A friend of mine, back when we got stoned a lot, had an idea that language, or words, are magic. Stringing together incantations to share thoughts is a neat way of thinking about it. Especially because we’re just jello trapped in a mecha made of bone and meat. It’s surprising there’s not more hallucinations to be honest.

Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key “shortcut” via ~/.XCompose it’d still be more work than what I’m doing already.

Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you’d probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I’ve been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

I was already on Mastodon by just having a Vivaldi (the chromium browser) account, and it’s just lovely I’ve spent most of the day setting up lemmy, even though I joined feddit.dk 2 years ago, it’s only just now I’m taking it seriously.
And, while not related to the fediverse per se, I switched to linux a year ago.
The only service that’s hard to drop/switch away from is Youtube imo.

Like @prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, there’s a flatpak PS4 emulator that makes it trivial to apply the patch, as demonstrated here.
