I use a different layout to type, but I'd like to be able to have my physical layout reflect what I'm actually typing. The problem is that moving the F and J keys to where they should be means the home row would be missing the tactile bumps, and I use those to recenter my hands when I'm not looking. I'd like to add keycaps for different letters that have tactile bumps.

Do those type of keys have a name? I really don't know what to search for; "tactile keys" just returns rubber or textured keycaps (which, maybe the latter is a last resort). I'm open to alternatives.

Edit: Thanks, everyone! I have now learned they're called "homing keys," and they can have raised portions like bars, or a more recessed scoop.

Technically, SCOTUS didn't do anything. They refused to take up the case, which means the 5th Circuit's ruling, that superseded both lower courts that affirmed it was illegal by saying "we'll address it next year after the primaries," was the final say.

The thing that needs to be made sense of is why the 5th Circuit is allowed to operate in bad-faith as a rubber stamp for everything Conservative.

There's a reason Trump is getting RICO charges in Georgia, and it might be because he's the boss of a mob of violent idiots.

This. All of this. It's fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn't mean much if people can't easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

Wow, a whole list of "things that never happened."

Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you're obviously in.

Yes, but have you considered that if we legalize weed, Satan might get your kids?

Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.

I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.

I don't think it's an agenda, I think it's just poorly delivered. The facts are:

  • Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

  • Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

I think it's safe to assume that he's intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone's Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

I don't think it's unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.

She fell prey to one of the classic blunders.

[-] Telorand@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know if there was a motive? I didn't see one in the article, but maybe I missed it.

Either way, she deserves permanent incarceration away from society. "Fucked up" is an inadequate description.

It would probably not be prudent for any of us to support his delusions.

So, yes.

Oh Xlon MusX, it's like you got on the "weird 90s obsession with the letter X" train and never got off.

Well as we know, all cishet people know exactly who they are at any given time, and their personality, philosophy, epistemology, and tastes never cha—oh wait...

Must suck for him being so boring and predictable all the time, that he has to invent reasons to get all hot and bothered.
