Ubuntu is the new Comic Sans, right

As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

Can someone explain how something as generic as a keyboard can be a subject to patents?

There are no bugs, it’s just not doing what you expect it to be doing…

… which, now that I think of it, can be said about all software in general.

You have a point unfortunately.

Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions

One of the few positives of today’s designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they’re not sought after.

Yeah, fair point. Thanks for explaining. Not a native speaker, so I kind of forgot about that.

General advice - don’t be picky about dedicated media controls; sure they’re nice to have, but they severely limit your choices (I was in that boat too). At the same time it’s very easy to make key combinations; e.g. the Caps Lock key very often gets neglected, and if this is the case for you, you can repurpose it to Fn, and from there you can do Fn+W to play/pause, Fn+Q/Fn+E for prev/next track respectively and so on (of course the specific keys are up to you). Look for QMK/VIA support over manufacturer-specific software.

Sorry I can’t give a more specific recommendation. I second the idea that Keychron generally have good value for the money, so do Vortex and Ducky (although Ducky have gone up in price while not staying very competitive).

“Пиян като мотика”. Translates from Bulgarian to “Drunk as a mattock”. I remember asking my dad about this phrase when I was a kid - “Why? Do mattocks drink?” - and he answered “No, they fall down”. Classic dad.

In this line of thought I like how “tool” is something useful in its primary meaning, but derogatory when used about a person.

We have a similar one in Bulgarian too: “Парен каша духа” - roughly the same thing, but without explicitly mentioning youghurt.

What’s next? Talking about healthcare?

I’m a fan of physical media and at the same time I don’t believe in its supremacy; I don’t think it’s more practical than digital files for example.

I still like it because 1) it can be a way to directly support artists that I like and 2) it’s a way to own content instead of renting it.

Yes.

Naming conventions are somewhat consistent; it’s the pricing that has gotten a bit out of hand.

You know, you don’t have to buy everything in industrial quantities.

Just look at how fired up you all are over a simple slogan.

Try explaining this to your family.

But only a little, right?
