Hahaha yeah I mean I'm never on reddit anymore, but [email protected] just doesn't have the same amount of activity or verified sellers, so I did my pre-purchase research using my private redlib instance
I can already tell this will be great once I get the hang of it. It feels much more natural on the wrists and back/shoulders.
It seems like it will take a lot of time to get up to speed, unfortunately. But that was sort of expected, I made a lot of big switches all at once so I could develop my target muscle memory all in one go.
Here are my present stats on keybr. I've clocked 5 hours on it across the last 5 days.
Yeah I've been playing with it a bit at work today with my mappings printed outaround me. Noticing a few that I'm not in love with (mainly symbols and some hotkeys) going to try to adhear to the miryoku mantra of hotkeys alternating sides, as I find some of the defaults I need to move my whole hand to be inefficient.
Adding these rubber feet resolved all sliding, but I'm sure if I angled the kickstands properly the first go around that it would have worked as is
Pic incase someone runs into the same issue in the future:
Yeah I was considering clamps as well, but I also wanted something portable for travel as I tend to do stints of doing remote work abroad
If I don't figure out how to get the kickstands to work I'll look for some clamps
I've seen those svalboarda around, they're interesting but the price point is a little out of my comfort zone for something so different. I'd feel dumb if I got it and hated it haha.
I do really like boards with trackballs integrated, and might be interested in checking out something like that
Part of the reason I did it all in one go as well was so I still had the proper muscle memory for QWERTY mechs/laptop Krebs, and I've read that doing it all in one go was a good way to achieve that. Are you still able to type on qwerty boards without a hitch?
I'm most likely going to be unable to actually use these for work for a few weeks. These came in on Saturday and I've spent about 3hrs on kebr and I'm about halfway unlocked with the letters with a target wpm set to 15 lol.
Figured I'll use kebr for initial letter learning and then start switching to other platforms like monkeytype and one that i saw suggested with common n-grams after that
Looking forward to getting over this initial hump, but its definitely been a bit demoralizing.
Since I type for money, and its not like my wpm were anything to brag about, I figured I might as well take some time to optimize so I don't end up hurting myself further down the line
After developing wrist issues and plateauing at 65 WPM on traditional keyboards, I decided it was time to improve my typing form. My technique had always been a hybrid of touch typing and hunt-and-peck, heavily favoring my left hand while only using 2-3 fingers on my right.
Twenty plus years of ingrained typing habits needed a complete reset, and what better way than switching to an entirely new format? The ergonomic mechanical keyboard scene had caug
This was my thoughts as well. I understand the need for an audit trail.
Would be very easy to build up an interaction graph with this data that could be used for fingerprinting. If this is an issue for you, though, just browse without signing in/interacting
Was just thinking about this more though, and unfortunately there can also be rogue instances that allow bot users to be created and interact with other instances posts, so this issue could still persist.
Try out searxng! It aggregates from multiple sesrch engines.
I find that, with companies that roll their own search algorithm that the results are often... lacking. I also don't trust brave as they try to push their crypto on you.
For what its worth, on the browser side of tbings, I run firefox w/ arkenfox
