There’s nothing high quality about Cherry switches. They’re just popular because literally no one else makes cheap linear “gaming” switches. For actual typing there are vastly superior choices. In descending order: Buckling springs (used or

Any kind of wrist “support” will severely limit your movement range. If you don’t slouch it should be easy to just bring the keyboard closer to your body, to the edge of the desk. I’ve made a sketch in case it helps: http://svgur

In a perfect world, I would limit the way speech can have consequences (at least as legislation goes) only to things that cause actual immediate harm. Which covers the fire thing. Now, we don’t of course live in a perfect world. There are o

Right I meant in comparison to Model F/M (rated for 100M btw ;)). I’m all for buying quality, but this seems excessive.

That’s crazy for a keyboard. Brand new old stock Model Fs go for half that.

If you have elbows on desk you are probably not sitting up straight. Anyway you are wrong, when the elbow is free you can put your weight into typing. Just try it. It’s a bit of a flick of the wrist for weak fingers and slight up and down m

If you print lies you harm your reputation and people stop believing you. Look at MSM in US. Nothing beyond that is required. To me this phrase, to “say something illegal”, is absurd. There is no magic word that you can say or write that wo

What I tried to say is that this recent trend of “no platforming” people and even earlier the idea that debating anyone somehow validates their opinion is forcing people with controversial opinions into this “screaming” position. More to yo

I believe free speech is sacrosanct and if you start chipping away from it even just a little, bad things follow. There can be no free society without free speech. The way to do away with hate is to shine upon it with the light of open disc

> Posture is a controversial subject. While it is undoubtedly important, there is a lot of pseudo-science built around it. Especially when it comes to linking posture and mindset. I don’t see a lot of exceptions to this rule. Generally,

There’s been a lot of talk about “nazis” in the media recently. Like A TON. And I didn’t see anyone in the media actually trying to talk with them. And yeah sure there are people that are maybe wrong and will not talk with you at all. But i

I don’t know anything about it. But just looking at this photo[1] it looks like some hipster bullshit. Gokhale’s techniques deal purely with posture and are immensely useful just to avoid or reduce any back pain. It’s just a way to sit or s

That’s quite a bold statement to make after the recent presidential election.

It’s not so much just mechanics as a state of mind. In my experience, if you keep looking at the ground you are in your head doubting yourself all the time, whereas just looking at other people prevents that and somehow gives you more confi

So you ask “Why?”, then you can show that person is an idiot when they have to defend that position. If they never have to defend their views then you admit their idea has merit by default.

I don’t want to sound like Apple but you are probably using it wrong. I’ve seen people get used to typing on flat chicklet laptop keyboards and then taking those habits over to the proper old style keyboard. An IBM keyboard is not meant for

Exactly! What good is a keyboard that can’t be used to bludgeon someone to death in case of an emergency :) If anyone thinks I exaggerate: https://youtu.be/4_qA5OZFJ1I?t=80

Does that include IBM Model F/M? You haven’t really typed until you’ve typed on the original clickity-clackity keyboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K5rGPJ9RjY

Someone writing about something they’re involved with or excited about on their personal blog is a “native ad” now? The article even contains a disclaimer.

I remember those times as well, but my recent experiences with new hardware on Linux have been rather positive. As long as you avoid hostile vendors like Realtek and NVIDIA everything should just work.
