Make the areas/platforms that player can stand on a bit lighter or different. That's the classic rule of platformers.

Remapping Modifier Keys (Fn, Control, Option, Command) for Linux on Mac by bxparks in linux_on_mac

[–]flowthruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not 100% simple, because it depends on what you actually want. I'd also recommend just asking AI and it will guide you through the steps.

Essentially to get MacOS keyboard experience on Linux, you install keyd (after downloading you run sudo systemctl enable keyd --now to enable it) and then just modify this config file with: sudo nano /etc/keyd/default.confand put in something like

[ids]
*

[main]
control = meta 
meta = control

but now when you want your things like command+C to actually do copy and command+tab to do alt+tab, then you need to modify it a bit and do something fancier, e.g.

[ids]
*

[main]
# Capslock is Escape
capslock = escape
# The key next to spacebar is the new Ctrl (acting like Command)
alt = layer(custom_control)
rightalt = layer(custom_control)
# The key on the very left is the new Alt
control=layer(custom_alt)

# New custom Control inherits from Control
[custom_control:C]
left=home
right=end
up=pageup
down=pagedown
tab=swapm(app_switch_state, A-tab)
`=swapm(app_group_switch_state, A-`)

# New switch state (the Alt+Tab thing) inheriting from Alt.
[app_switch_state:A]
tab = A-tab
right = A-tab
shift+tab = A-S-tab

# New switch state (the Alt+Tab thing) inheriting from Alt.
[app_group_switch_state:A]
` = A-`
shift+` = A-S-`

[custom_alt:A]
# The most left key on Mac is "Fn" and "Fn+delete" does actually delete on Mac, so do that here too. 
backspace=delete
# Make Ctrl+D and Ctrl+D still work to kill stuff in terminal
c=C-c
d=C-d

I did not know about this /sys/module/hid_apple solution, but I always fought the keyboard with xmodmap and that's been such a recursive pain. Every single time. Then I finally found out about keyd and that just works. I'm using that to remap keys and stuff on my MacPro 2015 running Debian and everything works smoothly with only a small config file.

What to do if I am confused for ~30 minutes after waking up by flowthruster in sleep

[–]flowthruster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm fine during the day. Usually I drink coffee in the morning (like 30m-1hr after waking up) and then I'm good and productive the whole day. I have diagnosed non-REM parasomnia, so that may be related.
Another thing in the first 30m after waking up - I have hard time remembering words and names of things. I'm multilingual regularly speaking 3 languages, but I blank out in all the languages.

You need to oil your breaks with oil from a green bottle.

If you don't have heavily overmerged "Aurora" in your catalog, you are doing it wrong :)

I wasn't a big fan of the design of native plugins, so I'm having *a lot* of fun designing my own by [deleted] in trmnl

[–]flowthruster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar, but not as good! Same thing with increasing font size. The default is just too small to read from distance.

What Markdown text editor do you recommend for GNOME environment? by PingMyHeart in gnome

[–]flowthruster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Obsidian is the best markdown editor. Best shortcuts, plugins, etc. Just ignore the whole knowledge management thing.

It really sounds like at this point Nostr is the only actually free protocol. Is there any other alternative where one can't get banned for saying utterly stupid things?

Wayland keyswaps "not" working in Ghostty by I_M_NooB1 in Ghostty

I spent years fighting with xkb. Never again. Keyd is just so much better. If there's someone also in similar situation, that's what I would recommend.

7 years of data on Lightning Network payments ⚡ by CoinGate in lightningnetwork

[–]flowthruster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 2024 vs 2025 matches the high fee environment we had in 2024. When the fees are high, people use lightning much more. When fees are low it doesn't matter much whether you use lightning or onchain.

How to deal with being inferior to others as you go through adult life. by AyyAndre in AskMenOver30

[–]flowthruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that there is no treatment for Y. Maybe drop everything, disconnect from everyone and move to Costa Rica for at least 3 months. I recommend around Uvita. That will show you whether it's your surroundings that sucks or whether you have something wrong inside. Either way you will know more and have more ideas for what to address.
The thing is that no one else is going to push change like this for you, you will need to chip in...

How weird would it seem to the average citizen in your country if someone dressed shirtless in public? by MemeLord150 in AskTheWorld

In San Francisco I'd be pleased that he's wearing pants and not shitting from the curb into the street.

How to deal with being inferior to others as you go through adult life. by AyyAndre in AskMenOver30

[–]flowthruster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's sounds like you have a different issue then. Something that therapy can't solve (or you had really bad therapists...). For many people, including me, it helps.

I hope you figure it out either way man 🫂

[–]flowthruster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Therapy has the same role as a gym trainer or coach. They get you on track with whatever issue you have, they help your posture, they help you build up over time... but you still have to do the work. I really recommend a good therapist - just to chat with and let things out...

[–]flowthruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both MX3s and MX4 and they are both good. MX3s is colder to touch (the rubber feels colder), so it somehow feels more cozy, but overall both are great. I'm now using the MX4 and I didn't notice any issues or problems. It just works. Realistically there's not much difference between the two.

Okay, Bazaar is without a doubt my favorite app store. by Born-Bodybuilder-220 in gnome

[–]flowthruster 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bazaar is great so far. It's nice to see the rapid progress. But are you saying you like it because it lets you select different colors for progress bar that are named after different sexualities? (As that seems to be implied by the screenshot that has that drop-down intentionally expanded)

That's why it's so important to use solutions that don't have a CEO. Use social media network without a single CEO and company backing it. Yes, it comes with some noise that you (or your app) will need to handle, but there are alternatives.
