I need to de-google this phone
My notifications just get clogged by useless Google stuff
I haven't had Google on my phones for... years.
What's a nice rom?
i want a phone with a phyiscal keyboard with postmarketos on it
Lineage
@rough sapphire Good luck
fuck Lineage, go Omni
Why?
Lineage has PrivacyGuard, and has been around longer.
totally not biased because i've had a falling out with the devs and solely based on the fact that they do some stupid fucking decisions
stupid decisions such as?
like reloading the surfaceflinger framebuffer every frame
Explain
so basically, you know how project butter dramatically reduced interface stutteriness and lag?
project butter?
I have no clue what you're talking about
Ah, this is old.
anyways, it accomplished this by totally rewriting surfaceflinger to take use of the gpu much better, and a part of this meant that they are no longer redrawing each frame but only whatever has updated since the last frame
Lineage (then CM) went "well shit, this breaks X feature in CM" and reverted pretty much everything project butter did
I told them they're being absolutely moronic and should just rewrite X feature
instead, they wouldn't implement the project butter changes for 4 years until something in the kernel changed so drastically that they were basically forced to
it still runs like garbage (stuttery and laggy as hell) compared to something like Omni
I don't have lag on my device, though?
you haven't compared it to Omni
I mean, anything I run isn't going to lag. I've got 8GB of RAM
Lineage has ran like garbage on every phone I've owned. Every time I give it a chance, thinking it's better on my newer phone, and every time I'm disappointed
... Scott.
It has nothing to do with RAM
I'm talking about interface stutter
It's to do with the CPU/GPU, not the RAM.
If I can see multiple benchmarks, I'll be convinced. But I'm not going to switch my business device from stable Lineage to Omni just for some minor interface stuttering.
I'm not sure why you're impying Omni isn't stable
also, fyi
Omni is made up of a team of people who had disagreements with CM/Lineage and split off
and you can tell that it's the talented devs who left
I'm not. I'm saying that the version of Lineage I have is fairly stable as-is. I get multiple calls a day, and I can't risk a version of Omni making my device inoperable for a day or more.
I get a consistent 90fps on Oxygen
show off :p
i'm getting the new fxtec
the phyiscal keyboard phone
I need a physical keyboard phone in my life
vertical or horizontal?
Landscape
the nokia n900?
No, the Xperia x1
The X1 was mine
That phone was coooomplete garbage
Windows Mobile 4
Slow as hell, no apps
Not seeing anything online for X1 - Just batteries
Xperia X1, Scott
Oh, thought you meant Blackberry.
The phone I had before the Xperia was an i phone
Not an iPhone
It was a shitty Samsung slide phone with the i system
Which was basically O2's internal Internet
It had around 32MiB of storage and no apps
It also had a limit of 3MiB per file
Before the 8310 I had some flip phone that if you paid once for internet, bookmarked a search engine, and then didn't pay for internet at all, you could still access anything if you searched for it through the bookmarked search engine.
ezpz unlimited internet
Haha
Before that one I had several Sony E phones
Including the Walkman phone and their weird slide camera phone
My first phone was a 3510i though
@rough sapphire Very weird that Omni doesn't force HTTPS on their downloads... http://dl.omnirom.org/

@sand goblet Did you see how a few VPNs were hacked?
Nope
NordVPN was hacked, and it looks like VikingVPN and TorGuard were affected as well.
Good thing I don't use any VPNs
Smart
Haha
It is amusing though
Those are widely used security products
I wonder how they were exploited
I use ZeroTier
Which isn't really a VPN but can be used that way
It's a really interesting piece of software, you should take a look if you like networking
It allows you to create private networks across the Internet with minimal effort and requires no port work
So like Hamachi?
No
Hamachi is actually just a VPN without the Internet tunnelling I think
I like ZeroTier because it makes it easy to manage static addresses for devices regardless of what they're connected to or where they're connected
I use my own (physical) server located at pretty much the north pole and wireguard
Just use PiVPN for that.
ZeroTier can actually tunnel your connection
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So I use it to appear on my own home network when I'm not there
There's also a hassio addon that supports it
my own (physical) server located at pretty much the north pole
you have a sever near the north pole??
@rough sapphire is ||Santa||
ikr!
@vapid bluff it's only a couple of hours from where I live to the north pole
arent you in estonia
yes
so couple hours by plane?
same
next up I'm probably gonna go drop a server machine off in Iceland
got a friend who lives there and can take care of it if something should happen
this my ride
ok, maybe not the north pole itself but pretty damn close
NordVPN has confirmed that one of its servers was compromised in a hack early last year. The attacker gained access to a TLS encryption key which could be used to impersonate the NordVPN.com site or a VPN server, using a targeted man-in-the-middle attack. The key could not be...
some more info on that
Doubt anything will actually be hacked on the users end (actual passwords)
Ridiculous amount of encryption
a VPN is a security service and trying to waterdown what happened is not good at all
I can't tell from the article. Is the issue that the third party server had some janky remote mangement thing that caused the breach, or that Nord used some janky remote management thing - its the first
Whist trying to downplay it isn't their fault, it does seem like its not the most impactful kind of hack
and it doesn't reflect too poorly on Nord
i think it does.
they weren't aware of a method of entry that was on the system they rented
i doubt the 3rd party intentionally concealed that
they lost private keys
that's a huge breach
there is no way for them to know whether data was accessed at that point
Yes, that's exactly the point. Ultimately, they had a backdoor into their systems and they are responsible for that.
yup
passing the buck to the 3rd party is just shitty
the proper way to handle a breach is to admit it
looks better for a start
i guess they admit part of it themselves
but not completely
Anyway, that's the main issue with most VPN service providers, they are all very opaque and ultimately have no real incentive to disclose security issues
"We failed by contracting an unreliable server provider and should have done better to ensure the security of our customers"
they shouldve vetted this 3rd party and their practices in the first place. how tf you gonna claim to be secure if you don't care about the people with closest access to the data.
Anyway, I'm sure people who have real things to hide don't rely on a VPN for that, surely?
I forgot t he /s I think
we all have things to hide
Sure, that's absolutely true
like, you know, security tokens :>
But, the scale of the things you've got to hide relates to the willingness of actors to expose their discovery of your secrets
that's true
No three-letter agency (or non-US equivalent) is going to advertise that they have a backdoor in most VPNs by catching pirates
That's a pretty good point actually
although I'd be more worried about foreign governments and actual crims
Yes
like the guy I used to work with and then threw out of my org, if someone steals your card details, they won't tell you - they'll just buy their copy of Minecraft
:>
and then microsoft will try to sue you when you reverse it
it's the circle of life!
There was a lot of discussion about this back when TrueCrypt became a thing
unvetted
yeah
lots of speculation about backdoors and the likes
people seem to give veracrypt that same stigma, despite it being vetted
Wasn't there also the iPhone case a couple of years back where law enforcement tried to get access to an encrypted iPhone?
I'm not in the know, but I can imagine that if agencies had the capabilities, they wouldn't have been willing to volunteer them
Hence law enforcement turning to Apple
they did it eventually, iirc the rumor was they paid some hackers to do it
cause apple refused
something about nand mirroring
yeah, it was the san bernardino terrorists' phones
Courts were involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI–Apple_encryption_dispute
Yes and they had the option to go to Israel as well, who were suspected to have the abilities to do the same.
Cellebrite is the name of that Israelian company, I think
yes
it's in the wikipedia article
It's basically labour stating what the government is doing, at least, that's how see it
Namely, pushing through the most important bill in a long time without any opportunity to reflect properly on it
yes
The atmosphere is aggressive and tense
this has been the government's strategy since boris took office
he's tried multiple routes already and failed
this is his next gambit
they should settle this with a rap battle
It's almost turned into that
i say settle it with the queen and a big golden mace
Jim McMahon, Lab: "This place can be quite intimidating at times. I came here believing that people who sound a bit posh and walked round with an air of entitlement somehow knew what they were doing. And if nothing else I thank the PM for disproving that at least."
205
BITCH SLAP
i don't watch live parliament much anymore, it makes me too angry
well, it's a nice slap, but I honestly think your PM does know what he's doing
yeah, he does
It's just that he doesn't care about the impact
because he's supported by disaster capitalists and the idea of power retention
It's been a mystery to me why so many people in my country vote against their own interest as well
at the time plenty were fooled by lies and such
the UK is very uneducated on the EU
including our politicians
They vote for parties wilfully breaking down every system they benefit from to advance big corporations
ah, that's first past the post
FPTP voting is fucked
forces you to vote for some chucklefuck you agree more closely with than the person likely to win
i live in a heavily conservative area so if i vote with the party my values align with then it's pretty much a given the conservatives win
so instead i have to tactically vote for labour
representative commons, lords becomes FPTP
that would be a great way of somewhat fixing shit maybe
Also, I'm curious, who do your values align with?
probably closer with the greens
libdems are a nono after they fucked over everyone who voted for them during the coalition days
"we reigned in the worst of the tory party" - Tim Farron
buuuuuullllllllllshit
Yeah, supporting the lib dems at this point is quite close to just being a tory
well not a tory
but right wing
they took ministerial positions which came with the stipulation that they'd have to vote FOR tory legislation
they should've formed a coalition and rejected the ministerial positions
then they could've voted freely to "reign in the worst of the tory party"
the fact they still parrot this lie is so irritating
Yeah. I feel like the Jo Swinson brand Lib Dems kinda suck
fuck knows what i'd do in a general election this time around
My area is so tory that whatever vote I make is just a protest vote, so I'd go for greens; but I'm really not a huge fan of any of their details
i don't feel i can vote labour anymore, even as a tactical vote
Why?
enough of them are straight up tories
Really?
Under Corbyn, a lot of the party is actually on the left now
if thats what you mean
nah, it's more to do with how many of them reject a 2nd referendum and are pushing for a deal type thing
they've shifted on the spectrum to appease tory voter base imo
doesnt labour have a major internal antisemitism problem
Official labour policy is now a leave w/ deal vs remain referendum
and it's entirely based on criticism of israel, as far as i'm aware
but thats specifically a Brexit thing yeah. I really hope they have a second referendum before a general election
it's not like we're going to be voting on many other issues bar that
it's such a monumental issue it overshadows everything else
Yeah I agree and think its fair
you can't have a national policy if you don't know what state your nation is going to be in
i mean the first one that really pissed me off was labour voting in favour of tory austerity
they basically became tory lite in that instance
they also fucked the disabled / people on DWP by helping pass retroactive tory legislation which made illegal practices legal
I didn't follow politics back then. But centrist Blairite labour vs current labour is a pretty big difference in terms of rhetoric at least
and Id hope in terms of practical policy as well
eh, i can't see it being much different
labour is still centrist
and blair labour was actually more towards the right imo
politics has shifted
Politics has definitely shifted
but I think Corbyn is definitely on the left
As is mcdonell
and they're the ones setting the key policies
i still think they're centre
Well, both are pushing for nationalisation of stuff which is a very left policy. But I also don't know any of the rest of their policy
i mean his policies have actually gained traction with centrists so
because of the Brexit black hole
"nationalisation" isn't a very left policy
it used to be a centre policy
everyone fucking agreed on it until it was all flogged off and fucked up
Keeping things nationalised was a centrist philosophy
but buying things up from the market
or seizing them
is very much a left wing policy
again, centrist policy imo
it costs our government more money to let private business run the train network rather than doing it ourselves
and provides worse services
it's only since neoliberal economics became "the thing" that this has become a nono / leftist idea
blair was a neoliberalist in a lot of ways too fyi
The train thing isn't unambigously true
I thought it was for a long time
but when I tried to find evidence for it I couldn't
Blair was pretty overtly neoliberal
we've had to BUY BACK shit because private enterprise couldn't profit from it iirc
We did yeah
but that was a single franchise
Also, I don't think we bought it
we just sort of took it back
True, but even under British Rail people complained about rail services and fairs
I agree it is almost certainly better to nationalise. But its not a cut and dry thing
yeah but at least there wasn't profit motive slapped on top of that
private couldn't run the actual rails so we had to take back control of that (duh)
now they just run the profitable part of the network
In one instance
journey / fares
nah, Railtrack
was a private ownership network of the infrastructure
that's what Network Rail is now
so now the government is in control of the less profitable part of the network
@gentle moss You're a wifiman right, any idea how I can simulate unplugging and replugging my wifi dingledongle without actually losing connection?
ye
without losing the connection i'm not entirely sure tbh
:/
Bisk the wifiman
Cause right now I'm experiencing the high ping thing, and unplugging etc is whats been a temporary fix atm
router ping | google ping
you could try making a powershell script that disables / enables the device
like you would do in device manager
hm
maybe that might work quick enough not to destroy TCP connections
Can't say I have any experience writing powershell scripts :D
but the OS probably behaves differently to a DEVICE going missing than say, unplugging an RJ4 cable
nor do i, at least not ones like that
his dongle is shit
I dont think it's my dongle
Router most likely
I just don't want to unplug it atm, as game im playing has 2hour queus and no reconnect service q.q
oof
is it TCP traffic?
TCP timeout can give you a little bit of wiggleroom with stuff like unplugging / replugging
idk about disabling / re-enabling a device
Damn..
So I ran the windows troubleshoot thing
Didn't take very long, but did disable it
so i disconnected
Good to know Ican do that instead of unplugging though, slightly faster and less pain
figures
game probably makes network request and OS is like "lol no that adapter doesn't exist" and it dies
if it were an RJ45 cable you could probably get away with it
i've upgraded switches using the quick switch method and companies have never even noticed
@undone berry
<_<
Maybe I should get 2 wifi dingledongles 🤔 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Does that work 😂 ?
Just have a cheap one to be a "backup wifi" for when it bufferbloats 🤔
write a simple script to reboot the devices one by one when it happens, hmmm
is bercow leaving for real this time? cause iirc he announced he was stepping down then reversed it once before right?
sometime earlier this year i think, cant remember
bit earlier than a month
like in april/may?
i think he announced he was leaving earlier
but stipulated it'd be later down the line
and now it's oct 31st
A spooky leave
gonna miss that shouty bastard
really good at his job
mogg was trying to do something the other day that he argued to the speaker wasn't on about 6 months ago
6 months ago the speaker upheld it and in this instance read moggs own words back at him
they turn on the speaker when it suits them, kinda shitty
especially when he's been doing a good job
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/28/john-bercow-reveals-plans-stay-commons-speaker
John Bercow has said he plans to stay in his post as Speaker of the House of Commons despite previous expectations he was about to leave, risking the fury of hardline Eurosceptics who believe he wants to thwart a no-deal Brexit.
ok nvm, so it wasnt even an official announcement, just something he was reportedly thinking about doing.
yeah, last month or so he said he would be leaving on oct 31st though
as he was fed up of this bullshit and being attacked etc
He originally said he was leaving when Brexit was done with
he then revised that to specifically the 31st
otherwise he'd never be able to leave
best shouty man ever
he is a very good shouty man
although, I have heard some good arguments as to why he isn't a perfect speaker. Mainly he often ends up making himself the focus of things when he shouldn't/doesn't need to. i.e the "Chuntering from a sedentary position" stuff is just playing it up for the cameras
He was described as the fun teacher thats really bad of actually keeping control of the class. That seems fairly reasonable to me
idk, he seems to do a reasonable job at it
the problem is parliament is louder than it used to be
...weirdly.
that is definitely to do with it being televised
and people playing it up for soundbites that can be used on social media
true, but the procedures there do a terrible job of actually facilitating debate
oh sure
vs parliament which is pretty good at it
about as good as I can imagine a formalised system could be
PMQ's has definitely become theatrics
that is 100% due to the soundbitey nature of media at the moment
guys can i ask a question?
at this point its much more like shouting statements at each other
you can always ask a question, a response is variable
whereas it did used to at least be questions and answers
Absurd moment. Rory Stewart interrupts a speech by the SNP's Ian Blackford, who is complaining that Scotland is being dragged out against its will, and says: "What about London?"
rory stewart is a fucking idiot.
I mean, its kinda fair. London is a pretty distinct area from the rest of the country
About as muchso as is Wales
London is a city, not a country.
sure
meanwhile in new zealand parliament https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asz262IFqBA
NEW DISCORD! https://discord.gg/xVvdaRk Buy the best games at the cheapest prices at G2A! https://www.g2a.com/r/flater Instant chat with me on my Discord Ser...
but in many respects it is like a country
and the point Stewart could have been making
is that London being dragged out because its part of England is equivalent to Scotland being dragged out because its part of the UK
that's... a fecking stretch
SNP have been pushing for another independence referendum off the back of this government's "not giving a shit" attitude towards the scottish
if the SNP weren't the Scottish Nationalist party, they'd be fantastic
they're policies in Scotland have actually been good
Yeah, I realise
more grandstanding
The deputy leader of the Green's called him out saying something like "Why does everyone think they can run for mayor of london just to progress their own careers"
and sorry @steel quest, i'm not sure i know an answer to that question.
you might be better off asking in python-discussion?
idk
since python is uncompiled anyone with the source can read it and run it
still thnx for ur time
i mean johnson did such a terrible job as mayor he's now under investigation
so you don't even have to do the job well
literally nothing about Boris' mayorship was good
even the fucking Boris bikes were Ken Livingstone's idea
yet people still somehow think he did a good job
"spaffed" £26m or so up the wall on the garden bridge
got played by a californian model for government grants
purchased 3 water canons which were illegal to use
yeah, he never tendered the contracts properly either
Sadiq Khan gets absolutely roasted as mayor
weirdly roasted about knife crime
attacked by the fucking US president
as if it's the mayor's job
to deal with policing levels
that's the government's job
i wonder why it could be
sadiq khan... sadiq khan...
why would a racist president attack him
hmmm
I agree racism plays a big part in it. But I think its also the fact the press in this country is so heavily right wing just going after easy shots
yeah
anyway, sadiq has the mayoral race on lock vs any tory
as he could just put up posters of their face, name and voting record on brexit
Brexit will probably be done - or at least in a point of stasis - when the mayoral election happens
just a question
but yeah, he still probably has it down
Is the press in England subsided by the government?
This explain why they are right wing probably
The BBC is funded by the government
TV "license" :)
Its worth noting, Channel 4 does a pretty good job for a TV news station
yeah but sometimes their journo's actually ask real questions
I think sky are quite good
it's not healthy to have the majority of all press owned by like 5 billionaires
in fact
Media bias check says they're alright
Well
Sky might do some actual journalism sometimes
but they are still fundamentally hacks
Every media have bias
yes, but the problem in UK media is the level of bias
Is the monopoly then?
the majority of UK press is heavily right wing
even the left wing is actually closer to center
guardian etc
Daily mail, Sunday star
the mirror, the times
Why are there so many right wing
Guardian is fucking trash
the telegraph actually used to (maybe still does?) pay our Prime Minister £275k a year
for writing stories
Oh yeah
that's almost double his PM salary
Like 4 a year?
But are there any difficulties in starting a press?
like close to impossible
that's one of the reasons you see a lot more online journalism
something along the lines of Leveson 2
oh
the canary etc
spiked, the vile piece of shit
i'd say right wing press outweighs left wing by like 3:1 in the UK
I like libdem the most but can't really say much more then that for politics
i believe there was a press freedoms study of europe and it found that the UK press was the least informative and most biased
So the solution is to have less regulations or what?
Currently watching parliament - and Jo Swinson is about as interesting as a soggy fish
No
lol
We're something like ~50 in the world for trust of the press
33rd least biased
Is there any possible solution for the press problem?
better journalists
yes
less click baity bullshit
regulation
for example
less click baity bullshit is never gonna happen
regulation in the press?
since boris johnson has got into office his media spin team have been putting out messaging through the use of anonymous sources
and journos just lap this up
no questions
hmm
because having "special access" to sources inside government
is seen as something to want to maintain
even if that media spin team is playing the press like a fiddle
maybe better journalists, yes
the advantage of this is that boris never has to actually put out his real policy
he can just get an anon source to say some shit
How is trump not impreached
Don't agree much with a lot of regulations in the press
the press then say "SOURCES INSIDE NUMBER 10 SAY THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ALL THE POOR"
they'll get a feel for the nations reaction, without having to officially say it's their policy
The purge part 1
so when they're questioned on this they can say
"we don't comment on anonymous sources"
and backtrack
it's also allowed him to spin clear defeats as victories
by creating a new narrative
uncritical journalism is a problem for sure
but again, no one wants to give up their "inside source" or whatever
and getting "the scoop" draws in eyeballs = money
exactly the same way trump got so much press coverage in the run up to the election
he generated revenue
Why Trump got elected is a lot more complex than that. Also, media in the US is infinitely worse than in the UK
oh sure, but even CNN admitted they gave him more airtime because it improves ratings
undue prominence and that
But if Hillary Clinton was even a remotely competeny candidate, she would have had soundbites of her roasting Trump up there with him
but she was absolute shite
shitter even than Theresa May
oof, i dunno about that one but that's based on TMay's record
Clinton had a lot of failings but she had still done her previous jobs pretty well
plus the whole, you know, go home vans
and hostile environment
deporting people
windrush
etc
her entire career was a right leaning "establishment" politician I meant Clinton with that one
and right wing is a failing there because she was representing the party furthest to the left in the US
ah right
yeah
there are quite a few in the democrats that seem to have very republican leanings
by current global standards, in pretty much every country, the recent past US democrats would be considered right wing
it's that whole thing of shift / swing
I agree there has been a shift globally. But I think its worth just treating US politics and European politics as two completely distinct things
there are such vast differences between the two at this point
And the general trend in the UK at least it towards the showbizzification that you have in the US
Whilst I can see the trend towards the right dying off in the mid future. I can't ever see a world where there is sensible political discourse
i think that's gone out the window at this point
oh huh, just tuned into parliament
seems like the government benches are empty
while [checks notes] discussing the withdrawal agreement bill
Amusing Ourselves to Death is a great book that highlights a lot of problems with modern discourse; which is pretty impressive because it was written in the 80s
and yeah, I listened to a bit of parliament, but its just pro-remain people banging on about pro-remain stuff to each other
just now was Benn highlighting how the government has said it hasn't done and wont do an impact assessment
because next to no-deal a Free Trade Agreement option is the economically worst
"lets not assess the impact because it'll make us look bad"
like the yellowhammer report they tried to shuffle under the carpet
Whilst the people saying "Get brexit done with" are clearly complete morons. At this point I can empathise with them. I'm so sick of Gove et al sliming and lying about Brexit for the last 3 years
In fact, I've literally never followed politics when Brexit wasn't the main issue (Because I'm too young, not because I wasn't interested)
i started last year
Not normal for the last few decades. This surge of nationalism is fairly common if you take a larger look at the past
Cold War Era alone shows similar traits
yeah
🤔
i am coder who is really good at "it"
no you are not good at "it"
then you must work at nsa right
I guess it depends on what 'it' is
Hackerman tm
if 'it' is sleeping then i'm your man
no the "it" means "it"
oh fuck
i'm a coder really good at "it" too
The scary it?
no no no
The other it
Oh, i feel so stupid now!
You can talk with me, the help just cost the execution of one file
I'm not good at doing 'it'
the good "it" that like connects "it"
Coders dont have time to practice 'it'
There is it and it
What does 'IT' stand for
They aren't the same it
well 'IT' is a movie but 'it' has a different meaning
intergalactic table
It stands for, it stands for commitment
In-farm Technology
what you plan your trips to andromeda on that?
he did the it for it when he was learning it to get into it
It stands for audacity. It stands for courage in the face of-
in the face of it.
bought my first mechanical keyboard!
This is it
I've been using the same membrane one since 2006
nice @rough sapphire which key switches?
cherry blues, they seem cool
i have one with otemu switches
also blue?
nice
maybe I'm just weird, but I think it will be rewarding to hear clicks/clacks all day while working lol
my membrane one is relatively quiet
sometimes when I'm stressed I just do the top 100 english words typing thing
and then orgasm
it's like music
exactly
are blues the loudest?
Probably yeah
I can hit around 130 consistently now and it just sounds so fucking good
That's without punctuation though
I injured my hand pretty severely as a child and I lost some function in my left index finger, so I've adopted this weird mutant way of typing with like 3 fingers on each hand
but after like 18 years of doing it, I got it up to relatively fast lol
Nice haha
Yeah I have a family member who can hit 60 wpm now with 2 fingers
I guess you get used to it
My typing is really slow
But i don't look to the keyboard at least
the only thing that still gets me is the symbols sometimes
specifically the #$%^&*'s
yes
Yeah
i have problem specifically with the numbers
one thing that kindof helps is the numpad, if you have one
i don't
its a little more intuitive than the number bar across a normal keyboard
afk 1 min, need to take something out of oven
my membrane keyboard had one, but i like small things
If you try this typing test http://minify.link/3y2 its 15 seconds without any punctuation/numbers/weird symbols
Redirecting to url, please wait...
How fast are you?
Membrane also feels nice sometimes though idk
40 WPM is my best
I love my membrane, and like I said earlier, its been going strong since 2006, lasted through like 3-4 computers
my membrane is really old
but some keys started to stick starting a month or so ago, so RIP
rip
is a IBM keyboard
Damn thats sick aliver
I do 55-72wpm
typing while holding a newborn is awkward.
typing with one hand is horrible, can't do that anymore since i learned to touch type
I need to learn how to touch type
its possible to touch type with only one hand
https://www.typingclub.com is how I learned to type properly. Highly reccomend
it's trickier to one hand touch type because you're not rooted down
you need to use sticky keys. But you can root yourself on f/j. The site I linked has a tutorial for it
no you cant
i can do iy okay on my laptop almosy
yes you can.
big and flexible hands though
thats apparently the hand position if you wnt to type an n
makes sense
I can't be arsed to learn it. But I think you could pick it up with a few hours practice quite easily
Not everyone will be able to do two handed.
i'm leaning more towards:
pinky on s
ring on f
middle on t
index on h
thumb on m
gives me a hand position to reach everything really
except enter
Are you left handed?
no
but i am a guitarist
so my left hand is used to doing complex actions
my right less so
That layout you described seems horrible
hitting backspace/enter is a pain in the ass
I'm pretty sure f/j would be the "best"
if you were willing to practice
at any rate typing with one hand you're going to run into problems with enter and backspace
I can do index on f, pinky on backspace/enter without too much difficulty
Width of my hand is about equal, but your fingers are longer
spindle fingers
Same here
when normally typing i generally only use 2-3 fingers on my right hand
idk why it just got lazy at some point
so i didn't need to advance it
Cramped up my hand from writing for too long
Learning to touch type is almost certainly worth the effort
definitely
at least it was for me. Far fewer typos
the problem becomes when you're just typing stuff into chat while not looking
made me love the command line a lot more bizarrely
and you've learned to not really think too hard about voicing thoughts in text through type
and then you end up word salading because you're listening to someone talk
or thinking about something else at the same time
i can do one handed and 2 handed but if i have to type something on the left side with 1 hand i fucc it up
'Word Salading' nice
an actual term, word salad
A word salad is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases", most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the lis...
what, grandad typing?
Yeah
Whenever I speak to someone about typing, they say "Yeah, I can touch type". I then watch them hunt and peck. Whilst a very niche frustration, I reall dislike that so many people who use a keyboard and mouse every day and don't know the right typing terminology
But really fast
the best way to tell if someone can really touch type is to just move all their caps around
Main alphabet keys are 1 finger on each hand but I use other fingers for control keys
i did this to a friend once
made his keyboard alphabetically ordered
and moved the symbols around
I can "touch type"
he couldn't type for shit
Like I don't need to see the keyboard
for all your special characters too?
Iffy
But it would be a try 1 and "oh yeah, it's that"
For something like the dollar sign
remove all the keys from the keyboard and try to put them all back on again without looking it up or testing
that's a fun one
I try to make my keys blank
people always say I don't need to see the keyboard
I ordered a blank set but they where for an ANSI keyboard
and then look at the keyboard
spend your entire youth in a dark room with a keyboard under the desk on your lap
learn pretty quick
:D
So I just turned backlighting off on normal keys and the print is hard to read without paying attention
Ok turning off the lights >:D
Yeah it's just the same
first few keyboards i had after my Model M were cheap tacky things
I couldn't see them anyway
Hm?
oh i'm talking about wearing keys down
Blind typing is for if you see the keyboard
I'm using some generic $20 tkl with noisy keys.
not specifically typing
Touch typing is the one with a ton of fingers and 2 on f and j
it's fun to watch letters slowly disappear over months
you get to find out which letters you're really using
ESDF went first for me
well, touch typing is a subset of blind typing
e and w wore down instantly
It's funny to see the difference compared to page down or a similar key
Is it though?
You can still look at the keys when touch typing, no?
no
You can
no
It is physically possible
not if you're touch typing properly
Who said properly
but thats what touch typing is
well in general there are other factors that lead to faster / better typing rather than purely not looking
I need to learn how to touch type
i'd get a slap on the wrist for not using my right hand correctly
I can blind type easily
type using all one's fingers and without looking at the keys. dictionary definition
but it's how i've learned
But touch typing is the tricky one for me, hard to break a strong habit
I don't focus on the keys, but I can see how my fingers are moving at the lower edge of my vision.
pfft, that's a shit definition
and i'd not fit into that category
despite having a high typing skill
Nobody would
because i don't use all the fingers on my right hand
but, i don't 'touch type'
i never use my right thumb
Way to strict of one
All fingers
so you use your right thumb to press space too
you have 10 fingers?
because that's weird
Yes
thats impressive.
thumbs are fingers
My middle middle fingers
saying otherwise is ridicolous
thumbs are thumbs
you have 10 toes, however
but yeah, you only need one thumb to operate the space bar
idk why you'd need to use two
true
but I just alternate between them pretty arbritarily
Lots of little thumbs on your malformed hand with one big one
my point is, thumbs, by definition are not fingers. Else, they'd not be opposable.
so, if you have 10 fingers, you've got an interesting mutation there.
lol
i type with about 7 fingers and 1 thumb
using my right thumb to press space feels... weird
i don't think i could adapt to that
probably videogames to blame
I type with about 6/10 stubby bits on my upper feet
5 finger typer for me (2lh, 3 rh)
I tried learning colemak
right hand on mouse duty
but I found it miserable
Left and right index fingers control left and right alpha keys
Then pinkies for control keys
switch to DVORAK or another layout, and you might improve your QWERTY after going back.
And thumbs for space bar
oh lord i just tried grandad typing
switching to dvorak/colemak/other is worthless if you don't touch type
they were all designed around typists
who all touch type
Grandad typing is 1-hand poke typing
it is hard to do this after decades of not
But with 2 hands
I did the first 10 years of computer life hunt/pecking. So at this point I can still hunt and peck at 40/50wpm
I have a horrible writing grip
I hate devices with ABCD keyboards.
Way too tight and i'm left handed
i think last time i type raced these chumps i was hitting 90 - 100
Not great
Dymo, i'm looking at you.
<_<
I disilke races
🤔
oh god those label printers?
they are a HORROR SHOW
some of the cheaper ones are ABCD
luckily work has a QWERTY one
so does mine.
What about old phone keyboards
Integrated into the numpad
You have to press like 4 times for z
thats not so bad, as it has enough cognative disonance to not confuse me
These are unusable without predictive texting.
hello becomes 4433555555666
or 4 3 5 5 6
gdko?
You press those keys and your phone turns it into hello.
I am using a tv remote for reference here
There's letters on your tv remote?>
Yeah
Never used them
Not sure what menu requires them
May just be a printing thing and it's cheaper to leave them on
the nice thing about the old keypad: one-handed, blind typing.
i can't stay keyboards with no numpad
laptops excluded
ahhh, old phones
yeah, blind typing text messages
and knowing how to navigate your contact list
just pocket SMS someone <_<
I like my 10-keyless
the best phones had the slideout qwerty keyboards
I miss them so much
Oh they where nice
Fun to play around with also
Now they are just commonly overpreiced slabs of easy-to-break glass and expensive-but-not materials
famous last word
Yeah, done up to lesson 2 of the vim tutor and figured the rest out as I went along
@rough sapphire No SIM card?
they have been muted for being (repeatedly) offtopic elsewhere, so you're not going to get an answer
Ah, gotcha.
I'm guessing 13 year old with a new phone?
How goes it @vestal briar
Looks like he got a huawei
@rough sapphire pfp, nickname, anime background, screaming noooo jokingly to a phone update on a discord server
No sim card also
I mean more, what's up with you
Hm?
WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU
Naw
I have just been relaxing
Not really 😅
Seems quiet on the server. Too quiet.
Just lost steam on my main project so i'm at a loss for anything to do
Hmm
Well it's not halloween yet
Yeah, I know how that is
spooky
spooky scary halloween
Skeleton
spooky halloween danger skeleton
hm, they seem to be ordered
halloween danger skeleton spooky
Well it's likely just iterating over the keys of a dict
