  • I was pretty lucky in university as most of my profs were either using cross platform stuff or Linux exclusive software. I had a single class that wanted me using windows stuff and I just dropped that one.

    Awesome that you’re getting back into it, it’s definitely the best it’s ever been (and you’re right that Steam cracked the code). It sounds like you probably know what you’re doing if you’re running Linux VMs and stuff, but feel free to shoot me a PM if you run into any questions or issues I might be able to point you in the right direction for.




  • Earlier today I googled how to toggle full screen in dosbox-x and the AI-generated answer said to use alt+enter. Tried it and it didn’t work, so I look in the documentation and it turns out that they changed it to F12+f a while ago (probably to avoid interfering with actual dos input).

    This is definitely already a problem.








  • To add to this, if the phantom clicks are indeed primarily happening while typing or otherwise moving your hands near the touchpad, you should check to see if tap to click is enabled. The unintentional clicks that feature produces drives me crazy and I have no idea why it’s always on by default when a physical click or button is always available.








  • Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

    • sshing into servers and my home when I’m out and about
    • using croc to transfer files
    • making videos I’m going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
    • downloading stuff with yt-dlp
    • giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
    • scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
    • running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
    • using vim
    • probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting
