Same. Pinky/ring finger RSI lead me to split ergos for this same reason, landing on the Moonlander by ZSA. I've got Space, Bk Space, Shift/(, and Alt on left thumb cluster; Enter, Tab, Shift/), and Esc/Ctrl on the r

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I really like hot-swap keyboards. But you're 100% correct. It's hard to test so many switches when ordering a batch can be easily $40+ USD. I've found with my moonlander I can get by with

I was tempted by the Ergodox, but the adjustable thumb cluster seemed nice. Owning the Moonlander made me realize that making the thumb cluster part of the tenting mechanism was really dumb all things considered. Any major complaints on the

Agreed. The only one I want "connected" is my washer/dryer, and for that I only want the damn thing to be able to remind me it's done! Things like that is where I wish local-only home automation had become more prevalent

I wonder if that percentage of tech-savvy "elderly" is going up over time. I know I remember hearing that about anything computer related 20 years ago, but many of the people in the upper age ranges now lived with computers for a

IIRC, the patriarchal surname (i.e. mother's father's name and father's father's name) is carried on. I believe it's also tradition that a spouse doesn't change their name but adopts a qualifier, so they keep t

Kinesis has a new line coming out later this year, the Advantage 360: https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/ Fully split with the key wells, and a Kinesis board to boot.

Small world! I too have a Moonlander, with Boba u4 switches and some Amazon special SA keycaps. I'm tempted by the Advantage 360 or the Glove80 for their curved keywells, but I really want hot-swap without needed to desolder anything.

Doesn't always work, but when it does, makes you feel like a hacker! I always tried it first, and if needed would reach out to the company afterwards. Had one company call me after tweaking the form in Chrome and ask how I managed to p

I'm right there with you on the RSI front. But I do see GP's point on some of the audiophile feel, given the number of people who focus on the acoustics and appearance of their KB. What KB are you using? I've got a Moonlander

So I feel there's two sides to the hobby, the aesthetic side and the function/feel side. There are plenty of people who customize their KBs for aesthetics first and plenty who focus on function/feel. And I think the number of

That drives me insane. At one point I ended up having to argue with many service reps over a toll pass that I was unable to pay. The online payment site wouldn't allow me to access it due to being in the Carribean, in Puerto Rico actua

Names are such a culturally different thing, and it's interesting to see how software grows around the culture it's written in and how walking into it from a different culture can feel. Anglo-centric view here (given that's w

Hell, getting things to understand barrios when I lived in PR.... Yes, this address looks like it has two cities on the address. Nope, that's how it's supposed to be. Or the hassle of trying to figure out whether a website was gon

Lived in Puerto Rico for a while a few years back, and stuff off the beaten path (and plenty of things in town as well) wouldn't have an "address number", but instead would have a "position" based off kilometer mark

Ah, I might have misspoke. I don't mean it took stronger force to press the key, but the resulting feel of the "click" was stronger. Like a stronger thump from the click sound. But either way, glad you're enjoying your Z

Because I'm not beholden to your ideals. GPL is tantamount to a parasite, infecting everything it touches, regardless of the wishes of those who'd make use of the GPL'd software. I was a contributor to FOSS until I had to mak

My "why didn't I think of this earlier" tip for the Moonlander is to associate the .bin files you download from configurator with the Wally app, so you can just download and launch flashing from your browser. Also, pair that

Howdy fellow Moonlander user! Drive-by suggestion for Boba u4's. It's very much a personal feel, but in my head to head comparison of Zilents and Boba u4's on a Moonlander, I found the Boba to be more to my liking. IMO, there

But why would a GPL app need to force GPL on a plugin? That seems to me like a perfectly reasonable boundary between the two applications. If I wanted to leverage OBS for example and introduce my own plugin that made use of a closed-source

If they offered a light version that was JUST ad-free YT, I'd subscribe in a heartbeat. I already pay for two other music services and have no interest another one so the $20/mo is too steep for my blood (for the family plan). YT

Puberty blocking is not chemical castration. By your argument chemotherapy is assassination by poison and setting a broken bone is assault.

The treatment administered to minors is reversible. Studies show that gender-affirming treatments and care can reduce thoughts of suicide and self-harm. No one is pushing these treatments on unwilling minors. To take away peoples' righ

My last two positions have followed the exact opposite philosophy, and I prefer their take. The general consensus at these places was that getting to the information faster is preferable. We have a team chat channel for a reason, ask their.

That's a truck-load of bullshit. Texas Gov. Abbot is pushing an anti-LGBTQ+ agenda in the open. He and his pals are flat-out pushing anti-trans agendas that accuse parents of children seeking gender-affirming treatment of child abuse.

How often do any of those subjects require instant perfect recall of knowledge/topic/concept with high stakes? That's my criterion on whether external references should be allowed in tests. A surgeon should know their special
