Same experience here. I too bought Keychron M6 and have the same opinion, it feels like a supermarket trash device.

I now have 4 Logitech mice, two went through RMA for failing buttons, the other two failed outside of warranty period. I know that I can fix those myself, but I'm also too lazy to do it. I'm not buying another Logitech, but I also don't know what will I buy next time.

    European Java conferences (programming.dev)
     

    I am thinking about attending a Java related conference next year. Are there any European ones, preferably smaller and less intimidating, you can recommend to a newcomer? I'm currently going through JCON recordings but that one seems big. In the meantime I also plan to visit my local JUG meeting

    The context is that I'm a rather stereotypically shy and introverted software engineer, but I want to push myself a bit and try to make some real world connections with fellow. Maybe even speak at one someday. I've been working on improving myself for the past few years and I think it's time to pick up the pace and take this step.

    Anyone just losing their patience with stuff? Like can't focus on the stuff you watch/read? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social

    I can lock in into almost anything that interests me in any way and most things that just have to be done. The problem is always starting and not being pulled out of it by some distraction.

    Bingo of Awful IT Processes in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

    This. Sometimes it's enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.

    I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

    Rarely, but it happens.

    But I can't shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.

    Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.

    For best out of the box experience you may want to try Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg/), it will have pretty much everything included for gaming, except Microsoft Store as noted above. This system is harder to break by doing something stupid and has good documentation on their website.

    Alternatively you may try a more traditional "batteries included" distribution like Ultramarine Linux or Linux Mint.

    Alice-like TKL/80% keyboard (programming.dev)
     

    I'm pretty sure that something like this doesn't exist off the shelf, but I'll ask to be sure. Is there an off the shelf, Alice-like, ergonomic or split mechanical keyboard that retains all of the keys of an TKL/80% in their proper relative positions?

    I need a full set of full-size F keys, traditionaly arranged arrows/Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, both Ctrls, both Alts. Numpad either gone or attached to the left. Just the main block has to be angled like an Alice keyboard. The closest thing I've found is something referred to as "Sanwa Alice" on Aliexpress, but it does unfortunately have the Numpad.

    Is there anything that matches my description or do I have to go the full custom design route?
