And to pick up an SSD and some cat6. Oops.

Lol. You don’t have to buy there, they just had one or two alive boards on display at mine so I went to try them

Never have. Do you find it hard to switch back and forth if you ever have to use laptop keyboard / somebody else’s computer?

I didn’t read much on the subject, but I have tried and owned keyboards of several sizes. At first I thought I couldn’t live without function keys and a numpad, but you stop missing them real soon once you get used to customizing layers. So I bought a TKL (80% size) board and loved it. Then I started experimenting with smaller boards and weird arrangements, and drew the line at ortho layout – not only was it not teaching me to be a better typist, it also felt like it was bad for my wrists. I don’t have carpal tunnel or RSI and hadn’t had any issues with normal layouts so I wasn’t looking for anything ergonomic until I tried a friend’s Alice keyboard. It just clicked, I felt like I could actually keep my hands on the home row, there were few enough keys I could reach them all without looking, but enough that normal typing didn’t require weird chords and stuff.

Try some things out at Micro Center or whatever and see what you like

Tented Alice layout is so comfy, and much easier for my fat fingers to learn than an ortho.

STALKER 2 is actually quite enjoyable and has great world building, pretty solid story, and a lot of the loveable jank.

Apple is the man. Google is the man. The men claiming they are the men are just little pocket puppets.

I believe Bluetooth is always on with the Meta glasses, at least the last gen. They offload everything to the phone. I got a pair as a work gift and only use them as sunglasses with headphones built-in so I can listen to podcasts on walks.

Are the free limits suitable for light media streaming by a few users? I’m currently running a simple setup with Caddy reverse proxy and port knocking, but my ISP doesn’t do static IP and they change my address every few months.

The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.

Matrix voice and video chat is sadly under-equipped for the only kind of thing I want (team gaming and screen share). They are working on moving to a new realtime media transport but until it manifests I can’t see it as an alternative. I’ve read about Revolt and some others but I don’t see anything that seems capable. Happy to be corrected on this!

EDIT: it looks like Element Call is more or less ready, might try setting up a server this weekend.

Dropped the plot a ways back, too

I have the right “space bar” on this board mapped to Right Shift, plus a lot of the characters usually accessed with shift, like the symbols above the numbers, are actually on different layers.

Do it! To tell the truth though I’m having trouble getting comfortable typing on it, still feels awkward to me. Had a thought that it would be cool to use as a super macro pad in addition to my main keeb, and I could hand-paint some keycaps for it.

Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

I’m not making an argument for the technology or the veracity of the claims, I was literally just pointing out the misunderstanding.

3% false negatives, not false positives.

I’m actually surprised at how little they spend on lobbying, even with the recent uptick. It must be the other thing, you know, our representatives are shareholders.

Wait, why? Is the TV spying on me any more than my phone, every app I use, my desktop OS, every website I visit, all of my smart home devices, my car, my bank, traffic cameras, and my bottom left molar?

Can’t I just slap a PiHole on my home network and pretend I’ve done something about it?

I meant to reply to the parent comment
