  • This page on jperm.net has videos in order of complexity, which, by itself, is a nice resource to use in a traditional CFOP progression. However, I like to use a PDF made by the same guy in the page, which I’ll link here because for some reason he doesn’t bother to make it more clickable or explicit on the page.

    The way I use this document is by looking for alternate solutions if I find that my intuitive solution is not very effective (more than 8 moves per pair, more than one rotation per pair or one rotation in the middle of the solution for that pair).

    Edit: I should note that I’ve discovered a number of what people call “F2L tricks” and algorithms that are not listed on the PDF. However, I see this document as a great resource and starting point.



  • Medications are made for people. You are a person. You are deserving of care and medication.

    I’m sorry you are feeling this way. I know it’s hard to be understanding with yourself, especially after experiencing rejection, but you shouldn’t take the blame. We, as a society, have the resources to care for everyone. It’s not your fault specifically that these resources are distributed poorly.

    Other people with disabilities in my life have expressed similar concerns to yours, so I guess I can say this is not an unfamiliar topic to me. Things I have discussed with these people are, for example, that our civilisation can and should be aimed at supporting and including everyone. Otherwise, it would be the same as arguing that a bat is more worthy of living in the forest than a rat, because it can fly and the rodent can’t. Which is, of course, absurd.





  • I’ve gone a long stretch without cubing (think a bit less than a decade) and, while it was refreshing coming back to the hobby, with new hardware and seeing it becoming even more popular, I was forced to confront the fact that I don’t have much disposable time to practice.

    While this is argument enough, I think, to prioritise focused practice, I generally find that the opposite becomes even more tempting: I generally just do a bunch of mindless solves, and while I do see myself improving, I doubt I’ll improve as fast as I could. It’s probable, even, that I’m reaching a skill ceiling for mindlessly solving.

    I don’t know what this is, maybe just a cubing-related rant about getting older.


  • Eternity no celular (98% do tempo) e photon no desktop.

    Não me oponho a deixar o photon como interface padrão, mas, por outro lado, penso como seria isso a longo prazo, dado que, supostamente, vem aí uma atualização da lemmy-ui que vai melhorar bastante a interface e, em qualquer momento, o photon pode parar de ser desenvolvido, visto que não é diretamente associado ao desenvolvimento do backend do lemmy em si.
