Yes, especially at work. Different tasks, different tab groups. Once the task is done, the group dies. Really useful when working on multiple tasks at “the same time”.

Pair that with multi account containers and temporary containers and it’s a godsend tool for web dev.

Now does that need AI in any capacity? Absolutely not! I’m more upset that they’re even considering such thing because ir sounds utterly useless. A browser should do the browser thing and get out of my way.

Uuu… I approve that message

Nokia tune, migrated that shit from when I had a Nokia. The dissonance between modern phone and OG ringtone is quite amusing.

My message tone is more fun — Wilhelm scream. Had that for years and it confuses / startles people to this day.

Two words: good fucking luck!

Lately I’m more and more disappointed in EU legislations. Especially having to live with them…

I do like me some good prawns from time to time.

I tried watching new star wars and they were all so boring. I remember from childhood pod racing and that red guy with double light sabers.

I now see that people liked star wars for it’s story, but for me it was just a cool space fantasy. That nostalgia didn’t transfer for me.

I don’t very well remember the plot of the first three of the new movies, but I remember being bored, they felt slow and there were no hooks to make me care. After watching the third movie I just said fuck it and gave up.

I might try and watch the old movies as a grown up, but at this point I’d rather rewatch Shrek after work then gamble on a franchise I probably won’t like.

From my experience win+shift+s take a screen shot of all the screens. Print screen opens this small snipping tool widget at the top that gives me more control. Now the behavior might have changed since I’ve found it, windows 11 wasn’t a thing back then and snipping tool got some updates in recent years.

Add Home/End buttons into your work flow to jump to the start or end of lines. Works with holding Shift as well.

Works with Ctrl too

:h

Ok, windows “hacks” I use at work.

There’s a setting in windows that opens snipping tool when print screen is pressed. This allows to select a screen, window or a rectangle. More than that, it also has screen recording functionality. Very good for quick screen grabs with no additional software required.

Useful for multilinguals out there. Windows (and some linux distros) have an option to bind keyboard layout selection to open windows, meaning alt+tab’ing no longer requires switching between languages.

EDIT:
A phone thing. Some keyboards have whitespace and backspace drag functionality, that allows to move the cursor or highlight and delete text without blocking your view with your fat fingrers.

ANOTHER EDIT:
Having a mouse with at least two thumb buttons is a god send. Moving backwards and forwards between application pages is very useful.

Also, for devs. Go through you IDE shortcut settings and configure (ctrl|shift|alt)+click shortcuts. Having mouse controls to navigate between declarations, usages and implementations of different code elements with intention is awesome.
In the same vein: ctrl+(f|r) and ctrl+shift+(f|r) for find or replace in file or whole project respectively is really common use case.
Have multicarret shortcuts that allow edits in multiple lines at once. Don’t forget to add shortcuts like alt+(up|down) to move selected lines up and down.
Configure shortcuts for code folding like ctrl+numpad+ and ctlr+numpad- to expand and hide current block or combine with shift to manipulate the whole file.
And for gods sake use home and end keys, combined with ctrl and shift it allows for efficient navigation and selection within a file. Combine it with multicarret support and ctrl+side_arrow_keys and you have a way to sync multiple carrets and efficiently edit multiple lines.

Finnaly: f1 – help, f2 – rename, f5 – refresh / run, optionally with ctrl, f11 – fullscreen, f12 – devtools.

This, I feel unproductive when I use a mouse without side buttons.

I use zsh autosuggestion and syntax highlighting plugins it gives me usable history search and completion functionality.

Not a computer hack, but some phone keyboards have backspace and whitespace drag, the former allowing to select a range form the cursor to delete and the latter moving the cursor. Way more usable than trying to fat finger cursor position and selection.

Combine home and end with ctrl to move to the start or end of the file. As a dev I use this a lot.

I also have keyboard shortcuts for code folding and mouse shortcuts to navigate between usages, declarations and implementations. Onboarding people is a slog when they don’t have the same shortcuts.

Unless the page uses shitty “link” implementation where buttons are use instead of actual anchor tags. Fucking SPAs…

I rarely find good use for a semicolon sadly.

Lithuanian. We do have composite words, but we use vowels, if necessary, as connecting sounds. Otherwise dashes usually signify either dialog or explanations in a sentence (there’s more nuance, of course).

My language doesn’t really have hyphenated words or different dashes. It’s mostly punctuation within a sentence. As such there are almost no cases where one encounters a dash without spaces.

Am I… AI? I do use ellipses and (what I now see is) en dashes for punctuation. Mainly because they are longer than hyphens and look better in a sentence. Em dash looks too long.

However, that’s on my phone. On a normal keyboard I use 3 periods and 2 hyphens instead.
