When I tried to log in to Element messenger earlier after months of absence, it asked me for a "security key file". That's when I remembered that I had deleted a file of that exact name from my Downloads folder weeks ago because I didn't know any more where it came from. So I went into my backups, and realised that they had failed since June last year. Thankfully, the security key file was even older. š
Lessons learned: Check your backups regularly. Name your files properly.

@trezzer @killyourfm This growing sandboxing headache was what got me to switch to Windows/WSL after many years of loyal macOS usage. I installed Linux as dual-boot for some dev work. Surprisingly, I found that Linux covered all my needs, despite them being pretty varied.

@killyourfm @trezzer I use Bitwig for music production and Kdenlive for simple video editing. Happy camper.

@killyourfm The HHKB keyboard layout is one of my favourites. It puts Del on Fn+Backspace, so I'd emulate that as Alt+Backspace. I try to limit Super to window management hotkeys.

Seeing all those lecture halls at #FOSDEM full of people without masks makes me sad. I know that conversations are harder wearing masks, but just sitting there and listening? What a missed opportunity to prevent spreading disease.This behaviour is the reason why I still don't feel like going to conferences again. Not because I feel unsafe with my mask, but because I feel like a total outsider.@phpledge

@juliank @JamesWidmanI'm neurotypical, but my hearing gets worse in noisy rooms, for example in pubs or at conferences. When I was at DrupalCon Prague end of last year, many people thankfully wore masks, but not seeing their mouths move made conversations much more exhausting for me.

@clacke I think I'd be worried of quickly making the conversation awkward by not looking at the person speaking. @juliank @JamesWidman

āApple is destroying the Mac by trying to make it saferā ā which is why I switched to #Linux a few years ago. āAppleās admirable security regime on macOS has been implemented without enough care for the user experience, especially during upgrade or migration processes where new permissions need to be granted. Itās a usability disaster.ā https://www.macworld.com/article/2101369/overzealous-security-is-wrecking-the-mac-user-experience.html
