There is also real-time coverage of pretty much everything happening anywhere in the world accessible to everyone 24/7.

As a kid most horrible news were only covered briefly and didn't feel as close/threatening as they do now with social media.

I am so grateful for already having been paranoid about sharing anything identifying about me starting 15+ years ago.

I never uploaded a picture of myself. Never used my real name anywhere. I used different nicks for different branches of the Internet. A plethora of different email addresses etc.

People thought I was being overly careful and I probably missed a lot of things due to not using Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat but I can't say I regretted it at any point.

I believe it actually does matter. Every person using Discord brings their friends onto the platform. Users leaving will probably also lead to others in their bubble leaving/following to an alternative.

So lots of people leaving has a bigger effect than just that set of users being absent. Even if you didn't pay for Nitro, some of your friends might have and may stop now.

Do you know about HeadsetControl?

Not sure how chat mix works on Linux though.

I know you specifically want a hardware solution, but if you use pipewire I have something for you that took forever to figure out from the docs and does just what you want with a single static config file: https://pastebin.com/XigrzvfD

Put this in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-virtual-sinks.conf and restart pipewire once. It is safe to try this. Once you remove the file and restart pipewire everything is back to normal.

This creates virtual output devices that you can assign applications to and control with e.g. pavucontrol. It's mapped to use my specific output devices, if you uncomment the lines and remove the node name expressions then all USB/PCIe devices are used.

It creates a setup of: virtual:[Games, Media, Comms] -> virtual:Main -> virtual:All Physical Outputs -> [output devices]

I wanted all audio to always play on all devices. You can of course adapt it to your use case. In my case the virtual Main is my global mute for everything. I never touch volumes or mute of the actual output devices.

I have the volume of these output nodes mapped to physical knobs to control games/voice/media independently globally.

EDIT: To control the nodes I use this script: https://pastebin.com/pANNDvup

Mute toggle: volume.sh set-mute virtual:Games toggle

Volume: volume.sh set-volume virtual:Games %d

You will have to adapt that slightly as I use it with OpenDeck and a stream deck clone for control. OpenDeck outputs [-]10 but wpctl needs 10-/10+. There is currently no way to set an absolute volume with that script since I didn't have the need.

Thank you! Finally an answer to my problem that didn't end with me going to the car wash and being utterly confused how to proceed.

Qwerty was developed so that typewriter hammers have a low chance of hitting each other and get stuck. It was never about finger travel or ergonomics.

PCs adapted the layout and unfortunately we stuck with it ever since. There are many better layouts, some more extreme in terms of difference to qwerty, some just fix the most blatant problems. Colemak and Dvorak for example.

What's there to discuss about ISO 8601?

If you just need the functionality then fzf does (among other things) exactly that. Interactive fuzzy cd. If you use the shell bindings you can do cd foo/bar/**<tab> to get a recursive fuzzy matching or you can do alt+c to immediately find any subdirectory and directly cd into it upon pressing enter. You can also use Ctrl+T to find and insert a path into the prompt.

+1 for Fastmail

Since anything but fully on-device encrypted/decrypted mails is still inherently insecure due to being unable to control the receiving end I consider email an insecure medium by default.

That was my reason to go with fastmail when I moved away from Gmail a couple of years ago and I am very happy with their service and apps. I am also paying three years at a time and would like to pay even further ahead of time, but what can you do.

I tried proton but didn't like being locked into using their apps or hosting the SMTP bridge at which point I might as well use a less secure approach to begin with that is more comfortable to use.
