Thank you, Vimium has recently been getting out of whack for me. Whenever I use it to scroll, the clickable areas don’t scroll at the same rate until I use my trackpad to scroll, which really defeats the purpose of keyboard navigation

True, but the M1 MacBooks have really taken a beating in price. And the Airs were already quite a good deal to start with, so they do still seem competitive (8GB RAM notwithstanding). Been using a base model air since launch, and unless I hit swap super hard (I rarely do) it's still great :)

Not sure if it's literally FOSS, but OpenAI's Whisper is the best transcription I've ever used and the models are all free to download and use locally.

Having not read the story: sometimes humans shoot at other humans who they have been trained view as subhuman

The real question is: aren't Jewish people mostly not Israeli? To which the answer is: yeah of course most Jewish people aren't Israeli don't be silly

Aside from native proton, being able to do everything (easily) from the controller. It's amazing how often you still need a mouse, or just the windows key, in windows :(

Think home as in a place you live, vs house as in a place where people can live. The landlord owns a bunch of houses, which are themselves other peoples' homes

Excel does always seem to be the thing people can’t substitute, which is weird because it doesn’t seem terribly more complicated than Word (?)

I think this is a difference of use case. I use mine for writing long-form prose, so the dry out times aren't an issue (though I do sometimes slip it into the cap if I'm considering where to go next). The skating is nice because I don't have to put too much pressure on the pen and get hand cramps. I also like refilling the pen once it gets low, but I have a piston filler so that happens less often than with cartridges.

All that said, if I had to use my fountain pen to take notes in school again, I would absolutely hate it. Quick, random note taking is basically a worst case scenario for a fountain pen, so I do see where you're coming from. Glad you're happy with the ballpoints :)
