Cake day: June 12th, 2023

  • I changed all the KDE shortcuts to be like on Mac (because I like those more). I have a keyboard with Mac layout for my Linux PC and have swapped meta and ctrl via the keyboard settings (i.e. you press ⌘C but software receives ctrl+c), because a lot of non-KDE apps are way worse about remapping shortcuts so if they really want ctrl I at least want it to be on the ⌘ key, and also because the meta key behaves weirdly at least in Qt, for example it doesn’t block text input when held down unlike ctrl.

    These are the big annoyances with this that do trip me up:

    • Terminal (since I’ve switched ⌘ and ⌃, the standard shell keys such as ⌃C are now ⌘C instead because that is unremappable in Konsole, and I’ve had to put copy/paste/etc. on ⌃C etc. instead)
    • Text navigation in Firefox — while I remapped the bindings for KDE/Qt, it’s impossible to do that in Firefox which means ⌥◀︎ is “navigate back” instead of “move caret back one word”. This is the most awful because it keeps making me reload pages when I’m editing text and don’t pay attention
    • Text navigation in KDE/Qt apps — it’s so close to good but I can’t remap the “extend selection word left/right” keys from ⇧⌘◀︎/▶︎ to ⇧⌥◀︎/▶︎ to be like the “move caret” keys (⌥◀︎/▶︎). Same for the select to start/end of line keys.






  • What are the “2 all-day events”?

    Tap on it to find out (if this wasn’t an image). I assume there’s a fixed one row of space for an all-day event there. That’s definitely on purpose, considering they even have a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events. Sure, it could be two or up to two elements but that comes at the cost of the detail on the timeline below. They probably considered the timeline to be more important because that changes more often as opposed to the all-day events that only change once per day, and that as a consequence you’re going to check the all-day events once per day (or even just the day before), so you can just tap the widget if you want to see them.

    It would be great if it was more customizable in terms of the layout of course, but this is Apple we’re talking about. I’m honestly surprised there’s a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events in the first place.

    Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.

    This one’s a timeline, not a list of events unlike the one in your post, and in that time (8-12 today) there are no events, so it’s blank. It’s as much wasted white space as the full calendar view with no events in it.

    Personally I have no problem with the calendar widget, but I have to say collapsing today’s all-day events in the list view as in the OP if there’s space left is questionable at best.


  • I don’t know honestly??? University is draining the life out of me right now but other than that I think I’m fine, in spite of my tendencies to say/do things that might indicate otherwise (but at least part of that is just because I like being dramatic sometimes).

    Though considering I’ve often been having low motivation to do anything and sometimes just been staying in bed for over half of the day saying I’m fine might just be a whole lotta cope. :^)

    But yeah I would say most of my friend group is not depressed, but I’ve also never directly asked and you often never know so that doesn’t mean much.











  • It’s crazy that the in-app browser isn’t an OS-level overlay that the app can’t influence or look at what the user is doing in it. It would be totally feasible to implement, at least in theory.

    Exact same as with the photos chooser on iOS which should really work in a way that the app never sees your entire photo library except for the photos you end up selecting, but it still being visible in the overlay, which would also allow them to get rid of that incredibly dumb permissions system it has.
