I use them fine with my left hand. There’s no reason to stay on home row if you’re doing a lot of copy and paste. Of course, if you’re doing that much copy and paste, using an extension that allows VIM shortcuts would be much faster.

If you don’t like BÉPO because you want familiar letter-based clipboard shortcuts, you’ve already made a better layout selection impossible. I learned to use the older clipboard shortcuts: ctrl+ins for copy, shift+ins for paste, and shift+del for cut. Those are still as universally supported.
The moratorium is actually since 2000, but only since 2006 in its current form. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_technology
Thankfully, no country, much less any multinational corporation, would ever dare cross the UN’s nonbinding, unenforceable moratorium. Can you imagine how stern the tone of the statement of condemnation would be, once it was worded such that a reasonable plurality of countries would agree to back it?

Linux@lemmy.ml•After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma.
1·1 year agoI was mostly being facetious. I haven’t tried it in decades, but I’m pretty happy with Cosmos.
🎤 Tap, tap, is this thing on? Posting again, even though this joke is probably only for me.
Presumably, this is F W DeMorgan’s Law.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Let's talk about the stupid whale probe.
4·1 year agoIt probably should’ve been dolphins, just as a nod to H²G², but also because I’m not sure the scale of that Klingon BOP ever read as big enough for two whales to me.
But, some possible suspects: whales (maybe they are superintelligent, pan-dimensional beings and the business with the krill and the singing is just a front), whale keepers or collectors (maybe they’ve stocked Earth with an important livestock that they want to protect from the apes, or see TNG S3E22 “The Most Toys”), whale descendants (see VOY S3E23 “Distant Origins”), or a species that has determined that loss of the whales indicates humanity has become irredeemable (or a corrupted timeline).
I really like the tiling window support in Pop_OS!'s Cosmos desktop.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Apparently, the mods at Linuxsucks are really sensitive?
12·1 year agoIt’s the same argument I’ve heard about the “complexity” of Mastodon: too many choices, which is I guess why people largely stopped going to websites outside the major social networks. Monopoly over competition, it’s like everyone is pining for a monarchy.

I’ve always called Word documents and PDFs “dead-end formats” (DEF). Once you export your data to them, there’s no reliable way to retrieve your data from them for further transformation like you can for YAML, JSON, XML, HTML, Markdown, &c.
I had that computer, and it was much more than a calculator, unless you mean a modern programmable one. This one could be programmed in BASIC. It also had a receipt-sized printer you could get.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
311·1 year agoAs I’ve said elsewhere: I wonder what controls Mozilla has in place to prevent gradual takeover of their board by those with an interest in removing Firefox as a competitor. We’ve watched the sleeper cell in the Supreme Court transform that body into an illegitimate partisan puppet. Mozilla’s actions over the last few years would make much more sense if it were being manipulated into self destruction.
