Laptop keyboard and USB keyboard getting borked

My laptop keyboard died a few days ago, which was fine I guess, it has been a while, but for some reason my membrane USB keyboard is also broken. I don’t know why but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, f5, and f10 don’t work, with Alt and f10 now binded to left click. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find: uninstall keyboard drivers,...

Technical question: how can I find out what type of server (Mastodon/Pixelfed/Firefish/Peertube/etc) a site is running on?

While working on Fedimojis, I’d like to check that the link entered by the user is actually a Mastodon server, to avoid bugs or loading thousands of emojis from Pixelfed instances that don’t distinguish between local and external emojis....

how do you choose between two lauchers? steam amd gog through heroic?

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...

New phone with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus: should I still buy a screen protector?

Basically the title, I received a new price with a significant price tag (at least for me). My previous ones I didn’t care much so they weren’t protected. Given that I’d like to keep this one in good shape I’d like to know your experiences: does it still make sense to buy screen protectors nowadays? If so, also on newer...

Why are some modern tvs' audiovideo settings still sliders/incremental without an option for exact number input?

This is something on tvs and even PC monitors/speakers that’s left me a little confused. Sliders/incremental input are okay for basic settings adjustments, but if you know exactly what you want your settings at…Why isn’t there a direct number input option on more devices?...

Games with characters you miss most after completion.

It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away....

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....
