#4Perhaps the only thing other than a certain leviathan that I loathe in Linux, is the touchpad. I have butchered laptops as a result of touchpad induced madness. I've tried synclient and other tweaks to no sufferable avail. My present laptop has the touchpad removed by pliers. I used the term "madness" sincerely. I think the present situation might be eligible for a place in the wiki for Unethical Human Experimentation. Of course, Linux is not entirely to blame; the physical quality has declined immensely for most touch/clickpads.
Perhaps someday I'll experience playing go without a mouse and risk of hypertension.
I'm typically not one to use the term - but godspeed, in this case!

Ahh, the ol' conversion funnel. Applies any time you want to separate someone from their money.

If a touchpad does this much to you I'm sorry to inform you may have a more serious problem than the touchpad.
Sleep, diet, exercise, and meditation.

Under which circumstances is disabling it on a software level insufficient?

An emotional one.

#9Off topic but did anyone else notice that this entire blog post is actually hosted on a site called amplenote? With uMatrix enabled, the wordpress blog just shows an empty post with a broken iframe. Is this a common architecture? What's the purpose?

I've set easy keyboard shortcuts to enable/disable the touchpad, and that has been working for me. But I understand how you feel, the palm rejection is especially terrible, no matter how I try to tweak it.
