One morereason to like the fact France dont have any lesson on religion in its schools. (But let’s be honest, there is also a aweful lot to dislike in our schools.)

Bigou, 2 months ago (edited 1 month ago)

Good teachers do it, both in history and french class, but that’s often an overlooked part of the teaching plan. In part because our government ask teachers to teach more and more things a year, and no days are added to said year. (The teaching about religion, I mean. Teaching religion is still illegal in public schools, and must be optional in privates ones.)

Also, the “peoples” who govern us might prefer us ignorant of those things. (And many other, to be honest.)

Mine have more than 10years. I was very lucky.

Thanks for your willingness to help.

I’m not that good in electonic, so I might need help on the plans on that front, along with what resistors or diods I need. (I do know how to solder &, at worst, know someone who can help on that part IRL.)

For the design part, I have found somone else’s project I can use as a base, and have switches and some keycaps I might be able tu re-use, but might very well need help with QMK and what micro-controler to use.

First thigs first: Thank you for your help.

Don’t care much about the labels. What you see on the picture is the BÉPO keymap, (A Dvorak for the French language) which is how my keyboard is mapped. But what is printed on my actual keyboard is AZERTY, which is what most French peoples use instead of QWERTY.

Thanks for your great work.

Concerning the lacks of pin on some controllers, the function row could always be folded in the numbers row and made acessible via a function key of some sort.

We could also make it so pressig the two shift buttons simultaneously is how you lock into upper-case letters. (Another double-shift to unlock.) That would let us remove the rightmost colum too. (I only need the upper-case lock from it, and I don’t need it there specifically.)

I prefer wired personally. As for product availability, I live in France, so it depends on what is easily available in my country.

I effectively don’t care if the spacebar is split, nor if it is 1u tall instead of 1.25.

All this is interesting info I will-have to study. Thank you.

Bigou, 2 months ago

Hm… I might go the Promenade way, as it seems to corespond to what I want, but I need to study the question more. Thanks for your help.

Thanks.

Why use MS Office 2007 when you can use LibreOffice?

Bigou, 3 months ago

Are you saying this because of the file formats? You DO know you can saves your documents in the Ms Office 2007 formats, and even make them your default file formats, right?

Bigou, 3 months ago

Hm… I was under the impression it was rare nowadays to have such a difference between the two, clearly I was wrong. And yes, with such layout problems between the two suites, you can’t use LibreOffice if you’re working conjointly with peoples using Ms Office. (Which is, lest be honest, the case almost all the time.)

That said, for peoples at home who don’t need to share a modifiable version of the documents they create, y would still recommend LO over MsO, for no other reason than the price. (Which DON’T include peoples bringing work at home, nor those working on some collaborative documents in their free time.)

Bigou, 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

Wich is what I said should be donne in such a case in my last answer, just with my own words.

And no, using old MsO versions in not a sin, especially if you can’t do otherwise. (Not thut it would be a sin to use what you’re more comfortable with anyway.)
