just to chime in on alternative keyboard layouts:

I'm german and can't recommend the neo2 family of layouts enough.
I currently am using the "noted" layout and it feels absolutely amazing.

The different layer approach makes it easy to write all the symbols for programming I need, or if you are a writer, all the »correct« „quotation“ marks.
there's even support for all the greek letters used in math equations: ℤℵ×∀ℂΣ∫∃∇ℕℝ∂ΛΦΨ

You can learn more about the layout here (site is in german):

I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.

And don't be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.

Thanks! I'm not really a photographer and this was done by my cellphone, but I really liked how it turned out. It was much more stunning in reality though. 😅

I had trouble with my Logi G935 Headset. Whenever I muted myself by flipping the mic up, I couldn't unmute ever again. Had to replug the receiver. Once I uninstalled G-Hub I noticed the mic immediately unmuting. Now it works without any problems.

I could even reactivate the Virtual Surround Sound by installing the respective audio software (DTS:X Headphones iirc).

Since then I have migrated to a dedicated Wired Headphone/Microphone Setup, which works flawlessly (and sounds way better).

I self host some stuff, because I dislike that I'm buying only the rights to consume certain kinds of e-media, instead of buying the e-media itself. So I make us of the consumer rights laws in europe and make a decrypted personal copy and stream it myself from my home server (an outdated laptop)

I spun this up just today and had no issues whatsoever. Just a bad aftertase because the AIO package creates and manages other containers on the host, I'd love to have more control over those as well. But for the sake of comfortability I'll just have to accept that. And it truly works out of the box!

But that's PS5 VR exclusive, OP said he had a Quest 2 and I believe the VR Patches for PC are still quite janky.

I go to the gym 3 times a week to prevent any kind of injuries like back pains, obesity or carpal tunnel. Before I started I was nearing the "severe obesity" bmi value and had constant back pains. Getting fitter decreases risk of illness and injuries.

As for the repetitive motions. I have ADHD so I'm always moving some parts of my body. :/

My first car was a 1994 Toyota Starlet. After 20 years it still ran perfectly. I was clueless about cars then as well, never did an oil change and probably never changed the tires as well. It cost 250 bucks at the time. I drove that small hero for 4 years, before I had to sell it, because of financial reasons.
It still drove perfectly then as well.

My second car was a Citroen C4 from 2004. Broke down in a year, and even in that year it was 2 months in the workshop. We did some few things ourselves, because a friend of mine is a hobby car mechanic. Some things in that car were just straight up weirdly placed or so fricking annoying to deal with.

The Auris 2014 is now my third car. Never had any problem until now. Always go to the yearly checkups, nothing found at all. This is the first time I got my car professional car washes in those big automated wash streets. I love that special snowflake (it's pearlescent white, so my wife calls it snowflake 😄)

The same can be said about GOG and Bandcamp items. Most of them are easier to find than physical media, too. Thanks to the Internet Archive!

Digital Media is just another form of Media. It's a lot easier to copy, too. That's why the publisher's thought it necessary to implement DRM, just in the worst way possible. In fact they tried to copy-protect books! Here is a stack question and great answer about this.

I as well feel more engaged in every fediverse community I'm part of.
I've even been tooting on mastodon, when I don't even have a twitter. It's fascinating how a welcoming community can make you feel at ease.
