  • I don’t need a 7 row keyboard, 6 is enough

    I don't care about the number of rows, specifically, it's the particular layout that 7-row keyboards have. The point of a 7-row keyboard is having the text nav keys arranged the same as a desktop keyboard, like so:

    Versus this clusterfuck:

    I use those nav keys constantly and completely by feel. The very specific placement they have on a 7-row is critical to productivity without having to constantly fuck around with the mouse/trackpoint/trackpad. 6-row keyboards are dogshit.

  • The number of automotive interfaces that we need to start strictly regulating because of trendy bullshit is getting fucking stupid.

    A car door handle should be a mechanical device that's plainly obvious to anyone who's used a door handle, like, ever.

    If phones are too dangerous to use while driving, then so is a fucking tablet glued to the dashboard.

    I shouldn't need a camera to use reverse, just quit adding blind spots.

    A steering wheel should be just that — a wheel.

    Blinker control should be a stalk pointing to the driver's side door and self cancel.

    And so on...

  • Governments should either be operating their own systems for this or, hell I don't know, why not just spin up a their ready-to-go Mastodon instance or something else in the fediverse not subject to the delirious whims of a petulant muskrat born with daddy's money?

  • I'm mostly read-only on reddit via RSS on a few subs I follow. As loathe as I am to admit it, reddit still has a massive user base with a lot of active niche discussions that lemmy just can't replicate yet.
