I think the origin was that Surface devices had a dedicated Office button, so you could press Office+W to open Word and such. Office+L opened LinkedIn

But this button was internally just mapped to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win, giving this shortcut. I am actually impressed that it uses your default browser though instead of forcing Edge.

I use a Git repo for the files, and a simple Makefile to script the correct paths and optional install steps for them

That looks useful, thanks for sharing

Probably just that Pikachu often says “pika pika”, and sometimes variations like “pika pi”

This looks really nice, I’ll star it so I remember to download it later

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It’s just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.

So I’m sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that’s s problem with the management, not with me.

That seems like a very depressing mindset to have. And don’t generalize your view onto everyone else like that. You say this as if I’m forcing everyone else at work to talk to me, which I am not. I am not even the one to initiate most conversations.

By talking to others, I’m feeding on their energy? I never said that I forcefully disturb others so they have to talk to me or something. I just enjoy the casual day-to-day chats with my coworkers.

But if calling strangers gross on the internet makes you feel good, I hope you have a lovely day.

I’m sorry for having an opinion different than yours. I am not even saying that WFH is bad or anything, just that I don’t prefer it.

4 days on-site. I like the mental separation by having a completely separate space for work, and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. I don’t see many people outside of work, so I need the social interaction. And the lunches at work are usually much healthier than something I’d cook up myself, so that’s also a plus.

I have tried to work from home a few days, but don’t really like it at all.

Can be, it’s fairly common. But they are then usually anthropomorphic, and sometimes with fur as well (mine doesn’t though)

I picked a dragon because I like dragons

I really love concept albums where the chorus of the first song makes a return in the finale. Makes it feel so conplete.

Examples, all power metal:

• Gloryhammer - Return to the kingdom of Fife
• Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game
• Marius Danielsen’s Legend of Valley Doom - (all three albums listened to together)

I don’t understand how Zedge still exists, and is apparently doing relatively well too

CloneZilla has worked well for me in the past

I think I’ve heard that Microsoft is replacing it though unfortunately (but I don’t have a source, so take it with a grain of salt)

I also talked to a design student who said that the whole design community hated the current save icon, so we might be doomed to a new meaningless minimalistic icon.

I’ve used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I’ve therefore just stuck with it. I don’t always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)
