Give the browser extension uBlacklist a try if you want to always filter out specific sites. I did that to block some AI slop and content mill sites that are good at gaming search engines.

I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.

As if I don’t have a stash of previously reinvented wheels to choose from in my personal code. Buuuut, who can resist reinventing the wheel for the 25th time?

Quod Libet can do all of these things to my knowledge. It is currently my favorite linux music player.

Another commenter appears to have had the same issue, so it could just be some manufacturing issues. I’ll just consider myself lucky since I’d be pretty annoyed if I had to get to work soldering a hotswap board that I purchased specifically to avoid soldering.

Wow, I’ve never seen someone push in switches so hard it broke the hotswap sockets, that’s wild. I have definitely bent switch pins.

I actually had this happen more than once because of a coworker that uses Copilot and it would help him with code and use functions not in existance. He has since finally stopped trusting Copilot code without more testing.

A 33MHz DX 486was great. If you got stuck with a slower SX CPU, things were frequently not so hot.

I’ve had great luck using Intel NUCs as home servers and HTPC boxes. Since those are now gone, I have found that Beelink is the most cost effective replacement when I needed to revamp the setup. My biggest complaint on them is that the cooling fans on them are not super reliable and it is not easy to find compatible replacements. I had to order them direct from China and there are a few wiring incompatible variants. I ended up with one of them being the wrong type and I had to resolder the leads to match the existing broken fan.

It was definitely harder doing the split that the ortholinear part of it since I have used smaller ortho keyboards and been ok-ish from the start.

It looks great, I especially like the backlit CST. I could never acclimate to my Ergdox, so it now lives with a friend who is making good use of it. Mine was the original layered clear full hand build with MX Clears.

Fwiw, mine has worked with no issues on any of my Linux PCs.

I definitely had issues with my 3070. I ran it in Linux for 4 years before recently switching back to AMD. It was usually only minor issues like it not playing well with certain DEs, but sometimes certain driver versions would make my system unusable/unbootable until I could roll them back. I am glad some people never had it happen, but pretending like it wasn’t a thing just makes you ignorant.

I have used both AMD and Nvidia cards on Linux for a long time and with Nvidia it’s mostly fine now days, but their driver situation tends to be fine until the rare time that it isn’t. I switched back to AMD last year due to the occasional driver issue that left me dead in the water. And by occasional I mean like once every year or so, not something common. It is entirely possible that you’ll never have much of an issue, but I started to take note of my Nvidia driver versions and and especially noted when GPU drivers were updated so that I had some notion of where to try to roll back to if I ran into issues. I haven’t had any issues like that with my AMD cards for a long, long time in Linux (with Windows obvious the situation was more of the reverse of this).

It’s feels before reals, but applied to coding.

I can almost guarantee that reading this will be the best part of my work day.

I was lured to use it during those days as well because of all the cool and wildly different screenshots I had seen. I did manage to get it working and looking super cool, but it was fragile and complex. It was so easy to fully break it in my experience. I tried to use it again about 8-10 years ago and while it was easier than the 90s, it was more trouble than I was willing to put up with for a DE these days. Especially since Gnome (with extension) and KDE could trivially look nice.

This is too real for me this early in the morning

If this is true, then I will never renew any licenses for Jetbrains tools for my team ever again. They can get fucked.

I don’t love the layout of most Wormier keyboards, but if that doesn’t bother you I’d definitely just get some new switches and stabilizers. That’s the entire point of a hotswappable keyboard! As another commenter said, you may just be able to tighten and lube the existing stabs and see if that takes care of your rattling issue.
