there's some research tying gut flora to depression and plenty of other disorders.

however, you lost me at using "interestingly enough" while talking about yourself

you can disable tabs closing automatically or setting them as inactive in Firefox settings.

it's currently in Beta. used to be available as a hidden toggle in Stable, but not anymore.

and I'm apparently a famous Tiktoker and Youtuber.

and yet it's been compressed to hell and back like it's from 2013

yeah, and it's crazy how conditioned you can get by consumerism. I bought the Fairphone 4 soon after its release, and the moment I got it, I pretty much stopped following any smartphone news (before that, I used to be a frequent /r/Android poster and commenter a few years ago, and I've always been up to date on the latest releases and features), as I was perfectly content with what I got, and knew that with the extended warranty I was set for the next 5 years.

but the very moment the 5 was announced and the 4 wasn't the Latest Bestest Thing, I started being tempted to upgrade. no particular reason to it, as the biggest change would be an OLED screen and that just isn't that big deal for me, except for the promise of a bigger newer number. I never upgraded and over three and a half years later, the 4 is still good enough for me, but something's telling me the announcement of the 6 will be tempting me again, haha. I'll probably try and wait for the 7, though.

you're welcome and/or I'm so sorry.

have you tried keyd? I only use it for a few very simple remaps, but it's got tons of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in.

yup! that did the job for me.

it's like making the car audio play wind whooshing noises when accelerating to make it feel faster.

FYI, if you use code format instead of the quote, the entire text in the box is displayed in one line, so people reading it have to scroll the tiny box horizontally - and in my case when I'm trying to do that on desktop, the scroll bar obscures most of the text:

with quote formatting the text wraps lines when necessary:

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

they offer some optimisations to the kernel and the packages that are supposed to yield a tiny bit better performance.

an incredibly small thing that rubs me the wrong way more than it probably should about their setup is that they set Plasma animation speeds to much higher values than the stock Plasma desktop uses. sure, it could be just a part of their customisation tweaks the same way using fish as the default shell is, but it feels like a cheap trick to reel in the "I installed it on my desktop and it's soooo much snappier" review kind of people. like, if your work is as good as you claim, you shouldn't need to artificially make the improvements seem bigger than they really are.
