Turns out in Elden Ring, you’re supposed to go left when you leave the initial starting area so you can pick up the ability of teleportation to bonfires.

Well, imagine my surprise learning that from friends 10 play hours later after going right and opening up a teleporting treasure chest to some crystal cave…

Here is a thread where someone asked this question a month or so back and a lot of people weighed in, myself included.

I am a kinesis advantage 2 enjoyer, myself.

Runner minutes from runners on gitlab online are limited to some certain amount according to some calculations… I dunno. But if you self-host your own runners, wherever they may exist (your own home lab in shell, in containers, in a k8s cluster, really a lotta options ) then you don’t pay anything to use your own runner minutes. I can tell you from experience they aren’t that difficult to get going and registered to your online gitlab workspace or self-hosted gitlab platform, simple matter of registering the runner with a token key given to you in the runner panel on gitlab, and providing it a TLS cert especially if you intend for the runners to interact with self-hosted container registries because then it will stop yelling at you.

I felt this thread in my soul, as I’m never more hyper aware about bugs in my code as I am after I’ve already submitted the PR.

I have bi-lateral carpaltunnel (Mild left, moderate right) and have found it greatly managed in my life as a heavy computer user for work and pleasure by changing my keyboard to the Kinesis Advantage 2. This is an expensive keyboard that definitely isn’t in a lot of people’s range but thankfully work was able to get it for me to prevent further RSI.

I swear by this damn keyboard though. The split and boxy design perfectly aligns to my shoulder width, and my arms out in front of me rest very comfortably on the pads below each hand-well. The keys are ortholinear meaning instead of the usual QWERTY keyboards having a slight staggering of the keys (and thus, at least for me, I have a lot of micro-adjusting of my hands and wrist as I’m typing) the keys being aligned straight up and down where my fingers are resting means all I have to do is flex my fingers foward and back to hit the proper key. Having the very often used keys on my thumbs (backspace/delete/enter/control/alt/windows+CMD key) mean no more stretching out my pinky to push it.

Far more affordable options include the Iris split keyboards that are DIY in a kit (you provide your own key switches), which I’ve had my eye on for a long while but could never seem to tear myself away from the advantage 2. Since I’ve been issued a new laptop with work that is a lot thinner and easier to work out of a coffeeshop or drop-in desk somewhere with, I might start revisiting that conversation.

For completeness sake - I use a logitec Ergo M575 trackball mouse. I grew up laughing at a family member who worked in tech for using this kind of mouse back when it was that ball of clay and an optical sensor. I’m not laughing anymore now that I have to use it so my hands don’t hurt from work at by the end of the day 😭

Just going off of a quick stroll through the iOS app store (as of time of this post)

• Apollo is the highest rated 3rd party reddit app at #11 in the News category (for comparison, the next highest was Narwhal at #75 within this same category)
• Apollo does not however breach the top 200 apps app-store-wide. The official reddit app does at #52 overall. and enjoys the company of other ubiquitous apps like Hulu, Duolingo, Google Drive, and Disney+, all within 10 ranks of it on the overall list.
• It does seem that reddit has crunched their numbers and gambled that 3rd party app users and the uproar they are in is a calculable loss against the groundswell of desktop and official reddit app users.

I may have been a little… overzealous when I wrote my beehaw application but I echo this point when I submitted

My last comment on reddit was 6 years ago. I was afraid of what it and the internet at large was becoming. Afraid to be a human online because the trolls and the dox and the swats. The mission statements in the side bar, the long and insightful posts that hope to bridge new people to the culture of beehaw that speak of being nice and compassionate, of working together to build a community of varied interests and peoples let me dare to dream that there exists a place where I can be a human on the internet again.

It’s going to take a lot of deconditioning to not be a lurker!
