Ukrainians: bring them in, don't need visas, can work and contribute to society

Other refugees: bring them in, don't allow them to work, then complain that they don't contribute to society... See the hypocrisy here?

Any day, now. Right? Right?

Como alguém que trabalhou do outro lado do muro (mundinho Microsoft com C# e Azure), considero que minha mudança para algo simples como Go foi um investimento em sanidade.

And there you have it - how I use the Stream Deck as a non-streamer. It's a very fun device with many possibilities, and perfectly suitable for non-streamers. If you can justify the cost, you should get one.

I think the Neo is more than enough for my usage scenario, but there's other models.

My last profile is for Vivaldi, and it's just my most used sites, nothing spectacular to it.

This app will be saved on your user's "Applications" folder, then you just need an Open action to open this file - done.

Could be simpler and supported via the plugin, but it's great that it works.

On the second page, there's some fanciness. I have shortcuts for my preferred playlists. Creating this was a bit of a discovery, but it's basically shortcuts I created with the Shortcuts app, to open the albums, and then I right-click the shortcut and select "add to dock". This creates an app!

For the Apple Music profile, I just use options the plugin make available, nothing fancy (yet):

- Buttons to control previous and next videos, play/pause, and volume. Those don't require window focus and it's honestly great.

All those profiles have a "home" button that takes me back to my default profile. The rest are options I want to use while watching videos (mostly YouTube):

- Buttons to go back or advance 10 seconds (it's just a Hotkey action for the left and right arrows, it requires focus in the window to work)

On my Profiles folder, I have some other profiles I created to make my life easier (we will explore them).

The Apps folder is not that special, has just the apps I use the most on my personal Mac. It also has a duplicate Center Window command, because I use it a lot and want to adjust app windows as soon as I open them.

The second page is not that interesting and I'm considering removing it. It has Some timers (that I never use) as well as brightness controls for the Stream Deck, and an option for Sleep.

- A multi action to use some keyboard shortcuts to almost maximize and center the current window (I use Rectangle for window management)
- A shortcut for my browser (Vivaldi)

On my Default Profile, I have the following shortcuts on the first page:

- A folder for my apps
- Another folder for my profiles
- Weather forecast for my current city, as well as the forecast for the next days, and the forecast for my hometown
- A shorcut for the emojis app on Mac

My approach on using icons is: I type what I'm searching for in the icon library search, and I go with the vibes. I use the GIF pack to add some sassiness, like on the "center window" command we're gonna explore soon.

First of all, I want to cover the list of plugins and icon packs I have installed:

I use the Apple Music and Weather plugins. The others are unused at the moment.

The icon packs I got from the marketplace: Neon Grids, Anaglyph, Entypo+, Hexaza, Animated GIF Pack, and WaveLink.
