What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You'd still need the mouse, but it's at least a little quicker ☺️

Has anyone tried this yet on Debian 12? Would be nice to upgrade from the ESR version.

Thanks! I heard about it from a social worker, so maybe you could try something like that.

It's a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don't remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a "regular" company, but only if you're ready for that and able to do it. It's government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it's a very exciting opportunity for me. I've already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.

  • I started using Lemmy
  • Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it's actually fun.
  • Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
  • Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
  • I've applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven't started yet, but I will soon. I'm so excited for that.
