Learning how to use AutoHotkey has been life-changing. There are many games I can’t play due to muscle disease, but AHK expands the amount I can play.

I do things like combine a series of inputs into one, map keyboard inputs to hardware the game doesn’t support, and even create mouse controls for games that don’t have any. I also made some GUIs to help me write scripts with fewer inputs.

AHK has the concept of hotstrings which are really handy. For example, if I want to expand an abbreviation as I type, it’s as simple as

::btw::by the way

It’s not limited to text replacement. You could easily use it to launch programs or whatever you want.

Another thing I did was change the “hold space to continuously paint” functionality on wplace to be a toggle controlled with the mouse. Which allows me to participate much longer before my arms give out.

Even if it were, which I obviously disagree with, that’s not an excuse to hold someone’s longstanding account hostage

I stopped using github when they held my account hostage. Told me I had 2 months to set up 2fa.

Realized I don’t even need github for anything and if I want to share my source code, I’ll just put it up on my site.

Laudable goal, but whatever they’re doing isn’t working based on some of the graduates I’ve known.

listen, I’ve been in technology since before i-drive existed and I’ve never heard of i-drive nor do I care about the vocabulary they used.

The first time I ever heard the term sideloading was when these mobile stores started using it to make other options sound illegitimate.

Just wanted to stick up for that guy’s analogy. It’s perfect, actually.

The point of an analogy is to compare one situation to another situation in such a way that they have a common thread, a common axis. The point isn’t for both situations to be the exact same.

What does this even mean? You gonna punch every other person you see?

You missed Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota

Depends. Are we talking about posts or comments? Comments shouldn’t even have scores in the first place. Lemmy is better when you hide comment scores and sort comments by old.

They’re delaying it by six months. They’re banking on this blowing over by then. Fuck discord.

I went back to IRC a couple of weeks ago and it’s been such a breath of fresh air to use good technology again.

Yeah, I guess. You could make the argument the answer should just be “Drive.”

You may be overestimating how literate the average person is.

The things people criticize are so fucking brainless these days. AI this, slop that.

Not a single one of you made fun of “let’s rewrite it in Rust.” You can’t even elevate to the level of mildly funny parroting.

I can’t believe what pretentious twats they sounded like in 1900

Puppy Linux is Perfect.

lol, this is how my first roommate vetted me. I guess I passed the test.

You can’t get around the bans. They move heaven and earth to fingerprint you.

Don’t worry about it. Many of us are in the same boat. I actually think reddit doesn’t want human users anymore. They want to be a bot-only outfit.

I agree with you but found that DeepSeek was succinct.

You need to bring your car to the car wash, so you should drive it there. Walking would leave your car at home, which doesn’t help.
