Sometimes I wonder why things are more complicated than they have to be. I have donated to Gamers Outreach in the past, multiple times, so I obviously receive their newsletter. I also follow some VTubers, some are great musicians, some voice actors, some are just entertaining and happen to play the niche of games I enjoy watching on the side. Some are, according to my wife, "absolutely unhinged and need to be kept away from children" (one of them she said that about is a mother of four). (Note from wife: I do not remember saying that, but he does indeed enjoy his vtubers on the slightly unhinged side!)
It has been nearly 6 years since I last made any significant changes to my video call and conference setup. Back then I ditched the Logitech Brio (which sometimes showed odd behavior on macOS) and got an HDMI-USB adapter and a Canon DLSR camera. While this setup might be a bit overkill, it worked really well and the video quality was great.
The last week was a bit chaotic. Our dog Triss had TPLO surgery, so my days mostly consisted of holding her paw in the morning, working while Jean holds her paw, and then going to sleep. But I could sneak some fun project time in and started implementing autocomplete in my shell. Which is not even remotely complete, but it works for paths, which is something.
Do you ever think about what exactly happens when you press the cursor left or arrow left key in a terminal? What happens when you press arrow up? What when you press the letter "e"? Well, raw mode in a terminal will make you think about all of this and much more. In the famous words of any Souls game: "beware, despair ahead".
Remember how six months ago we made fun of most companies during their CES keynote by counting how often the word AI was used? Want to play the same game with Apples WWDC keynote? I would strongly advise against making it a drinking game though, the alcohol poisoning would land you in a hospital.
