Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it’s actually happening and not just you imagining things – see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn’t mean you’ll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who’s had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it’s really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.

There’s a 100% chance that his mic issues are not driver related, but instead are Discord’s fault. They are classically awful at providing feature parity for Linux.

Have him fiddle with the audio settings, it’s probably either the echo cancellation or noise reduction. As another commenter mentioned there are third party solutions for both.

FYI for GW2 you can actually use the steam client even if your account is non-steam, you just need to use a launch option – see here https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/wvxqe3/logging_into_guild_wars_2_on_steam_with_an/

To be clear, the vast majority of “games with anti-cheat” work perfectly well on Linux. It’s just the ones where developers have chosen to either explicitly block Linux (e.g. Fortnite) or to use invasive rootkit anti-cheat (e.g. Riot games, FACEIT, etc.) which wouldn’t be allowed to work on Linux anyway because it’s a really stupid idea to let random gaming companies have access to your ring 0.

Love the look and the layout, though non-ortholinear custom keyboards always make me raise an eyebrow

Vim and emacs are the two most popular keyboard-driven text editors, and are something of a meme in the software world.

Really a better analogue would be tiling window managers like sway, i3, bspwm, dwm etc. but they’re also harder to get started with.

“look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme but with Vim (or really this is a rare case where I have to hand it emacs since it can basically run a whole OS)

Right and Windows’ direction is so clear and not hype-driven at all

Choosing to produce generic and soulless music for profit isn’t a good reason to dislike a band?

Depending on how willing you are to set things up for her, you might want to take a second look at either the Voyager, or any other QMK-compatible keyboard. It’s incredibly flexible firmware that lets you define fully custom layouts. If she’s doing a lot of typing, it might be worth the effort to make (and adjust to) a custom layout with quick access to her most used modifiers and symbols.

I’ve got the Ergodox, so my recommendation is entirely off the strength of that product. If I were buying from them today, I’d probably get the Moonlander, but that’s because I use my keyboard with my home desktop 99%+ of the time. If you plan to travel, commute, or otherwise use your keyboard in multiple places, I think the low profile keys will be perfect for that.

As for add-ons, there isn’t really anything to add for the Voyager. If you’re considering the Moonlander, I would be tempted by The Platform. It’s a full third of the already hefty price of the keyboard, but it looks like the dream tilt solution. The legs on the Ergodox, which look to be the same legs as on the Voyager, are serviceable, but the interface that keeps them in place can wear out needing replacement, and they can only tilt so much (the Voyager has less I believe, so you can still tilt it but at less esoteric angles). The platform will let you get nearly vertical with each hand if you want, which is kind of the ergonomic dream. Although, tbf, after using my Ergodox for a couple years, I rarely tilt it at all and just use it flat on the desk along with the included wrist/palm supports

I think we all know this, but it’s the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

ZSA Voyager is great, but it’s ergo so neither ISO nor ANSI.

I use an ergodox, which is about a 60% although there are dedicated cursor keys in non-standard positions. It’s fine, every f-key is one extra keystroke away.

Using vim (actually Helix for me) also helps, home and end are accessible but they’re really not something I press often.

The best way to clean glasses is with your fingers using warm water and dish soap. Don’t use super hot water, it can damage the coatings on some lenses. Start with a rinse to remove any particles, then clean them between your fingers, then a final rinse, shake them off and let them air dry.

Using any type of cloth can cause scratches as you’ve found.

Sure, I don’t think it’s like toxic or anything, but I also understand why Martin viewed the situation as an impasse requiring a decision from on high. Also, from my limited understanding it sounds like the new code was in a sequestered rust-only section of the dma subsystem, so I’m not clear on exactly what new burdens were being placed on the C dma maintainers.

If you read the article, the main issue is not the fact that it’s Rust itself, but that it’s a second language entering the codebase. There’s definitely some validity to the argument.

My personal view is that any C developer who doesn’t want to learn Rust is going to kick themselves once they do.

To be fair, I’m not sure how “I will do everything in my power to oppose this” is the anti-Rust side “work[ing] towards some resolution”…
