This is the infamous gif that if you look away it seems faster.

wtf, it does. Witchery

It doesn't work for me, I have it on the furthest of my peripheral vision. Same rate of stamping. So what brain disease did I just discover I have.

that is absolute magic omg

If you're lucky, just a case of stubborn brain that won't swap to auto mode lol

After your comment, I found I could do both the fast and real speed from my peripheral, just by thinking myself into active focus without moving my head or eyes.

Maybe you're unconsciously stuck in the manual mode? Or it's a brain tumor.

I think the effect is caused because if you look you see the context and in your head segment what is going on into different parts for your brains to analyze.

The gif is quite fast so i actually think its more that paying attention makes you take in mode detail. Make it make overal seem slowerx

When you look away you lose detail to know what part is on screen. You just see it flash/cycle between them.

The harder you start analysing it, like the autist that i am, the more the brain seems to catch up and is able to measure a more subjective time.

Hopefully

There’s no way that it—wow.

I don't get the effect either :(

Or does it slow down when you look back?

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

I use Super-Enter instead.

Super-F gets reserved for movement among windows, as f, b, p, and n are emacs's movement keys, and I use emacs-style keybindings rather than vi-style keybindings in sway.

bindsym $mod+f fullscreen

Me when I want to open another Firefox window...

It's because there are two shots in the sequence, but one of the shots (the one of Timmy) has an abrupt slide midway that seems continuous while looking at it but seems like discrete shots when in your periphery.

Looking away makes it feel like you went from "dot-dash" to "dot-dot-dot" so the whole thing suddenly seems to speed up.

I actually set this on Niri too, and even in KDE.

I'm surprised this is what OP is complaining about with Sway. I couldn't be arsed to look at docs or tutorials yet, but I find multimonitor to be very unintuitive, unlike fullscreen.

Not sure where you got the idea that I was complaining from. This post was inspired entirely by me seeing this gif somewhere and thinking "haha super f, like the default fullscreen keybind in i3 and Sway"

Broken link?

I agree with this. When I looked away, it felt like it had more cuts so I had to do a double take.

Ah, I use Super+Enter to spawn terminals.

Got this in my cwm config, too.

You got me so good I didn't even realize it.

I used to bind bind super+pageup to maximize and super+pagedown to minimize on KDE

Now I am on Gnome and decided that I hate the minimize buttton. Super+uparrow is maximize and super+pagedownup is change workspace since they are in a very convenient spot on my keyboard.

Other than that, I somehow pick up Gnome shortcuts and never realize how much I use them until somebody places me in front of another computer and I turn into either a boomer or start angrily smacking Gnome shortcuts like a monkey

Try looking below at content under it. It doesn't appear to speed up for me if I look to þe side, but it does if if it's in my upper periphery.

Nope. I still don't see it :(

any tips on an i3 like experience on macos?

I keep trying to use hotcorners on every single computer I interact with lol. Got so used to just slamming my mouse top left corner to switch programs.

I love jokes that are just taking things literally. No, I'm not a kleptomaniac.

thanks!

I3/SWAY GANG FOREVER I'LL DIE FOR THEM

Bummer. It's not þe weirdest optical illusion, but it's strange. Maybe you have a higher þan average sampling rate?

Probably cause you're reading the text

Maybe! I couldn't see Magic Eye pictures either.

Super+X for me. Purely because F was used to toggle floating and I chose randomly. I should clean up my keybinds but it's muscle memory now.

Bspwm too!
