  • I’m in the exact same situation, however the right shift key broke, and activates randomly. This laptop only ever moved between a cupboard and a desk, without the tiniest bump, but after a couple months of very light use the shift key breaks. I now have to have sticky keys enabled permanently.

    Also the only way to enable sticky keys on the login screen is to triple click the power button. You would thing they could just put a button for the accessibility accessibility menu next to the one for the keyboard layout switcher, but no.
















  • I used waydroid for whatsapp, though any android emulator will probably work. To create the account, there was an option to verify a phone number by sending a text message (to a dumb phone with a burner sim card in my case). I use whatsapp web to read and send messages, and only have to open waydroid every few months to sign-in again.


  • I’ve convinced them all to use matrix with me. For some reason they still use Skype with each other.

    Also it sounds like you still use facebook? In which case doesn’t that make you the boomer of this comment section? I don’t see why you would use a public social platform to communicate with your family - that’s what messaging services are for. Also what’s wrong with SMS? It’s literally just another messaging service, built into phones by default.

    also also if SMS is for boomers.

    and people’s parents are likely to be boomers.

    does it not make sense that people will use SMS to communicate with their parents?

    something something something I win.
