I have one setup to trigger the built-in background sounds that were recently added to the accessibility settings. It lets me play the sounds (which are basically like white noise or like a loop of water running in a creek). Normally you have to dig through the menus, but my shortcut does it with one tap!

I'm not uninstalling it also. It's a memorial to the good times and to remind me not to visit reddit.

I feel the same way. There’s a lot of interesting relationships that are made complicated by who has control and how they wield it.

I used to use primarily linux on my desktop and laptop but haven't in a long time. Back then it was because I couldn't afford newer hardware and so linux (I used to use xfce and then later lxqt) performed great on older hardware. But now that I can afford it, I have been using Macs though I still dip into a headless linux VM for some development when the need arises.

The Fifth Season, it's an epic fantasy novel by N.K. Jemisin. I originally started it about a month ago but I've just been reading it in fits and starts, though it's not particularly long. The story takes place in a world which gets wiped by a global catastrophe every couple of centuries. Certain people called orogenes have the ability to manipulate the earth in order to bring about or quell earthquakes. They've also got some other interesting abilities. Naturally, the regular people, who are the majority called Stills, are fearful of orogenes and they've formed society such that they can harness but most importantly control orogenes. Bit of a slow start, but since I've made it halfway through, it's been very engaging.
