I switched to Chrome probably a decade ago, because at the time it was significantly faster. I switched to chromium at some point and ended up back on Firefox when Google's password manager stopped working on every browser except Chrome. Firefox is noticeably faster these days and doesn't crash as often.

just press the system button plus the assigned letter and I'm in the app I want.

Oh, that would be excellent. You could even set them to be the same on desktop for equivalent applications.

I think one of the Linux phones has a physical keyboard. That'll likely be my choice if I can afford it when my current one stops being viable.

There are only 2 software keyboards I've found where I didn't have to look at the screen as I typed. 8-Pen which took forever to type anything on and Minuum which hasn't updated in years, but you can pry from my cold dead hands.

I never used a BlackBerry, but I miss the slide out keyboard my first couple smartphones had.

And he's incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.

You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It's an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.

I just installed Mint to an external SSD this weekend to try and get my grandma to try it out. I really don't want her scared into thinking she needs to go out and waste a few hundred on a new laptop.

You really need a comma in there.

Hotmail was owned by Microsoft when I signed up in the late 90s. It's no surprise it's still around. It hasn't been my primary email for a long time, but I still use it as my MS account. So really it's just my Minecraft account.

I'm ok with ignoring this rule. Most of us do anyway. While we're at it, can we also put "never split the infinitive" on the chopping block?

Hm...could be useful for those times you want to read a guide but can only find one in video form

Wake me up when it ends.

Oh, it's a game now? Back when I dabbled with it (early 2000s) it was a simulator as the name says. Flightgear is an open source simulator that, according to pilots, feels more realistic.

 

I was at a US grocery chain today and came across some...misleading price tags. I took a couple pictures intending to post them to Lemmy before going to bed, but I don't know which community would be appropriate for such a thing. The closest I could think of is A Boring Dystopia, but it doesn't seem quite right there.
