Reminds me of that little girl who was eviscerated by a drainage hole or something. She sat down in a shallow pool and it sucked her entrails out of her asshole. Survived seven months or something. Ten? But eventually she succumbed to her condition. She was like 10 years old or so. So sad. It was a horrible read.

Can't even take this seriously.

It's make-believe—it doesn't need to make sense.

Well that's just cruel.

I am gaming happily on Linux though. Using both Epic and Steam. 👍

😂💀🎯

Everything reminds me of her.

Happy to share! 🙂 And I fully agree, while programming I'm not noticing any difference at all, or at least negligible difference at worst.

I do notice I'm a little slower to reply to messages than I'm used to, when chatting in Slack and such, but it's fine. Nothing is so urgent that it needs to arrive in seconds—at least not yet.

But in my opinion the single biggest thing is the split thing. The way you can open up your chest (and your desk area) and sit straight with both of your arms straight forward. It's like magic compared to before.

I grew up on ISO until I learned programming, at which point I switched to a US layout for programming and English, and my language layout for typing in that language.

But ISO is honestly just so clumsy in my opinion. The return key is YUUUGE and the number of keys just makes it too tight for me. Less is more.

I'm using a Colemak-DH US layout with the Voyager, and it's so comfortable compared to QWERTY. I'm still not up to my old speed on regular keyboards, but getting there.

It definitely wasn't easy to start with. I went in the deep end immediately with the new layout, and the column-staggered shape. (The Voyager is not ortholinear by the way.) I went from about 110–117 words per minute to about 20 WPM, at first. Yes, twenty.

But a lot of hours have been spent in front of monkeytype.com and the likes and I'm now back up to about 40–50 WPM while free typing and about 70–80 when using practicing tools.

It's really a balance between speed and comfort for me at this point. My muscle memory is destroyed with old keyboards as well, both with QWERTY, and especially the row-staggeredness of common keyboards. There's just no way anymore. Those neutral pathways have been replaced. But I'm happy to take the plunge for the comfort and joy of typing.

Others aren't ready to sacrifice the speed though. And that's fine. I could've also just gone with a Voyager and not switched layouts. Then I probably would've been flying at this point. But I would be less comfortable.

I love this reasoning. Perfectly agree. Must be so unnecessary for large stations. Although I guess this does open up for smaller broadcasters to open news rooms.

But yeah, it would sure put me off. I wasn't to see a human speaking to me.

Okay cool, thanks so much for the ping, and answer!

I've never in my life had any USB cord or connector break on any device for maybe 20 years. Only when lending it to someone else did one connector break, once, and they dropped the thing while connected.

I feel like there's two camps within USB. People who fucking rip their cord out and shove it in again—impatient people I guess. And then there's people who are careful with their shit.

Maybe a hot take. 🤷‍♂️

While I agree that it's not a great idea, you're coming off a little harsh here IMO. 🙄

Interesting read! I like my ZSA Voyager, personally. 😁🖐️👌 Very comfortable, very (and easily) customizable. Split, column-staggered. It's the end-game for me, for now. We'll see what ZSA brings out in the next generation.

The nearest store is about 200 m away, or about 30–40 seconds away by bike. 🤷‍♂️

3 km is quite the distance to carry a big load of groceries in 30°C weather, yes indeed. That's not being lazy.

Is it better than doas?
