@alva in the same vein:

@tindall for personal stuff, I use a customized emacs, but at work, I use a pretty vanilla setup. Basically, if there's a decent chance someone else is going to use that machine (for pair programming etc.), I want them to be able to.

This extends to keyboard layouts and window managers. i3 is nice, but only if you know the keyboard shortcuts, and there's no way to intuit them. Similar argument for keyboards: If you hand me a keyboard, the layout better match the caps.

@oddity I hate that the meter makes me read it as an-TEE-fa, but other than that A+

@l3viathan wh- how? Das muss dann doch einen custom usb-Treiber haben, oder?

ohhh, oder es verhält sich wie ein Touchscreen/Grafiktablett und integriert die Mausbewegungen. So many horrible possibilities

@l3viathan Ich glaube das Modell hätte theoretisch sogar unterstützt, die Mausgeschwindigkeit zu ändern. Auch auf HID-Ebene o.O

@l3viathan Convenience! </s>
das beste daran ist, dass die Sequenz keinen Timeout hat - vorm Bildschirm-sperren zuletzt ctrl gedrückt, zwei Stunden später nochmal ctrl zum Aifwecken, erstes Zeichen im Passwort eine Zahl, zack bumm, Output gewechselt /o\

@l3viathan pro tip: manche von denen haben Keyboard shortcuts. Auf der Arbeit hatte einer die Sequenz "ctrl-ctrl-X" um zu Rechner X zu wechseln. Das ist dauernd ungeplant passiert und alle haben sich gewundert warum der switch random zwischen Outputs wechselt...

Heh. The label on my toothpaste says "wirkt natürlich".

There's two ways to read that:
1. read "natürlich" an an adverb - now the phrase means "works naturally" (i.e. without additives, I guess?)
2. "wirkt" can also mean "appears/seems", so another valid translation is "appears natural". Probably not what they're going for, but certainly funnier.

@alva (I guess"release" does something similar in English, but the connotation of just letting something go into the wild vs explicitly *giving* it to someone is different still)

@alva that sounds related to the German "Ausgabe". I could roll with that as the German word, I like how it puts more focus on the fact that you're handing your software to someone, that there's a process and a reason to it

@Cheatha Atom? In meinem Tee? 😯

@alva I don't know where I heard/read this first, but C++ is great, because in a statement like

a = b + c;

the only thing you know what it does for certain it's the semicolon at the end. And even that is slightly questionable.

@alva Karlsruhe (the city I live in) has been adding more of those in the past few years. Car people whine about it every time, but it's *really* nice to have a sort of "bike highway" that crosses most of the city east-to-west, and smaller ones north-to-south

Now for the bad stuff:
There seems to be an upper limit for scroll speed on Sailfish. Great for performance (you can predict that it will take the user at least this many ms to reach off-screen content, no need to render it any earlier), not so good for responsibility.

I don't like the gestures. Intellectually, I get how "back to home screen" is the same thing as "back within an app", only more so.
But it's too easy to do one of those things when you mean to do the other.
