Just a few minor changes to the default layout. I swapped the the up/down arrows on the right half so it matches Vim’s j/k I also put the space bar and backspace on the left thumb cluster. This was mostly for games so I don’t have to remap space. Delete went to the right thumb cluster. The last thing was to put ‘=’ next to 0. My brain just couldn’t handle the default ‘=’ being on the left hand. Instead I put '' on the left hand below F1. I use that key less often so it wasn’t a big deal. In general, I got used to the rest of the default layer pretty quickly, and the deviations aren’t too far from a standard keyboard.

I’ve had one for about a year and a half and I love it! It took me a few weeks to adjust but then my typing speed quickly got back to normal. I did play around with rearranging a few keys too, which really helped. I haven’t had any other ergonomic keyboards to compare to, but to me the thumb clusters and concave design are game changers!

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the “weird stuff”. I teach Tai Chi and I’m very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I’ll often mention that I don’t mean some notion of “life force” but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it’s not really a martial art, and it’s not really meditation, and it’s not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I’m happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

V-G-S

He’s just not fully materialized yet.

This is sad. I really like the app!

What’s everyone using instead?

The Bangle.js 2 is pretty cool

In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

I’ve been using a Glove80 full time for over a year and I love it! It helped with my wrist pain too. I’ve not used any other ergonomic keyboards other than the Microsoft one, but I’m very happy with this one and see no reason to change.

Nice!

Time for some Tribes or Heroes of Might and Magic.

Found them!

Looks like something from HP’s lab.

That game was amazing!

How did you get the Dreamcast connected to a server?

I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing about this. Tribes is one of my favourite games! I hope this one is good.

I’m curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.
