Ask Lemmy

I used to use WindowMaker as my windowmanager, there was a setting which had the comment "this is annoying", which unless used, wm context menus may be rendered off screen, which is really fucking annoying. I was disrohopping a lot at the time, so it was always "install windowmaker, turn on 'annoying' setting"

Language. I can understand English with no problem, but I prefer Spanish if available.

Turn off touchscreen beep on the car infotainment screen.

Too long to list.

Almost all keybinds. I use a gamepad, and re-map keys on the gamepad so that all game functions are as close to the same keypress as possible. Run will always be the same, interact will be the same, hold breath, reload, etc. etc. So it’s far easier to pick up speed in a game when you don’t need to spend as much time pausing to look up what key does the funcrion you need.

Turn off mic and camera permissions

Mouse sensitivity. Every game it's just ESC spam until I can get an options menu. Shoutout to the games with a 5m gameplay intro before you can access options. Super double special shoutout to games with 5m of very loud unskippable cutscenes before you can change audio settings.

For first person games, map reload on mouse 4 and sprint (or whatever else was on shift, maybe a spell) on mouse 5. Melee is left alt.

Mute or disable all notifications except direct messages.

GNOME interactive screenshot from default to Ctrl+shift+s

That's all "customization" that's needed to make GNOME work for me

new minecraft instance -> FOV 90

new browser -> remember open tabs when closing (and install adblock)

langauge -> English (i live in Poland so many devices come with polish as a default)

in games -> subtitles on

in tv shows -> subtitles off (unless the audio is poorly balanced with sfx)

i've also built muscle memory on my specific set up of Adobe apps, so if i were to use someone else's photoshop i'd feel lost and confused

I switch from swipe to buttons on my android phone every single time.

Every single time I launch a new game the first thing I ALWAYS have to fix is the fuckin audio being way too goddamn loud. Why WHY does every single game have to launch with all the volume set to 100%???

I can't remember what game it was I started played recently, but it had all the volume set to 50% on first launch and my friend and I actually like cheered from joy. That should be the norm not an exception so rare we celebrate it.

If you are a game dev please for the love of God set the default volume to at least 50%. Let the player choose to blow out their eardrums if they want later. Don't force it on all of us. Especially if you have loud music that starts the millisecond the main menu pops up or if you have any unskippable cutscenes before you let them see the volume settings.

I always change Sprint to Spacebar and Jump to Shift. Also I usually have to change the invert Y-Axis setting.

TikTok is only bearable if you set it to open muted by default.
