Your neighbors must have loved you. What’s the terminal velocity of a potato?

What did it do?

I mean no shade, but I was honestly expecting as I scrolled down that this would be posted in c/ABoringDystopia

I’m with you; I prefer date versioning for many things. Semver does work really well for things with exposed APIs; it’s a stretch to justify using them with user tools, and especially GUI tools. Semver is used to great effect in Go - which is how it should be use: mainly by the language’s module management system. Outside of that, it’s human readable, but like XML, its main value is to machines, and only secondarily to humans.

Calendar versioning is far more human-oriented, and so more useful for things without exposed APIs or module tooling.

@best_username_ever mentioned Semantic Versioning. It’s an actual spec. Not everyone follows it, and it doesn’t make sense for a lot of things, and far too many people are dogmatic about it. But it’s a good thing to read, and it’s not long.

A related, but not tightly coupled, spec is Changelog. Used together, and used correctly these two are nice for users.

You need to accept the fact that you are AI generated.

On the plus side, it’s proof you’re living in a simulation!

I’d been wanting a new keyboard for a while, mainly to get better tactile switches and more aggressive stagger. But I tried to swap some keycaps on my ErgoDox and broke a switch, and that was enough to justify a new keyboard. I’m sticking with the Piantor for a while because I don’t want to afford to drop $250 on keyboards every few months. So, in my case, I’m sticking with it for financial reasons, not “in love with” reasons.

I do like the better programmability, tho. Definite win, although kanata certainly filled that need adequately.

(Yah, I’m answering twice)

cocot46plus looks fantastic; I do like to have that extra pinky column. Plus, I recently forced myself to convert to a trackball, and having one in the middle there is appealing. I also have a PowerMate that the knob could replace - just about perfect!

The Vulpe Majoris might be even better, since I have large hands and the more aggressive stagger is not comfortable for me. And also a trackball option; these are both fantastic suggestions, thank you!

Thanks! I thought you asked your question for a different reason.

Why did you ask your OP? Just curious.

Hmm.

What are the “ideals of transgenders?” The right to exist, free from persecution? If you’re opposed to basic human dignity and rights which you’d be really pissed about it someone tried to take them away from you, then, yeah. That’s a fairly extremist view.

Immigration… well, I can at least understand the thought process. But unless you’re Native American yourself, then that’s just fucking hypocritical. I wouldn’t say “extreme,” just more “asshole.” Like, you got yours, and fuck everyone else trying to get what your immigrant great-great-grandparents did - it’s a kind of dick attitude. If you are of indigenous descent, then sure: you get a free pass on that topic, from me, at least.

We should be able to discuss these topics, and I’ll agree Lemmy can be pretty hostile when it shouldn’t be. Lemmy’s got its own Overtone Window and it can be rather fascist about enforcing it. However, if you approach a controversial topic at least attempting to come across as open to debate, and not just ranting about cross-dressing Mexican laborers taking your job - and really depending on the instance and forum you post into, you stand a fair chance of having a decent discussion.

You’re not going to get much love going into a feminist community whining about affirmative action is actually just sexism in disguise, no matter what.

I’ll just point out that many of is are aware of the paradox of tolerance: intolerance cannot itself be tolerated, or the bigots will eventually win. So if you’re feeling as it you’re getting slapped down about some topics, maybe consider it your position is one of tolerance or intolerance, and know that Lemmy’s aware of the danger of allowing a Nazi to sit at the table with you.

I used an ErgoDox for years. I wasn’t thrilled with the switches, and I wanted more stagger.

For the past few months I’ve been using a Piantor. I’ve learned:

1. Thin is sexy, but I still haven’t found anything I loved as much as buckling springs, and maybe I should have opted for less sexy, but more tactile, than what’s available in Choc
2. I really need to focus on a bat-wing style, connected keyboard next time. While the sides don’t slide around much, it really bugs me when they aren’t exactly where I expect them to be.
3. I need more tenting; the tenting option(s) on the ErgoDox was good.
4. 42 keys is just a few too few for me.

I’m a fairly fast touch typist, and while I loved the chording for, eg, the num pad, I have to have too many keys under layers and I can’t quite get the QMK settings tuned such that I’m either not getting a layer switch fast enough, or I’m getting them unexpectedly.

I think part of my problem is something the author of kanata found out and corrected for: I sometimes type a following key before fully releasing a previous key, which gets interpreted by QMK and kmonad as a layer switch (and, with 42 keys, almost every key is doing double duty). I suspect I can make QMK do what I want, but there are a lot of knobs and it can be hard to tell what to adjust.

Anyway, I think next time I’ll go for less thin, max tactile, more connected halves, at least a couple more keys on each side; I miss those center thumb keys on the ErgoDox. Same stagger. I’m going to have to solve the QMK programming either way.

But the mother plant produces “pups,” which you can break off and plant, which can become new mothers themselves. Also, the flowers last a really long time.

I had a pimiento I bought from a grocery store; I knew about the “single flower” thing, but the plant was still going after the flower died and I just couldn’t throw it out. Then someone told me about the pups, and now I have 5 healthy pimientos. None have yet bloomed; I need to do more reading and see it they need some special condition - but I just wanted to pass along the information about the pups!

And who will they pick to fight? The World!

Brown people.

People get weird and start behaving uncharacteristically as mortality approaches. They start thinking about things like “legacy.” They start caring about how the history books will talk about them.

I would not at all be surprised if Musk turned philanthropist after he retires; or even just a couple of years before he retires, like Gates did. I expect the same from Bezos.

Amoral billionaires trying to buy off history and public perception. And it works: look at Bill Gates, one of the most loathsome representations of obscene capitalist extremes - he built a monopoly, ran competitors out of business through illegal business tactics, was responsible during one of the biggest monopoly convictions and only barely survived getting broken up because Ronald Fucking Regan getting elected just in time and castrating the penalty phase of the process. Gates makes Bezos look like a saint; I admit he wasn’t a raving Nazi lunatic like Musk, but I still suspect that as Musk ages he’ll start trying to buy public good-will.

Just like Gates.

He’s a horrible human being trying to buy his way into the “good” column in the history books. Spending a shit-ton of money you made through unethical means doesn’t absolve you. Musk will do the same thing when he retires; you going to forgive him, too, because he creates a save-the-children foundation with a tiny portion of his hoarded wealth?

I have no time for Bill Gates, no matter what he’s saying.

You can’t install FireDragon on any other Linux distribution?

Hugo isn’t a server, per se. It’s basically just a template engine. It was originally focused on turning markdown into web pages, with some extra functionality around generating indexes and cross-references that are really what set it apart from just a simple rendering engine. And by now, much of its value is in the huge number of site templates built for Hugo. But what Hugo does is takes some metadata, whatever markdown content you have, and it generates a static web site. You still need a web server pointed at the generated content. You run Hugo on demand to regenerate the site whenever there’s new content (although, there is a “watch” mode, where it’ll watch for changes and regenerate the site in response). It’s a little fancier than that; it doesn’t regenerate content that hasn’t changed. You can have it create whatever output format you want - mine generates both HTML and gmi (Gemini) sites from the same markdown. But that’s it: at its core, it’s a static site template rendering engine.

It is absolutely suitable for creating a portfolio site. Many of the templates are indeed such. And it’s not hard to make your own templates, if you know the front-end technologies.

It depends on how you want to write. If you want to use a web interface, WriteFreely is decent. If you like your text editor, Hugo is fantastic.

:shrug:

It’s trivial to host yourself, and super light on resources. Personally, I don’t use it; for blogging I write markdown and rsync it over to the server where Hugo picks it up and turns it into a blog. Now that I think about it, I should probably go shut my WriteFreely down. I have a few pages on it, but I hate web app interfaces, so I didn’t put much content in it.
