Note that my (implied) emphasis is on experience. If the experience is what is important, convenience isn't actually what creates desire paths. Instead it's the experience of making a personal choice to increase efficiency, of joining a club of renegades who brave the path less traveled, etc.... So maybe allowing for that experience in the managed environment is another way of limiting desire paths.

I wonder if the experience of 'shortcut' is part of the motivation, so that as soon as you've established a path, what constitutes 'shortcut' also changes. I'd be interested to know if curved paths were more desire path-resistant, because they appeal to an intuition about adjusting (and therefore optimizing) course.

If you ever talk to someone confused by this, maybe ask them to lightly push the front magnet in the direction it's trying to go.

The inner monologue is thinking by 'hearing' your own voice 'speaking' in your mind. It's the mental equivalent of literally talking to yourself.

Do people have a non metaphorical inner monologue where they physically hear thoughts?

Yes, in the sense that they hear themselves 'voicing' out their own thoughts. If you have the ability to form images in your mind, it's like that, but with sound.

I don't know if there is any, but I just came across this talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfWjhEWyblo&t=15868s

This language is a bit concerning

They won me over since Sunshine on Fedora was a hassle to install and gave me corrupted graphics. Wouldn't be surprised if Fedora's codec-hell had something to do with it. On Bazzite everything I needed was preinstalled and worked out of the box.

Additional meta-analysis confirmed that left-handers are overrepresented among artists and musicians – but not architects, as is often claimed. Expanding their investigation beyond those fields, the team re-analyzed data from a large study drawing upon U.S. government surveys with information on occupations and handedness. The data included nearly 12,000 individuals in more than 770 professions, which were ranked by the creativity each required. By this measure combining “originality” and “inductive reasoning,” physicists and mathematicians ranked alongside fine artists as the most creative jobs. When considering the full range of professions, the researchers found, left-handers were underrepresented in those that required the most creativity.

THANK YOU

This is the first time I've seen this take upvoted.

 
 

I'm trying to reassign the side buttons on my logitech superlight to keyboard input. However, the side buttons default to to back/forward.

The settings window for reassigning mouse input is in a 'forwarded' position, so clicking the 'back' button on the mouse results in the settings window moving back a menu level instead of reassigning the button.

The 'forward' mouse button can be reassigned, though, as there is nothing 'ahead' in the menu.

I've previously had luck reassigning the side buttons using input-remapper, but I'm on tumbleweed which doesn't have input-remapper in its repositories.

Is there a way around this UI quirk in KDE that will allow me to reassign the 'back' button on my mouse?

Or have any other tumbleweed users had luck reassigning both mouse side buttons on KDE?

One other approach I can think of is if it's possible to disable/supress the default forward/back behavior in KDE.
