  • Fuck, you have forced me to look that up and there is indeed a rule34 of miata the car.

  • There's no owl. It really is that dead simple. This isn't windows where everything is super complicated, unintuitive, and hard to do.

  • The disconnect from reality is insane. They completely ignore why people got mad and make up imaginary reasons for why they got the hate while painting themselves like some hero trying to stand for us but getting betrayed in return. It's both hilarious and sad. I hope that they will have time for self reflection once they get off the threadiverse and become a better person but I don't have much expectations given how deep they are into the delusion.

  • Welcome to the threadiverse, where

    an instance will have ideology

    a platform software developer will have ideology

    a front-end client developer will have ideology

    Let's not forget about community mods having an ideology as an another layer to that.

  • There's a fucking official app for prayers?!

  • Lovely. Encountered this post while eating and as I'm about to be full.

  • I won a 100+ USD giveaway once a few years ago from a company of a niche program that I like. To participate I had to make a twitter post about the program, what I like about it, and their current sale. As I didn't have twitter I created a quick account, wrote a whatever post that literally no one would have seen, and then submitted my entry. I ended up being one of the 5 winners. Lol

  • Study, study, study, study, study, study!

  • Make that 10. <3

  • Similar reaction to memes about modern software being slow and bloated where linux users in the comments have a smug circlejerk about using linux like it magically changes how the same damn programs and webpages run. I find that very cringe and I say that as a NixOS btw user myself.

  • Yes.

  • Okay, that put things into scale for me.

  • Ouroboros is ouroboros.

  • Is it published anywhere?

  • Okay, before I knew it I had wrote a whole essay going over my plans and whatnot but deleted it after realising I went off the rails and that I'm not even close to finishing.

    The relevant tldr is that it wouldn't work in practice and layer shifting is not the issue but the frequency of it is.

    Also yeah, simbol layers are a thing. And because it's just for convenience I don't plan to adapt the layout to work with all keyboards as glove80 does the job with it's thumb cluster (which only half of is comfortable enough to reach with my hands).

  • I don't have much to recommend since I dove straight into enthium but qwerty is just such a bad unhealthy (aka unergonomic) layout that choosing any of the mainstream alt layouts will be objectively better for you and any system shold have them. Here are some general pointers though: https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/alt-layouts/#which-alt-keyboard-layout-should-i-learn and https://cyanophage.github.io/index.html

    The most low hanging fruit would be having the more common characters on home row. After that the improvements become exponentionally harder to get and more opinioniated since everything is a tradeoff of sorts and preferences come into play as well.

    < rant> I may know significantly more on the topic in a few months since I'm trying to design my own 1-handed layout/layers for one split keyboard half for convenience and/through independency from needing to use two hands to do anything on the system. I find it super hard to find keyboard layouts meant for one hand and even those I find are overwhelmingly lowballed garbage that simply split existing layouts like qwerty and slap a mirror layer key on it completely disregarding any and all unique needs for such a workflow. Like, ~1/3rd of your key presses should not be spent on shifting between mirror layer in a situation where efficiency is more important than ever since you are already giving up 1 hand and half the keys when opting into such a layout. There are many people that actually have only one hand and don't do it just for convenience so I'd have assumed that there would be something well designed and battletested like enthium (which is 2 handed for clarification) simply because it would be an accessibility thing but apparently not. So now I will have to study ergonomics of keyboard layouts from start to finish and then some to cover the additional unique contraints of one handed layouts. As far as my initial research went it doesn't seem like there are good layout analysers taking layers and layer switching into account which makes it even more complicated to work on such a layout. ;-;

    Regarding typing there also doesn't seem to be any controller centric virtual keyboards (or remappers) that optimise for text input speed and ergonomy on a controller. I use a basic system-level remapper to make the thumbsticks act as cursor and scrolling with the other keys be bound to given keys depending on a given workflow since sometimes I just want to relax and do something in a comfortable position but it's not apparengly a thing either. And those are just 2 of my multiple issues that are in my way of making my system feel juuuuuuust right to use. 🤬

  • I wish home row mods were people's default on top of touch typing. It's just peak comfort when combined with a layout that isn't QW***Y.
