I want a trackpads integrated into the keys. Under the J key a trackpad with low sensitifity, and under the K key a trackpad with high sensitivity.

Have you ever used a J-key trackpoint? I found an absolutley ancient Compaq laptop from the W3.1 era and I found the J-key mouse shockingly pleasant! Well, as pleasant as trackpoint mice get anyway.

We should bring that back, I think I like it more than the thinkpad style

Brilliant! Use modifier keys with your left hand for either key entry or mouse click?

This is good to know. I refuse to click on a geeks4geeks result even if it looks like it has exactly the answer I want.

Where did you get the plant ?

Bunnings, funnily enough! I got two different varieties and planted them next to each other. Aside from watering them, I basically neglect them

Lifespans got worse before they got better. Better to reference 10,000BC than 1023AD, and that’s not so clear.

There was an comment yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35209775) that linked to https://andymatuschak.org/prompts/

I know a guy that, when he starts a new conversation with Chat GPT, the very first thing he does is paste in relevant conversation history to give her some form of basic memory.

Human has the word man in it, so let’s use huperson

But "person" has the word "son" in it, and that's gendered.

Better go with huperchild.

Huperchild has the words “per child” in it, which is exclusionary to people who choose not to worsen overpopulation by not procreating.

How about huperperson?

Uh wait, that’s recursi- political correctness overflow error.

"Terran" is an established term.

That's exclusionary of beings not native to Terra.

That's not going to be an issue. There are zero such beings known so far, no hard evidence they even exist, and we're not going to find or create ones any time soon - the same people who engage in language policing also currently dislike space exploration for various ideological reasons.

Maybe the reason there are zero openly non-terran (or, preferrably, differently planeted) folks is attutides like yours. Think about it.

Well the colonizers didn't know that Native Americans existed before landing in America, and look what happened. We must prevent any and all such occurrences in our interplanetary future by only using a non-specieist vocabulary.

It’s so obvious that if colonizers had used inclusive language, everybody would have lived in peace. Though maybe labelling them ‘colonizers’ and not ‘welcome guests’ was only the first of a set of micro aggressions that precipitated the situation.

This is gaslighting the lived experience of those who have reported abduction by aliens.

> for various ideological reasons

They are opposed to colonies wherever they might be, even lunar colonies.

You have no argument there. The same people who care about butchering language and destroying society are the same people who don't care about facts or what's real.

I just love this thread.

What do you identify as, though?

I think you missed the joke, friend.

We are already there. I see videos on Instagram and question whether they are real. Would not have happened 2 years ago .

There’s always some way in which someone’s situation could be worse. Anyone can do that exercise.

I would love something like this that also checked if you were mouth breathing and gave you a reminder to breath through the nose.
