Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It takes a lot of energy to move from the keyboard to the mouse and back constantly, gross.

    I wish the ThinkPad nub was more popular.

    If you want to get better with the nub use it to play StarCraft brood war.

    Actually crazy idea: spacebar trackpad.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Moving vertically would be a pain

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

    There's no reason the space bar needs can't be taller

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    Please no I cannot even imagine the horrors that would arise from this

    Remember the BlackBerry Key2? Entire keyboard was a trackpad. Genius.

    But it takes nearly no energy to stay on the mouse.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    Yes, that's why I've adapted my workflow to be as mouse-centric as possible.

    Almost feels like I'm using my PC as a smartphone with a keyboard.

    I'm sure that works great for doing nothing productive

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

    Never seen a movie huh?

    You think those are made in the Terminal?

    Gotta save energy to hit the gym later

    And even less if you can script it.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

    That’s another nice thing about the CLI: Once you figure out how to do something making a script is usually as easy as getting the commands out of your history.

    I’ve yet to see any GUI automation tool that’s as easy to use.

    I like trackpads because I don't have to move my whole arm to use them.

    Bruh, high sensitivity mouse.

    I can twitch and my cousin flies off the screen

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

    I meant to get to it, but sure, let your cousin fly.
