computer? If you want to deeply get into the internals of your computer, including writing your own software, then you’ll probably have to touch the terminal at some point. If all you want to do is web browsing or photo editing or something, then you might never need it.

Israel didn’t control the West Bank or Gaza Strip until 1967, less than a year before MLK’s death.

I’m opposed to what Israel has been doing with those two territories. I’m not opposed to Israel’s existence, I don’t consider it any less legitimate than any other country; many countries were founded on violence or other horrible things that I don’t condone.

Maybe unintentional things aren’t counted.

What part didn’t work? I use that all the time in IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code.
