  • It used to be button 10 (also counting 4 scrollwheel directions and click) of my Elecom trackball. I had written a small C program reading the device node and writing the events just of that to stdout, then piping that to a tclsh script (so I could change it easily and it’s still super fast for gaming) which did something in X. Horrible. But then they added support for more buttons to everything (kernel, X) and now I can just map it in games, like any other.







  • lol, ty, but I lost several earlier accounts when their instances died.

    PS: there is a text above the server list. something like it doesn’t matter what instance you choose. that was terribly misleading. if you don’t want to make a new account every coupla months, you have to choose one of the top 5 biggest instances









  • This is missing the important nuance, that the allies just didn’t want certain weapons to be used on russian homeland. AFAIK it was always okay for Ukraine to use other weapons (eg. their own drones), which they did successfully, many times.

    I suspect the allies didn’t want russia to be forced to develop better countermeasures against western weapon systems or didn’t want pics of German tanks on their way to moscow again. It could cause a lot of trouble for everyone.
