with great sadness i had to retire my trusty Ergodox Infinity, but: new keeb! expect typos as i learn how to type again
(MoErgo Glove80)
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io
Many, many moons ago (when I still had a desktop computer at home), I had an ergo keyboard. My wife would use it (she had her own login) when I was traveling (which, at the time, was "all the time").
At the time, she had a significant Diet Coke habit. She pretty much never didn't have a can with her. One day, while working at my computer, she knocked her can of soda over …and into the keyboard. Things did not end well for the keyboard. Ultimately, it needed to be replaced (and she was banned from using that computer).
I've been working pretty much exclusively from laptops the past fifteen-plus years. I sorely miss having an ergo keyboard. My wrists sorely miss me having an ergo keyboard. Sadly, I no longer have a place to set one up.
Side-benefit of ergo keyboards: if you're working in a hot-desking environment, it's a great way to ensure that no one "borrows" your work-area. -
@molly0xfff wow! where… is the space bar? is there one?
Right thumb pad, lower row, far right.

@molly0xfff so, these look very pretty, I've used Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for many years now.
How does one know which style of these fancy keyboards would fit? How did you know you would like this concave shape instead of a regular tenting approach?

@molly0xfff wait… is your pinky usually on "o" or on "p"? Am I typing wrong?

@molly0xfff Would love to try something like that, although I'm a fraudulent touch-typer, so it might be a painful transition. Also, I use a RollerMouse, and that's unlikely to play nicely with this sort of thing.

@molly0xfff VERY swank!
I love my #ZSA #Moonlander #keyboard!
I still find myself occasionally wondering where a particular obscure key went (Where the heck IS PrntScrn anyway?) but that's a tiny price to pay for the overall huge productivity boost!

@molly0xfff super interested in hearing how it goes. I’ve been eyeing this and their Go60

@SolarDavy if you're lucky you have friends who are into ergo keyboards who will lend you one to test drive. in this case i already knew i loved the ergodox and so wasn't concerned about the ortho layout or thumb clusters, and i was willing to take a chance on the concave keywells

I got my Framework laptop with the clear keycaps and I could type fine but then remembering what the function keys did was such a pain in the ass.

the Ergodox was also ortholinear with thumb clusters so the transition shouldn't be too difficult, but the default layout on this one is a little different (thumb shift and modifier keys mostly)
@molly0xfff If you need to do any re-training on the new keyboard, ZSA gave away a copy of Epistory and it's $5 right now on Steam!

@molly0xfff thumb shift is really nice, IMHO. Not as much of a requirement when you've got as many keys as the Glove80, but still a win.
Hope you enjoy the new keeb!

@SometimeHippy @molly0xfff TIL RollerMouse. I kinda like that idea.
For my kinesis advantage2, I've got an apple magic trackpad taped in the middle (there's just enough room for it, and foam tape had held for several years now). Works pretty well though it still irritates my RSI a bit.

I'm ready for wireless customizable typing gloves to pair with display glasses or maybe a display hat. Its a shame we don't have those yet.

@molly0xfff I've seen the Glove80 recently online, and I don't think I'd like choc switches (I like some travel and height for my keys). I'm currently using the Moonlander, but am eyeing the Charybdis.

@delicta whoaaa thank you!
@delicta wound up flashing TailorKey (which I think is based on Sunaku's) and you are so right about the homerow mods!

@molly0xfff nice, glad you like it! Also can recommend to play with tilt of glove80, I found that max tilt of keyboard drastically improved my RSI

An eSIM was recommended to a friend who's travelling to Japan. Her phone isn’t eSIM-compatible, though. Does anyone with local knowledge know if she’d even need a SIM there just for a short trip? I imagine Japanese WiFi to be tip-top in trains, hotels, cafés. But then again, I imagined German WiFi would be tip-top better than Danish WiFi until that time our DSB train crossed the border and Deutsche Bahn immediately turned off the WiFi. So instead of assuming, I will #AskFedi, please

@Fabio Platone era un idiota che invidiava chi amava o era amato, entrambe cose evidentemente a lui negate.

@TomF I was surprised by how astute this take is. I watch him for music stuff, his interviews with some of my favorite jazz musicians, e.g. Pat Metheny, who Beato obviously loves, are among the best that have ever been done. But, he understands a fundamental aspect of big expensive computers that a lot of people are somehow still missing about AI. There is an assumption that we'll need big data centers forever...or at least for the next decade or two so they can pay for themselves.

Ingredienti per ottenere un predatore sessuale di minorenni:
Prendere un giovane trentenne
Aggiungere qualche centinaio di milioni di dollari statunitensi degli anni 80
Lasciare riposare per qualche decina di anni, rabboccando regolarmente la quantità di milioni man mano che quelli precedenti evaporano.
Condire a piacere con abbondanti applausi, asservimento e leccate di culo a mezzo stampa e in TV, come i cortigiani che applaudivano l’imperatore nudo.
