binary keyboard that supports full unicode but it's just 21 flip switches and an 'enter' key

@1000millimeter @Jmj @brooke @NanoRaptor people suggested that when I made my ascii binary keyboard, but it's sadly not possible with how the USB HID protocol works. You can't send arbitrary unicode, only a small group of scan codes that the PC converts into unicode later.

@1000millimeter @Jmj @brooke @NanoRaptor seven bit is more than enough: keyboards rarely have more than 128 keys.

@1000millimeter @Jmj @brooke @NanoRaptor It takes ASCII, yeah. it has to translate it into letter+shift because of how PC keyboards work

So there's always the debate between QWERTY and alphabetical keyboards, but everyone is missing the obvious way to solve this disagreement.

There's no reason the alphabet HAS to be in that order. It's arbitrary, and English would work almost completely the same if the alphabet was in a different order, you know?

So, let's just put the alphabet in QWERTY order!
It'd solve all our problems from Q to M.

Note to self: record someone singing the QWERTYbet to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star

Although really the name should be something like "the cuedoubleyou", since the word "alphabet" comes from alpha + beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.

@bialpio like, one song. And some early schooling. You'd need to sort stuff differently

@donkey @bigzaphod good point, hex would change too!

@jamie fun fact: I work in a library! and I do library stuff for a hobby!

so I know exactly how much chaos this would cause, and that's part of why I suggested it :)

Here's a sung version of the new alphabet (cuedoubleyou) song:

North Carolina's House has rejected the anti-mask bill! The bill will now go through a compromise process, which could include re-adding a health exemption.

More work needs to be done, but this shows that advocacy is making a difference. Keep going!

Been looking at clips to see what kind of Wait How Did THAT Get In There stuff in TTYD got in there a SECOND time. So Hooktail still fake-offers to let Mario smell her feet, but they've cut the line about how "people pay good money for this"

Evidently someone told Nintendo about Onlyfans, but not e621 :blobfoxdevil:
