As someone who uses a 40s keyboard (no numbers row, kinda similar to the bottom middle keyboard in OP’s pic): my wrist pain that I got from typing 4-6 hours a day was gone once I started using them, because they’re compact and I don’t have to move my hands/wrists at all. When I type with a full-sized keyboard, I have to move my wrist when I want to type numbers, for example. Now I can type for 8+ hours a day without worrying about pain.

Of course, keyboards are all personal preference! That’s why I love the mech keyboard community, seeing all the different layouts and shapes people tailor to use for themselves.

I hate selfies, so whenever I’m on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I’m not in any of them. When I said I didn’t think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, “But how do people know you were really there, then?”

It’s really insane out there.

I’m the same when I’m going on a vacation with my parents! I want to have as much memories captured with them as possible… But it’s only when I’m with them lol. I usually go to vacations solo, and the pictures without me is still memories to me–even if it’s a bad picture and not professional quality, it’s still something I saw and experienced myself. Like maybe my sunset picture I took is crooked or too dark etc, but when I see it I remember the moment I was there; it captured exact hue of the sky that I saw, the birds that I was watching earlier, the clouds that I thought looked like a Pokemon and made me smile. The better pictures that other people took do not have that, so for me personally, it’s not a wasted effort.

The other day I was looking at my solo vacation pictures from 10, 15 years ago without me in them, and the memories are still with me.

Anyway, I think that although we take them differently, we both agree that vacation pictures should be for our memories, and not for “showing other people that we were REALLY there” (as my cousin said, haha…)

papaya,

Exactly this. I read the article in the post and thought it actually sounds like a nice service, but after getting this ad when searching “depression” on DDG last year, I don’t think I’ll ever trust them again lol.

papaya,

Yeah, they’re forcing you to have an account for their webstore to redeem any codes now. It sucks.

Japanese Misskey/Mastodon servers have also been spammed by the exact same thing since about 15 hours ago, and it’s still going. I guess they’re targeting Lemmy as well now, damn…

papaya,

The way I actually believed this for a second before I saw the community name…

papaya,

Just binged Skip to Loafer a couple of weeks ago, I’m still thinking about it now.

As someone who converted to ortho bc of their deep dislike for stabilizers, I approve this message.

Cool build, looking forward to its finish!

Our research has several limitations and should be interpreted with appropriate caution. Firstly, our evaluation technique likely underestimates the real-world value of human conversations, as the clinicians in our study were limited to an unfamiliar text-chat interface, which permits large-scale LLM–patient interactions but is not representative of usual clinical practice.

papaya,

Indonesian does; kiri (left) and kanan (right). “Ki” and “Ka” are usually used in texts (e.g., for captions in newspaper/magazine articles), but for headphones, contact lenses, etc it’s normally just L/R.

papaya,

Ooh this is exciting, can’t wait! I wonder if it’ll have the recipes for strange bun and seafoam pudding haha.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it went down around the same time the Malta government was claiming .ml sites (lemmy.ml was down around then as well). Thankfully Lingva has other instances as well! github.com/TheDavidDelta/lingva-translate

papaya,

The first board that made me fall into this rabbit hole was a K2, it’s a great budget board! My friend has a C2 and is quite happy with it.

papaya,

It’s this deskmat! I got it secondhand but iirc it’s available on Drop as well.

With all this talk about sync's pricing...

I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...

papaya,

Personally I find both sides a bit grating, but moreso the anti-Sync crowd lol.

I used Sync for Reddit and paid for lifetime, but after a while I found that I liked Infinity better, so I switched. I’m now using Infinity for Lemmy and probably won’t use Sync for Lemmy, but people who are using Sync (and paid for it)? Good for them. No need to tell them, “Haha you’re a sucker for paying for something when there are free alternatives!!”, you lose absolutely nothing by other people using Sync or other proprietary apps.

Let people use what they want, jfc.

papaya,

I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing!

What's your favorite Psychic type Pokémon? (m.archives.bulbagarden.net)

Mine is Grumpig. I like this psychic pig with elements of that “Pearls before Swine” quote from the Christian Bible that I was named after. It wears a lot of pearls on itself, and it’s a good dancer. The abilities it has imply that it’s a foodie species that goes at its own whims and tries to set its own pace for life.

papaya,

Hatterene! I think its Violet dex entry is one of my favorite entries of all time: “Beware of forests that show no signs of living creatures within. You may have wandered into Hatterene’s territory.”
