Yeah, I blame his sister. I don't know what happened behind closed doors (if anything) but I'm also disappointed neither gates nor balmer seemed to pick up the pieces either, or even Bezos given his presence in SLU
I remember being so frustrated with a Mac because of the animations. It would take like a full half second to maximize etc. I tried disabling them but then it would just do a cross fade or something and still be unresponsive when I tried to type/click on the focused window.
That plus cmd+space doing nbsp and Ruby (required by our IaC framework at the time) treating such differently than other whitespace was the end of my experiment, back to Linux lol
(I have no problems with Mac users and get the love for them, but I definitely prefer Ubuntu)
..you have noticable latency when you type? I'm genuinely sorry, that would infuriate me.
Personally I don't notice any typing latency in wezterm. I have p10k as a zsh theme and not really any 'plugins' beyond git for the terminal and use neovim+ also pretty much just got and CoC for an editor. I don't notice any latency when typing and, while not instant, still sub 200ms startup latency.
Oh man, fonts are fun. Ironically I moved off of alacrity and on to wezterm for font rendering reasons (p10k+patched nerd fonts), but that was pre pandemic
Also it's well tested on all three. One look at wez' repo vs the rest in terms of GitHub actions, issues, and documentation was all the convincing I needed back in like 2019. Haven't turned back since. Heck it even supports tabbing out of the box!
It's the first terminal to truly replace urxvt for me in terms of support and speed. Before I was running termite and kept urxvt as a backup for some odd situations where termite got buggy.
Not all my friends switched, I had one good friend who decided not to because she already had a bunch of apps and didn't just want to talk to me on yet another app.
It's much easier when it's a group. I got some of my family to get on it too and they pretty much exclusively use it to talk to me.
In the mid 2010s it wasn't that hard of a call because the various Google apps kept getting deprecated (we were all in hangouts before), iPhone users wanted something rcs like and they couldn't for android users with mms, in general the app scene was taking off with Snapchat wechat etc. so people were easier to convince to dl it.
My pitch was 'you know how randomly Facebook or YouTube will serve you some adds about something you were talking about about, even though you didn't search with them? You're much less likely to have that happen with signal'
Then if they pressed I'd share a link from the net neutrality fight days about DNS hijacking etc and having them remember when all their failed urls would go to an ISP run search domain
I definitely used some FUD but it worked.
Actually I think some of the FUD was 'what if the carrier gets hacked?'.... Which, I mean for all carriers and all systems is just a matter of time. As t-> inf the probability of a breach converges to 1.
Also if any of your friends do drugs, of any sort, that was a great motivator for them to switch lol. Weed has only been legal for recreational since 2013 in any state.
Oh, and pretty much every techie friend I had went 'yo that's awesome' and changed over, even if they don't have a tech job.
Finally, back in the day/for many years, signal could default to normal MMS messaging, so the pitch was 'if they don't have signal, you can just text like normal'
Unironically yes. I'm in a bunch of different group chats with little overlap in signal. There was a huge push amongst my friend group to get people on it back in like 2015. I have some family not on it but we just talk in person.
Not everyone switched, but a surprising amount did, and only more have switched over time.
Feel ya. Disposal is a pain, and if you mess up, it's a trip to home Depot to get some chemicals to clean your asphalt. That was fun when my apartment had me parking in a shared garage...
Oil is simple and easy enough that I just get it changed with my inspections. There are things that, even if you're competent enough to monitor and do yourself, is still better getting a second pair of eyes on. That said I wouldn't do jiffy lube or other stop and go oil shops... Too many noobs there where the chance of them effing it up is higher than myself. I once had a tire buldge when I was younger and broke AF, they replaced the wrong tire and I had to drive back to convince them they changed the wrong one (big old bubble in the sidewall), took a bit to convince them they changed the wrong one since they refused to admit fault. Thank God I took a picture before that was clear enough to place the bulb right on the text in the exact same spot.
I'm having similar concerns around my diy for some electrical and gas work. Yeah technically I can do it myself to code, but I'd rather inspect someone else's work and not deal with the liability of fucking it up myself. Just because I can do it doesn't mean I can do it to the level of a quality professional, and I'm now wealthy enough to actually get the pros and not just the journeymen. There's something about paying for quality work that just feels good. So long as you can respect the labor, it feels great and not so weird to hire others.
That said, I've had a few coding projects I've subcontracted in my home due to lack of time to those on roughly equal grounds as myself. It feels a bit weird, especially for tasks with unknown bounds but worth it for the time and schedule savings. I'd rather not wait another 6 months and spend my personal time when I have a laid off friend who just wants some bar cash.
>This has been my approach at this point. I've had to accept that I will likely never get medication, or even a proper diagnosis.
I don't see how the rest of your comment follows from this quote. Don't give up bud, its always worth trying. You can simply not take meds if you don't want to.
And they vend it out to you one refill at a time too (at least with my provider), and due to the stimulant shortage you have to go to hospitals to get it filled and even then they don't have it available for some time
I ran out of meds once but thank God my lady forced me to go get them asap because she couldn't handle me off the meds anymore
Could also be hormonal, sickness, stress, lack of quality sleep/nutrition, etc. for men the drop off in testosterone definitely can manifest in feelings of lethargy.
