  • I’ve also moved backspace, delete, and enter to my thumbs, way better :D

    I don’t know about having the same button do multiple layers, especially tapping is not my thing (because then I don’t really have control over going back, unless that’s again a tap of another key, which feels like overhead), I just hold a finger for a layer on my other hand, and release when done.

    That said, you do you and it could definitely work, experiment with the most wonky setups and keep what works!



  • Nice! Initially I was definitely slower, but my choice (for the moonlander) was primarily for the ergonomics (the split keyboard really helps with my posture and back), and then I just started experimenting. My layers were intended to just get all of the features just somewhere, and then step by step evolved into the current setup. There’s some logic to each layer though, and I mostly use the arrow keys (left hand pushes some button (no clue which, I’m typing this on my phone from the couch now and it’s solely muscle memory) and my right hand is now as if I was on the arrow keys, with the pageup & pagedown keys nearby), in combination with the modifier keys that’s 90% of my navigation while coding.

    Apart from that there’s the symbol layer, where the keys I use often are fine, but others I just spam keys until the special character I’m looking for appears and then delete the rest lol.

    The mousenav layer is mostly a joke, but has saved me once when my mouse broke so worth it!

    If you have any other questions, shoot!



  • Not the guy you were talking to but I wonder, what do you think about privacy preserving age verification?

    A site requests your age, this opens a 3rd party oauth or similar login where you can login without the site directly seeing it, you get a request similar to logging in with google and getting the “this site will see your email and real name”, but the request will only contain your age. The third party will cryptographically sign the message containing only the request uuid and your age (or even just >18 or <18) and the site itself can verify that, but nothing more or less.




  • I assume only German citizens can sign this? I upvoted here if that helps, because it sounds like a great initiative, maybe if this gains traction this can go europe wide?

    The difficult part is measuring work done I’m afraid though. For volunteer work as e.g. reading books to kids or cleaning streets it’s relatively easy to see that things are happening, even if some are better/faster than others. Unless you’re going to force people to work in live calls or whatever, or just trust self-reporting, that’s going to be hard, no?

    Or do you mean more like subsidies for nonprofits working in open source?

    Either way, good initiative, I hope for its success!
