Then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

nope!

if you have to ask me for “permission” for having your own opinions, well, i won’t stop you.

a lot of these are terrible, made by an animator who doesn’t understand design and just wants to make lines move for the heck of it.

honestly who cares? charge it overnight once per week and you’re fine.

focus on the actual problems, like the horrific ergonomics, planned obsolescence, or apple’s war on right to repair.

The same way creative professionals learn keyboard shortcuts for software like Blender, Photoshop, or Premier: practice.

It seems daunting, but honestly it’s not that difficult to adjust to using layers or chords on a smaller keyboard, especially when you can assign all those inputs to any key combo you want.

Chords and layers, my guy. Much in the same way you type a capital letter with a combination of two keys (shift + letter), people using smaller keyboards do the same thing for any key you deem “missing”, just with more keys being pressed. There’s even functionality where each key behaves differently depending on whether you tap or hold it.

Technically, you can have only 10 keys (one for each digit on your hands) and still get 2^10 = 1024 unique actions! Forget letters; you can have have whole words encoded in those keys, and voila ~ that’s basically stenography!

If you don’t like it, that’s okay! I’d never be able to use one myself either, but the people who can use it do like it; and besides, it’s all good fun to see what people can do with these layouts.

The QAZ keys on the right is a joke. This keyboard layout is called a QAZ/35% layout, where the Q, A, and Z keys are gone. The Esc, Tab, and Shift keys on the left side default to typing Q, A, and Z respectively, with further keys hidden behind chords and layers.

I believe OP is making this keyboard as a response to someone’s reaction to the QAZ board, right here on Lemmy.

To answer your question, many people prefer smaller keyboards mainly because 1. they’re gamers and want more space for their mouse, and 2. smaller keyboards minimize hand movements and therefore are more ergonomic.

“linux is hard” is a subjective opinion and he is entitled to it. it does not make it misinformation. he is free to express his frustrations at the learning curve, just like any learning curve in any other software.

i’d take a page from how broth noodles is delivered here in hong kong, and keep the broth and noodles separate until it’s time to eat. using a thermos for the broth is pretty genius though.

iOS is probably the worst choice if you want to sideload apps. I would recommend sticking with Android and run your Samsung into the ground (maybe flash a custom ROM?) before getting something like a Fairphone.

Besides, what do you want to be “passionate” about in mobile phones? To me, they’re just tools for browsing the web, playing games, and staying in contact with friends and family while on the go; anything extra is superficial.

Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.

i’m gay; i think this is hilarious. sometimes, cringe is fun!

i got introduced to ultrakill precisely because of francis xie’s v1 x gabriel smut

bro it looks like a moth and that’s sick

Generally found on posts containing legal advice.

oh hell yeah. adam ragusea’s recipe for pan pizza is the best. i’ve made all sorts already all based off his recipe: pepperoni, chicken alfredo, chicken barbeque, hawaiian, thousand island seafood (a hong kong favourite), etc; all bangers.

In your opinion, sure.

If it works for them, then it’s not the wrong tool for the job.

That’s so perfect.
