  • I’ve always been a good touch typer, so the transition for me wasn’t too bad. I also use the Dvorak layout as my default since QWERTY is dogshit (though I can still use QWERTY if needed.)

    On my desk actually I have a full sized (MX Keys) keyboard and my split keyboard, and I use them both all the time because I have a couple of computers I’m using at once so it’s easier.

    The biggest hurdle is just setting up the “layers” on a smaller keyboard like this. I have a layer for arrow keys, and one for a 10-key and function keys, etc. The world is your oyster, really, and that much choice is a little overwhelming at first. We’ve all been told for our whole lives that keyboards have to be a certain way, so when you get free rein to do what you want it’s…a lot.

    But now I don’t even think about it. It’s one of those things where if you asked me how to get to the arrow keys I’d have to think about it for a second, BUT it’s so engrained in my muscle memory I use them all the time all day for work without a hitch. If that makes sense.

    I’d say I’m about the same speed for typing on this versus my other keyboards. But the Lily IS much more comfortable than any standard keyboard, that’s for sure.







  • It’s always funny to hear stuff about “leftists” ruining things when “rightists” 100% tried to overthrow our government - like physically broke in to the Capitol and tried to kill our leaders (while injuring dozens of police officers. “Back the blue” right? “Thin blue line!” Right?).

    If the RIGHT can’t have it their way, they’ll literally try to overthrow a fair election. A bunch of spoiled brats trying to kill people because their (now felon - 34 counts!) president wasn’t re-elected. (EDIT: the original post was removed, and this paragraph was using their words. They called left leaning people spoiled brats, so I was just reframing that here.)

    Oh no, am I mentioning January 6? You bet I am. The right has lost all credibility after that event. No amount of people throwing dog turds on teslas will be worse than that. (Also, why would anyone be defending the Nazi car guy?)

    What’s really going to be funny is seeing the right blame the democrats in a few months (maybe a year) for how shitty everything is after this idiotic trump admin has gutted all public services. Somehow that’ll be the democrats’ fault to them.

    Additionally, the guy who blew up the Tesla at the trump hotel was a trump supporter, via Wikipedia:

    He [the guy who did it] additionally criticized Kamala Harris as a “DEI candidate”, expressing pleasure that the United States elected “a real president instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.” He argued that people should unite around Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to promote national hegemony.
