You spelled TempleOS wrong
Try installing and running a game on GOG through Epic Launcher on a Steam Deck. I have done this in the past haha (it was Witcher 1)
My guy, you are asking me to provide evidence for the claim that something feels to me a certain way. You do realize how silly that is?
Blaming teenage mental illness on social media feels to me like the boomers are trying to find a different scapegoat than all the factors caused by their own stupidity, greed and destruction of human habitat.

Turns out there wasn’t mushroom in the house.
I don’t really go to those websites, but could it be that the top half is a screenshot of Xitter posted on Facebook?
Some part of that is that a lot of the mech keyboards are DIY projects, and smaller keyboards are cheaper and simpler to put together.
I personally am a split ergonomic keyboard enjoyer. I use a Keebio Iris at work and a Unikeyboard Diverge TM2 at home, which are a 50% and 40% respectively, both split.
The thing that I like the most about small form factor keebs is that compared to a full keeb, I don’t have to move my hands so much to do basic and oft-repeated tasks. I don’t think about it as removing keys as much as bringing them closer to my fingers. For example, on a 40% keeb, all keys are within 1u away from your fingers’ home position.
I am totally in love with programmable layers. I programmed both of my keebs similarly. Examples:
A
key, usually the Caps Lock key, is a dual-role key on my keebs. When you press it, it acts as Esc
, and when you hold it, it acts as Ctrl
.Ctrl
+ Tab
, Ctrl
+ Shift
+ Tab
) is a very often used pair of shortcuts for me, and they’re relatively uncomfortable to press on a full keyboard. I moved them to a much more comfortable position - I hold a key with my thumb and switch tabs with two of my other fingers without having to move any fingers from their home position.Ctrl
+ Win
+ arrow keys) to a similarly accessible/comfortable position, same with some others like Alt
+ F4
.F1
-F12
) are quite frequently used in IDEs, especially in combination with modifiers (Ctrl
, Shift
, Alt
). With a full keeb you often need to move both of your hands quite far from the home positions to press those combinations. With a small keeb, I use one of my hands to press the modifiers (which I mapped to the home row in most of my layers) and a finger from the other hand moves just 1u up from the home row.Of course it takes a bit of trial and error, changing the way you think about how the keyboard works, and retraining your muscle memory, but as a person who spends 8+ days working with computers, I think it’s ultimately worth the investment of time, money and effort to make my weapon of choice as ergonomic and comfortable to use as possible.
For when I can’t sit at my desk and use an ergonomic keeb, I also made myself an AutoHotkey script that makes the CapsLock of a regular keyboard more useful. It would be for another writeup, but as an example, it makes it act as Esc
when you press it and when you hold it, it activates an extra layer – as an example, it turns the keys HJKL into arrow keys (left, down, up, right) and the keys YUIO into Home
, PgDn
, PgUp
and End
, and turns the numeric keys into function keys. I can still work with a full-sized keyboard, but whenever I am forced to, I am reminded how clunky it is and I long for my keeb or at least my AHK script.
In summary, small keebs are cheaper and easier to make, and they bring all the keys closer to your fingertips, making it more efficient and comfortable than full keebs, with the small cost of retraining your muscle memory.
This. My preferred way of catching up to my favorite channels nowadays is watching their content on LibreTube with AdBlock and SponsorBlock on and supporting them on Patreon if they have one.
Looks interesting, thanks for the rec!
Is there a way to semi-easily import my Google Photos archive?
No, you need a JSON file if you’re not in the EU but still want to be able to disable the integrated crap
Not your security, silly. Their security (financial).
Here’s another alternative, I save the article into Pocket and that usually works.
I think the average Joe doesn’t really understand or care about the security risk of such a feature, because they assume that there are competent people at the company who have considered the security risk and took sufficient steps to address it. It’s not by accident that there’s a meme about some guy having a smart fridge and watch and everything, and his friend the IT expert, who doesn’t have a single piece of smart tech and keeps a gun in the kitchen in case the toaster makes a wrong move…
