Agreed. It’s really annoying to be honest.

Life without a car is not an exotic luxury at all, far from it, and all your points are just proving the point. Cars are a luxury, from the amount of taxes paid towards car infrastructure to the social costs associated with “the car culture” (insurance, public health, climate change, etc.). There are countless examples of urban and rural areas where alternative modes of transportation (LRT, bus, bicycle, ferries) are the norm and where cars are barely necessary/used. Not every place in the world is Anywhere, USA…

Yep, same here. Discovered I was stereoblind quite late as well as I thought it was the norm and my brain just got used to it.

Second that. I do see the difference at work where it's impossible to install Firefox and/or extensions; it's god awful to browse the web without it.

I even installed it on my parents laptop and they never complained that ads suddenly started appearing.

Also, and it's striking to me that there never was a crackdown on this, but in a lot of countries, you cannot call yourself an engineer unless you have an engineering degree from a vetted higher-ed institution and are part of your provincial/state engineers' association.

For example, in N.S., your job title cannot contain the word engineer unless you're registered as an engineer with Engineers Nova Scotia, the provincial regulatory body. And to get the EIT status (engineer in training, the provisional period before becoming a professional engineer), you must hold a CEAB-accredited undergraduate degree. So, software engineers rarely exist and it's mostly software developers in N.S.

Gonna give this a shot! Looks promising for SharePoint sites that are internal.

I think it should, yes. I'm going to try as soon as I can find my raspberry pi buried in the garage.

It should work anywhere a USB keyboard works, realistically.

Damned, I just purchased a new keyboard with a 2.4 GHz dongle because my Bluetooth keyboard cannot with GRUB and I got tired of having to plug it in every time I rebooted.

What a cool little project. I might build a couple of these for the KVMs at work.

Thought exactly the same!

And it seems to be totally generic, just 7 digits, and switching every 10 seconds instead of 30.

Bitwarden can import them too.
