Gosh, I miss the Thinkpad red dot thing when I'm using an external keyboard 😮

Is there any other convenient way to scroll without moving my hands from typing position? 🔴

@Cmastication ooh yes, I saw those too! Hoping for a mechanical edition (though my current keyboard isn't mechanical; it's a random hand-me-down) ⌨️

Actually I think I did see a mechanical keyboard like this too, made by some other brand; let me try and find that again 🔍

@Cmastication nice! I didn't get how the TrackPoint worked at first, but now I find it so convenient so I hope these catch on

@Cmastication ooh, now I wish I had a foot pedal too 🦶

Speaking of weird keys, my friend @ravi and I realised that a selfie stick is actually a Bluetooth keyboard! Albeit a tiny one with a single button 🤳

His phone's onscreen keyboard was "malfunctioning" when the selfie stick was connected; we later realised that it wasn't malfunctioning but just respecting the "Hide onscreen keyboard when an external keyboard is plugged in" setting 😅

@sushubh that's weird: if I was in such a position I'd have jumped at the chance to maybe actually win (by consolidating anti-BJP votes) 😮

@jacqueline btw why's the ["Long press"] in brackets like that when the others aren't? (I don't know Lua but my Python interpreter makes me think it's a list of one) 👀

@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@jacqueline ohh makes sense! Because control.hooks.Touchwheel.Down.Repeat, but control.hooks.Touchwheel.Down["Long press"]

Also @fosstodon we need a lua emoji!

doing a sick business trick where i save $4/unit by looking at my supplier's product, googling the name of the actual manufacturer, and then using those guys as my supplier instead

devs, is there a way to "continue execution with this default value" like what Common Lisp has when an error occurs? I got into the debugger and saw some ways of getting around but couldn't find any way of continuing execution... ⚙️

Who has to recognize Palestine as a state for you personally to recognize Palestine as a state?

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@evan already recognised, and they even had passports and international relations and everything so my question is why did they ever stop being recognised?

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@evan well, I guess I got it wrong.

Just looked it up and realised the British mandate passports were the closest they had (unless you count the PA passports they issue nowadays, but that's with conditions)

BREAKING: USA vetoes a widely supported UN resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine. 140 of 193 UN member states already support Palestinian statehood.

12 nations voted yes, UK & Switzerland abstained, USA killed the resolution with a veto.

USA's veto lacks justice.

@QasimRashid didn't expect Switzerland to be so lacking in morals too

I am a bit disappointed that the tagline of the Indian Prime Minister's electoral campaign this year is M0di ka P@rivar. After Chaiwala (2014) and Chowkidar (2019), I was hoping the PM's election campaign persona would be another word starting with Ch.

@rohini did you have any particular word in mind? 👀

@samuel I had the same reaction when Russia was denied from Eurovision post invading Ukraine, but if denying countries from Eurovision is such a popular punishment I guess it means something? 🤔

Happy Friday!

I just in the past few minutes stumbled upon https://fediwall.social , a configurable social media wall that lets you configure and display selected public content in a rotating panel based on server, accounts, or hashtags.

You can do this on the fly, or customize and save a link, or install and run your own, by the look of it.

The skill of recognizing and diagnosing broken code only becomes •more• important in the face of LLM code generators.

@cybeardjm ahh, unfortunately English doesn't allow us to transform that to Problem between Computer and Ceyboard 😛
