couldn’t post as they’re still trying to escape their selfmade hell. /s

about the spacebar:

• you might want to swap the switch on that, could be it’s a wonky one.
• unless I’m horribly wrong, the spacebar width is the standard 6.25u width one, finding a keyboard with shorter one could turn out to be nearly impossible unless there’s some unicorn-one-of-akind-layout out there, unless you’re looking at ergo/split/40/other-weirdo -ones.

about via:

if you can flash it with a firmware which supports vial, it might provide a better customization experience. edit: linky: https://get.vial.today/

burn the (s)witch! /s

can’t argue what feels nice to type with. :)

preference is always king. Some like tactile, some like linears, some heretical people like clickies.

Switching switches tends to come with a period of getting accustomed to the new feel, at least for me. I switched from cherry mx browns to durock L7’s (68g ones, iirc), so quite the jump and I absolutely love them. Types just fine, but the first week was pretty weird, ngl.

:what^C^C^C^Z^Z^C^ESCFFUUUUUUUUUU...

well, I am using vim, but I don’t know how to use vim.

Am I vimming?

this is me, doing php and javascript on daily basis.

heh, no biggie, it happens. :P

Either way, the world (well, me, at least) needs more ISO -keebs. ISO ortho would be cool…

*horizontal, but yea. ISO seems to be hella rare. Don’t euro-peeps really buy mechanicak keebs that much?

started with NES games in late 80’s, so in theory I should be fine with game pads? Platformers and driving games I can generally do fine, anything else? … heh, it’s like watching parents use computers. I just can’t do first/third person aiming with analog sticks or use bumpers/triggers at the same time with anything else.

Mouse and keyboard are my weapons of choice, at least with those I’m not embarrassingly bad.

edit: though, Nintendo Game Cube controller is kinda my thing, not that I’ve played much of NGC games or anything, but I did finish Eternal Darkness just fine (emulated, used savestates, but still), the controller just feels way more natural than modern xbox/ps controllers

man, it’s been ages since I last saw this movie. Sober me’s todo for tomorrow: meaning of life, python. GET. ON. IT.

“20$ is 20$”

which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?

don’t we all? But we’re here to make boring business software for MBA’s

https://xkcd.com/323/ this? and the fact that most of my programming breakthroughs have come while in “two beers” territory.

edit: actually, no. MOST of my programming breakthroughs have dawned on me while sitting on the can. But second most is “two beers down”.

I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”

edit: also, I have contributed. There’s this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.

is Gearbox still in terms with Epic? It’ll probably be in holding cells Epic store for a year anyway, and then it’ll move to other stores with ULTIMATE EDITION -dlc bundle, with another dlc planned later on which isn’t in ULTIMATE EDITION. Wasn’t that the play with 3 as well?

Unless 4 does something truly new for the series, I’m probably not going to get it, at all. Kinda feel like I’m done with the series.

Yep. Apparently outlook does this and afaik because some kind of link sniffing/scam detection/whatever, but it does it by changing the first characters of each query argument around.

We spent amazingly long time figuring that one out. “Who the hell has gotten Microsoft service querying our app with malformed query args and why”

not to be rude, but the brand reads on the device :D

anyhoo, going by the name & browsing their website: https://www.kensington.com/p/products/electronic-control-solutions/trackball-products/expert-mouse-wired-trackball3-1/

it’s been a hot minute since I last played SDV, but can’t recall ever using JoJa mart.

I guess there’s an argument to be made for using them, if it’s wednesday and you really need something. Or if you’re a monster. :D
