Entirely self interested opinion, but I think older fuel-efficient cars ought to qualify for hov too - driving an efficient car that already exists is definitely better for the environment than junking it for a new giant electric SUV/truck.

X mouse button control

It can’t detect some of the fancier buttons and gestures but it can often pickup buttons 4 and 5 for remapping, and it does chording and long press options to give you multiple functions without any AI bullshit.

I’m not sure why this would be fake, but the word seems too straight and the paired letters too perfectly uniform to be handwriting, it looks like a font.

This is gonna bother me now.

If anybody knows of something similar I’m happy to be pointed as well. Searching “keyboard accessible keyboard” is understandably nonsense.

Yes! I am an assistive technology specialist - helping people with all kinds of disabilities access computers - and I have a laundry list of little challenges I haven’t found the right tool for.

An example to start is needing something kind of like the windows on screen keyboard but that selects letters/keys using arrows and space/enter (a lot like typing using a remote).

The osk has some special feature to not steal focus from where you’re typing, but this could instead let you do all your typing and then when you select done run a sendkeys to type in the text (could have clipboard option but this doesn’t work everywhere). This also makes correcting errors easier. Bonus if it works with text prediction same as the osk :)

Almost 40, comfortably established with no kids, so life is overall pretty easy.

I got into audiobooks on Libby and have gotten through about 400 in the last 4 years. I listen while I’m driving and sometimes while doing chores, but mostly I listen while hiking or paddling - on a weekend backpacking trip I can get through 3-5 books.

My books are almost all what I would call “human adjacent non-fiction” - science and information related to people and the planet, but I don’t find deep science like quantum physics relatable enough to be interesting.

I love to read and learn and wish more people wanted to talk about books, but book people and outdoor people don’t overlap that much.

This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.

I get these often and I wouldn’t define them as third person but more “non-person”. To me first person dreams are where I’m watching it through my eyes and Thurs person would be watching myself as I do things (like third person video games). Not even being in the dream, just a mind movie as you called it, seems like another level removed.

I wonder how much the amount of movies and video games around these days has changed this - whether dreams in the past would have only been first person because that’s the only thing people had experienced.

You got me there, my brain did just jump to high O2

I do the same and even though I’m still in the store I question if it’s worth doubling back for that one forgotten item…

I wish that our store layouts were consistent enough for this to work, I have to change my list order if I’m going to a different store, and remember idiosyncrasies like in one the condiments are at the entrance before produce…maddening!

But does he copy?

Putting the shopping list in store-order before I go into the store; saves so much time and fuss in the store and makes me feel like a hyper-efficient grocery god.

Giant insects and way more fires! It’s happened a few times in the history of our planet.

Way back around 2000 there was a creator who did this and called them unfortunate animals, she liked to make like a 3 eyes teddy bear with a crocodile tail and 9 arms. I think she also combined stuffed animal chimeras and taxidermy.

It depends whether I can somehow go back to the body of a 20 year old but keep my current 40 year old brain. I’m not going to pretend the majority of my improvements in patience, empathy, humility, work ethic and dgaf-ness are me consciously maturing instead of improvements in brain chemistry.

If you are in Canada or the US I can’t recommend the Libby app highly enough - books, audiobooks and magazines borrowed to your devices from your local Library. Looking at the last 5 years of borrowing it has saved me (pirating probably) thousands of dollars of audiobooks, and having an endless supply of audiobooks with zero cost really encourages reading.

Unfortunately only chrome has full support for Dragon professional, and Edge can be made to work. The dragon extension for Firefox stopped working and Microsoft, who now own dragon, doesn’t have any incentive to fix it.

The unofficial supper via the ClickbyVoice extension doesn’t have a Firefox version.

I would love to hear alternatives that support link numbering and voice commands :)
