  • To be pedantic, keyboard shortcuts aren’t hacks. That’s the intended use of the thing, and long lists of keybaord shortcuts exist so that people can find the ones that work for them and use them. Just because most people don’t do it doesn’t make it a hack.

    My favorite keyboard shortcut is Super/Windows key and spacebar switches keyboard languages. That’s not a hack, though.

    Closer to a “hack” is going into an android phone with ADB and disabling bloatware manually.


  • I know this was from a week ago, but I just saw something relevant.

    There’s a rarely used Ancient Greek word, κακοθερής, which means “unsuitable for summer.” Most modern people view this as saying there’s a word that means you’re “bad at summer.”

    In Modern Greek, the word summer is καλοκαίρι - a compound word that is basically “beautiful weather” used as one word. I couldn’t agree more. So I’ll just go join my fellow olive oil enjoyers in worshiping the magic of the season.
