When I was around 3 years old, me and my not much older brother decided to walk across town, where our mum was visiting relatives.

I was missing mummy, which was technically not an emergency, for which we were supposed to phone those relatives.
We had been raised very well, you see. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

What I don't like about the genre, is that I'm bad at it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

More seriously, I do find it kind of frustrating at times. Restarting ten times in a roguelike, no problem, because it's always a new challenge.
But if I miss the same jump ten times, or have to retry the same platforming passage ten times, you'll see me getting impatient, which means I'll fail the next ten attempts, too...

Codeberg recently held a translation event where projects could sign up, if they wanted help. You can still look at their resources here, or I guess, you can just pick out a project and start translating over here: https://translate.codeberg.org/

Depending on your file manager, you may be able to hold Shift while triggering the delete to get a hard delete.

Shift+Del is pretty much standardized as the keyboard shortcut. And here on KDE, I can hold Shift while clicking the "Move to Trash" menu entry, too (well, it actually replaces the menu entry with one for permanent deletion, but that's effectively the same).

I mean, when you hold down the Alt key, it's convention that GUI toolkits underline a letter in the text of UI elements, and when you then press Alt + that letter, it'll activate that UI element.
That way, you can navigate most apps in a keyboard-driven fashion, although it is certainly not the most comfortable to use...

The post was ultimately just an ad for an Indian tech company. And yeah, looked very ChatGPT, so not worth reading in my opinion.

Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.

But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.

You can probably just do sleep 5 && grim as the program to run.

It depends on your desktop environment or window manager, how you'd bind a command to a keybind.

A few years ago, I got put into the same room as an extremely Catholic colleague and the kind of jackass who'd start discussions about everything.

And yeah, my only luck was that I was a 'better' Christian than him in every discipline. Well, you know, apart from being a heretic.

I've got various text files in Markdown format.

I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I've bound to a global shortcut, so it's just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.
