Learning is never useless!

ETA: I use Colemak, so I'll see if I can find something default or if I'll have to find something more piecemeal.

 

I use a different layout to type, but I'd like to be able to have my physical layout reflect what I'm actually typing. The problem is that moving the F and J keys to where they should be means the home row would be missing the tactile bumps, and I use those to recenter my hands when I'm not looking. I'd like to add keycaps for different letters that have tactile bumps.

Do those type of keys have a name? I really don't know what to search for; "tactile keys" just returns rubber or textured keycaps (which, maybe the latter is a last resort). I'm open to alternatives.

Edit: Thanks, everyone! I have now learned they're called "homing keys," and they can have raised portions like bars, or a more recessed scoop.

No. Fuck Facebook, and fuck Zuck. There isn't a world in which they would federate and respect our privacy.

See how they build internal user profiles for users not on Facebook through tags and other metadata scraping techniques. If people you know talk about you on Facebook, there's a shadow profile about you out there, waiting to connect with you in real time. I have no reason to think they wouldn't do the same kind of shit here.

There's a reason Trump is getting RICO charges in Georgia, and it might be because he's the boss of a mob of violent idiots.

This. All of this. It's fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn't mean much if people can't easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

It's been great, honestly. I had Garuda on a laptop I was using to stream from a local Desktop, and it worked better for Remote Play than Windows 10.

Well, you know...money, amirite?

I smell a biography book deal and a string of news appearances where he talks shit about how the GOP has lost its way.

Wow, a whole list of "things that never happened."

Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you're obviously in.

Yes, but have you considered that if we legalize weed, Satan might get your kids?

They're not guilty for the things their users do. Bad actors are all over Facebook, so revealing a government was using their platform for nefarious purposes is more like, "See? We can be good guys, too!" It's positive PR to be proactive like that.

Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.

I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.

I don't think it's an agenda, I think it's just poorly delivered. The facts are:

  • Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

  • Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

I think it's safe to assume that he's intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone's Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

I don't think it's unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.
