You should stop using Google Chrome. The company is following through on its threat to ban the ad/tracker blockers that a) help protect your privacy and b) make your web experience much more pleasant.

I've spent roughly a decade hacking on ChromeOS: patching it, compiling it from source, and deploying it into schools and charities. It was one of the best software engineering projects I've ever seen, but "Manifest V3" marks the end of my work with the platform. Effective adblockers are a basic security tool on the modern web and disabling them makes ChromeOS pretty useless.
Pet death
One of my geckos died. Very sad.
@bx Oh! BTW have you seen the gpd win 4? I really wish it had better linux support because the built in keyboard seems super convenient. https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin4
@bx Yeah iirc it's one of these. https://www.tindie.com/products/arturo182/bb-q20-keyboard-with-trackpad-usbi2cpmod/ tbh it wouldn't be an issue if my steam deck had more than one usb port :P
If jacking into the net could flatline you we'd probably have a different relarionship to doomscrolling.
@bx what sort if typing do you usually do tbw? I mostly code and do dms for work stuff. Usually I just use STT if I have something long to say

Many screen readers can produce a list with all the headings on a page. This allows users to browse the list and jump to a specific heading on the page. Write down that list and structure it. Does it make sense if you read it out loud?

if we can use normal every day operating systems to virtualize weird operating systems we can use weird operating systems as our daily drivers and virtualize normalcy, just keep it in a little box when we absolutely have to interact with it.
@bx Yes absolutely I get what you mean. I use a mini keyboard as my primary input device and the ps4 mini keyboard is just so much less confortable. A pal of mine gifted me a mini blackberry keyboard which I'm curious to try using for a while, but it being wired makes it a bit harder to set up
@futurebird @thepoliticalcat All the fun of spray painting too!
@bx Yessss. Big same about a steam deck based controller. I like the ps4 controller but the deck is so much nicer. Tho the typing thing is still nagging at me. Tbh the on screen keyboard on the deck isn't too bad with the dual trackpad typing.
@em @teal What makes you say that they can't? I use signed fetches as auth for the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox and it's pretty straightforward. There's the issue of CORS headers not being availabke on a lot of instances tho.
@teal Yeah defs gonna experiment with this in yhe AP client I'm plabbing to make for #DistributedPress
@bx oooo! What is the model name? I have been hoping for a bluetooth trackball
