@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I really like it! It's nice and big, and accurate. It's wired and feels like a 3D printed enclosure (it is), but if you know what you're getting, it's well worth it to me.

@nprofile1q... the new ThinkPad has virtual buttons at the top of the trackpad. It works fine but isn't the same.

@nprofile1q... yeah I've debated that as well, but my perspective is:

1. It's still useful as a resource for me, my friends, people I know IRL and thus still worth writing.

2. The alternative is that that knowledge would either be lost, trapped in some proprietary platform (which is probably training LLMs on my data anyway), or on social media that is almost certainly being scraped anyway.

3. I think human-authored primary sources of information will make a big comeback as people tire of AI slop.

@nprofile1q... thank you!

In related news, I got a ThinkPad for work for the first time. Idk about this whole pointing stick thing. It's kinda neat but I feel like I have to concentrate about 10× harder than when just using the big ol' haptic trackpad right below.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/243/

@nprofile1q... lmao noooo I just have the trackpad lmao

@nprofile1q... the first screenshot is the video embedded on a webpage, the second is the squared pip window.

Is this basically the same as on macOS and Windows, or do those platforms do something nicer with that window?

Does Firefox behave consistently with other picture-in-picture apps on those platforms? Is the window always-on-top by default? Does it open in a consistent place? Does it snap to the screen edges, or is it free-floating? 👀
