I kind of wish more people realized how much of everyday computer usage can be simplified with keyboard shortcuts. Take a look around your favorite apps/programs and/or Google for “keyboard shortcuts”, and try to build a habit of using shortcuts for some of the most frequently used commands. It's very liberating as it gives you a feeling of greater control.

For example, in Windows, did you know that if you pin your most used apps on the taskbar, you can access them using Win+1, Win+2, etc.?

In browsers, you can press Ctrl+L for the location bar (URL) and Ctrl+K for the search box. Ctrl+Shift+T will restore your last closed tab if you closed it accidentally.

Menus can be accessed with Alt plus the underlined letter. The File menu is pretty much always Alt+F. Many dialogs have elements with underlined letters too. We should demand this on the Web as well, as it's kind of becoming a lost art with fewer and fewer people knowing about it. It only takes an accesskey attribute!

I assume that banning all robocalls requires new legislation, whereas the regulation mentioned here didn't.

Don't be too hard on yourself. English spelling is not exactly cooperative.

That assumes that they could have voted for anyone, when in fact the ruling elite preselects which candidates are even allowed to run, plus the media (also controlled by the ruling elite) make sure that you get no access to high-quality information about any candidate (least of all the “undesirable” ones).

No, but it makes us feel like we're contributing to the conversation.

That's still rein.

Right! So the two questions this raises to me are:

  • How does our own current crisis compare to those crises that caused those systemic shifts? Are we there yet?
  • When our own crisis come to a head and shit goes down fast, what will the next system be?

The jurors are heros. Let's make sure nothing happens to them.

Not really tonight, but yesterday I finished the language puzzle game Chants of Sennaar. Highly recommend!

I don't expect him to come up with anything new. He'll just repeat the same old things. Biden is on a witch hunt against him and the court system is corrupt and all that. He's found his favorite tune I think
