We have both Linux and Windows machines in my team. We do all the work in Linux, and register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

I like GNOME. I make it look good and provide a great workflow.

Maybe Vanilla OS will be of interest?

I think that wad the premise, yeah.

I really enjoy the split spacebars. I use those for layers: hold for a navigation layer on one, for some UI and function keys on the other. With the remapping software Keyd. If the split spacebars are not a thing for you, then I’m inclined to think the Shinobi is nicer, given the palmrest and sound profile.

I never noticed any issues.

But getting anywhere on the lower track will kill infinitely many people. You cannot kill finitely many people on the lower track. Well, unless you derail at exactly the first. On the upper track, a stop at any point will have killed only finitely many.

“Eventually” on the densely packed track - even if almost instant - means uncountably many deaths. On the upper track, any eventual stop will result in only finitely many deaths.

If the leading wheels are allowed to continue any interval down the original track, uncountably infinitely many people die.

Half the reason I root is to get rid of that bloody bar on Pixel. Poor Samsung users!

Nope, just a new logo on an existing key.

Quite the transformer ;)

Can’t you disable the touchpad in BIOS?

A very interesting read, and really cool looking! I’d really like to try the keycaps in v. 0.3!

I’m curious about this point:

With square keys, each key has eight neighbours, but the diagonal neighbours are about 1.4 times further away than orthogonal ones and therefore harder to reach for the same finger.

Say I arrange square keys in columns with a 0.5u offset. Then each key also only has six neighbors. I wonder how that compares distance-wide to hexagonal keys.

Edit: the Klacker BS does this, but offsets the rows instead.

How do you set up a Firefox search bar, if you don’t mind?

Feedly works well fire me.

You’re welcome :)

I’d say whatever else, go for hotswap with MX switches. You’ll try it, learn, and can replace your switches easily and quite cheaply.

Switches make a huge difference. Being stuck with ones you don’t really like because you didn’t get a hotswap board would really be a shame.

I think that’s a lot about personal preference. Do you enjoy your machine? That you can’t repair it? That you can’t easily take your OS with you one to a machine from another manufacture? Maybe you don’t care. I do. I think Linux gives you a lot of freedom, but if you don’t need or want it, I don’t think there is a reason to change. I mean, apart from the whole Apple-being-a-big-coorporation-that-actively-hinders-reparability issue that one might care about from a societal and environmental perspective.

Maybe you could get all the same stuff you need for development in Linux, and a lot more freedom to boot.

I apologize that this comes off a bit hostile. I am a bit hostile. I am also sorry for it!

The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,

• I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
