What's an ad if not a commercial announcement?

Before: ~110-120wpm, but shit accuracy
Right after switching: <30wpm
A month after switching: ~60wpm
Now (5 years layer): ~90-100wpm
I also couldn't type for crap on a regular keyboard after acclimating to my compact and ergo boards, but that came back. Now I'm able to switch between all of my boards (and my laptop's built-in) more or less interchangeably. I don't really care about the lost speed, it's still plenty fast enough for what I do - I'm a programmer, I spend more time thinking about code than writing it.
FYI I switch between a regular 60%, my laptop, an Iris (so thumb clusters) and a Planck.
Actually, it's a great suggestion. However that small box I'm left with is that post-donation elite group, the ones that have sentimental value. I haven't bought physical books in years, I borrow at the library. I don't read fiction nearly as much as I used to, sadly... Teenage me, who read anywhere from 1-3 novels a week, would be ashamed.
Edit: Now that I think of it, I do have some books that are loaners and others I've loaned and never saw again. My copy of The Hobbit was my godfather's when he was in university.
Yeah pretty much my thinking as well. Almost all my physical books are in a box in a wardrobe cause I have nowhere else to put them. It's a sad state to end in for a piece of literature, isn't it?
I think his point was that most conversations happen where people are, and people are still more on Twitter than Mastodon by multiple orders of magnitude even after the "exodus".
Flat feet tend to make knees hurt much earlier, believe me

That was not the point, and I don't know how you got there.
Fun fact, the "Académie française" (French language authority) dropped a bunch of accents with their "nouvelle grammaire". A notable example are words with a circumflex accent on the O, like "hôpital" or "hôpital". The accent was present to replace the "os" in the old spellings (hospital/hostel, the S was carried over from Latin), didn't change the pronunciation in any way.
RIP Alexi Laiho, absolute legend 🤘
IIRC the diaeresis is actually optional and "naive" is actually okay too. Technically even "cooperative" initially took one on the second O.
WSL2 stuff has some rougher edges smoothed out. Otherwise... No, not really. Some DirectX stuff, maybe?
The main differences between distros boil down to:
Most end users don't mess around too much with their init system and software configuration. With the rise of mainstream distros and application developers opting to ship desktop applications as snaps/flatpak/appimages, the last two points have less importance than ever.
IMHO, considering this, most of the discussions surrounding distros is relatively silly. After using Linux for almost 20 years at this point, I think I can safely say I could be productive on most popular distributions, with minor adjustments to my workflow.
For a new user? Just pick one of the main distros, that supports the software you need, and roll with it for a while. It won't make much of a difference. Distro hopping doesn't make one learn much outside using a different package manager.
