The same way creative professionals learn keyboard shortcuts for software like Blender, Photoshop, or Premier: practice.

It seems daunting, but honestly it’s not that difficult to adjust to using layers or chords on a smaller keyboard, especially when you can assign all those inputs to any key combo you want.

Chords and layers, my guy. Much in the same way you type a capital letter with a combination of two keys (shift + letter), people using smaller keyboards do the same thing for any key you deem “missing”, just with more keys being pressed. There’s even functionality where each key behaves differently depending on whether you tap or hold it.

Technically, you can have only 10 keys (one for each digit on your hands) and still get 2^10 = 1024 unique actions! Forget letters; you can have have whole words encoded in those keys, and voila ~ that’s basically stenography!

If you don’t like it, that’s okay! I’d never be able to use one myself either, but the people who can use it do like it; and besides, it’s all good fun to see what people can do with these layouts.

The QAZ keys on the right is a joke. This keyboard layout is called a QAZ/35% layout, where the Q, A, and Z keys are gone. The Esc, Tab, and Shift keys on the left side default to typing Q, A, and Z respectively, with further keys hidden behind chords and layers.

I believe OP is making this keyboard as a response to someone’s reaction to the QAZ board, right here on Lemmy.

To answer your question, many people prefer smaller keyboards mainly because 1. they’re gamers and want more space for their mouse, and 2. smaller keyboards minimize hand movements and therefore are more ergonomic.

“linux is hard” is a subjective opinion and he is entitled to it. it does not make it misinformation. he is free to express his frustrations at the learning curve, just like any learning curve in any other software.

Fun fact, BG3 only has a max of 4 body types per race, and the lower genitalia each have their own models to fit each body type, and that’s just for the “normal” sized races. The short races also have their body types, and so does the Dragonborn. Each armour and clothing piece has to have one unique model and rig to fit each of those body types; that’s a lot of modeling and rigging work.

Now how much gear is there in Runescape?

to be fair, though, 1 and 0 are just binary representations of values, same as decimal and hexadecimal. within your example, we’d absolutely find the entire works of shakespeare encoded in ascii, unicode, and lcd pixel format with each letter arranged in 3x5 grids.

Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.

bro it looks like a moth and that’s sick

lol

I don’t care.

In your opinion, sure.

If it works for them, then it’s not the wrong tool for the job.

That’s so perfect.

I’m just looking through this entire thread, and call me crazy, OP, but you seem angry not more people are using GIMP. You’re quite aggressive about it, attempting to shut down legitimate UI and UX concerns at every corner, and it is genuinely fatiguing to see.

I feel there needs to be more nuance to how this AI is used.

For commercial settings (including streaming), permission from the voice actors must be given first, or at the very bare minimum monetarily compensated at their full rates for the amount of time those voice lines are used.

However, if I want to mod Baldur’s Gate 3 for fun and add a new companion into the game without any expectation of profit, as long as my usage of the Narrator’s and other companion’s voice lines don’t stray from the established style of the game, I should be allowed to use AI to create those voice lines until I secure funding (either through donations or Patreon) to actually hire the voice actors themselves.

Tetris Effect and TETR.IO are unironically the best versions of Tetris out right now.

Tetris Effect not only has amazing visuals, it brought a brand new mechanic (Zone) into the formula that made multiplayer matches suspenseful and exciting to watch again.

TETR.IO is not an officially licensed Tetris game, so legally it’s just a block-stacking game. Still, it currently boasts the best multiplayer system out right now, with a consistently high player count to boot.

man’s actually taking the piss at OP’s use of “empirical” instead of “imperial”

also, i doubt that measurements of data can be imperial or metric; even Bytes themselves are just measurements of 8 bits.

I’m part of the 70%.

I use it exclusively for gay furry porn.

Gamers generally want more room on the desk so their mice can travel further without needing to be repositioned.

I love having a numpad for extra keybinds in MMOs and for number inputs for work, but I’ve since switched to a TKL and never looked back.

I still miss the numpad but that thing can be bought separately, and not smashing my mouse into my keyboard is a big plus.

Looking into upgrading to a Wooting 80HE once that launches; it’s like a TKL that wants to be questionably special, but given Wooting’s reputation I’d wager it’d still be better than anything else on the market.
