  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I love jokes that are just taking things literally. No, I'm not a kleptomaniac.

    any tips on an i3 like experience on macos?

    [–] yogurtwrong@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    I used to bind bind super+pageup to maximize and super+pagedown to minimize on KDE

    Now I am on Gnome and decided that I hate the minimize buttton. Super+uparrow is maximize and super+pagedownup is change workspace since they are in a very convenient spot on my keyboard.

    Other than that, I somehow pick up Gnome shortcuts and never realize how much I use them until somebody places me in front of another computer and I turn into either a boomer or start angrily smacking Gnome shortcuts like a monkey

    I keep trying to use hotcorners on every single computer I interact with lol. Got so used to just slamming my mouse top left corner to switch programs.

    I'm surprised this is what OP is complaining about with Sway. I couldn't be arsed to look at docs or tutorials yet, but I find multimonitor to be very unintuitive, unlike fullscreen.

    [–] Nyadia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    Not sure where you got the idea that I was complaining from. This post was inspired entirely by me seeing this gif somewhere and thinking "haha super f, like the default fullscreen keybind in i3 and Sway"

    You got me so good I didn't even realize it.

    [–] MrSoup@lemmy.zip 101 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

    This is the infamous gif that if you look away it seems faster.

    [–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 17 hours ago

    wtf, it does. Witchery

    [–] kibblebits@quokk.au 18 points 15 hours ago

    There’s no way that itβ€”wow.

    [–] rem26_art@fedia.io 20 points 16 hours ago

    that is absolute magic omg

    [–] ReptilianCleric@lemmy.zip 7 points 14 hours ago

    Or does it slow down when you look back?

    [–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (5 children)

    It doesn't work for me, I have it on the furthest of my peripheral vision. Same rate of stamping. So what brain disease did I just discover I have.

    [–] Sxan@piefed.zip 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Try looking below at content under it. It doesn't appear to speed up for me if I look to ΓΎe side, but it does if if it's in my upper periphery.

    [–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

    Nope. I still don't see it :(

    [–] Aqivex@fedinsfw.app 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    If you're lucky, just a case of stubborn brain that won't swap to auto mode lol

    After your comment, I found I could do both the fast and real speed from my peripheral, just by thinking myself into active focus without moving my head or eyes.

    Maybe you're unconsciously stuck in the manual mode? Or it's a brain tumor.

    [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    I think the effect is caused because if you look you see the context and in your head segment what is going on into different parts for your brains to analyze.

    The gif is quite fast so i actually think its more that paying attention makes you take in mode detail. Make it make overal seem slowerx

    When you look away you lose detail to know what part is on screen. You just see it flash/cycle between them.

    The harder you start analysing it, like the autist that i am, the more the brain seems to catch up and is able to measure a more subjective time.

    It's because there are two shots in the sequence, but one of the shots (the one of Timmy) has an abrupt slide midway that seems continuous while looking at it but seems like discrete shots when in your periphery.

    Looking away makes it feel like you went from "dot-dash" to "dot-dot-dot" so the whole thing suddenly seems to speed up.

    [–] andho@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

    I agree with this. When I looked away, it felt like it had more cuts so I had to do a double take.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 11 hours ago

    I actually set this on Niri too, and even in KDE.

    [–] Ricaz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

    Broken link?

    [–] heliotrope@retrofed.com 1 points 7 hours ago

    Got this in my cwm config, too.

    [–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

    I use Super-Enter instead.

    Super-F gets reserved for movement among windows, as f, b, p, and n are emacs's movement keys, and I use emacs-style keybindings rather than vi-style keybindings in sway.

    [–] heliotrope@retrofed.com 2 points 7 hours ago

    Ah, I use Super+Enter to spawn terminals.

    Me when I want to open another Firefox window...

    [–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

    Only full screen windows…
