I see moonlander, I upvote.

Overall it’s really just super comfy. The wrist rest is fantastic for sitting at a desk for hours. The index finger on the ball was a bit hard to get used to but after a few days my finger looked like Mr. Incredible’s chest though.

The software to customize the buttons is really nice too. Cross platform, so it was trivial to setup custom stuff for my work MacBook and my PC separately (same workstation, but I’ve got a dock that switches all my devices between the two)

I may go pick up an ergo now though. I’ve been running this one for a few years now so it’s time to waste money on more peripherals I guess!

Well, it is hotswap, so I might as well!

Aurora Lily58. PCB was by SplitKB. Probably an awesome board, but as it turns out I prefer super tall caps.

That’s the Elecom Huge. It, as advertised, is HUGE. I love it to death. It’s like a hug for my entire hand and then some. I haven’t tried the MX ergo, but a few people I’ve known over the years liked it a lot.

Glad fizzbuzz doesn’t fit into the gibberish category

Boost hasn’t failed me yet, but aside from checking to see if it’s down, I’m being careful and popping away without browsing. I don’t want the dev to get slammed with more API fees because of me.

Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten

Just in the baggie they came in. Never had any issues but I’ve never tried to make something visually appealing for them either

That was not a fun week to be a developer.

Had GPT summarize what happened.

The “left pad” incident refers to a controversy that arose in 2016 when a developer named Azer Koçulu removed his JavaScript package called “left-pad” from the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry. This caused a ripple effect, breaking numerous projects that relied on this package and highlighting the potential risks of relying on external dependencies. The incident sparked a debate about the stability and trustworthiness of the open-source ecosystem and led to discussions about best practices for managing dependencies in software development.

Oh absolutely this. Far far easier. It’s a sign of a good dev who can come in and improve things without needing to rewrite everything. That said, refactors are fun as hell.

Am a developer, and there’s a few patterns to make this sort of thing easier, but Lemmy/kbin is pretty different than the reddit APIs as I understand it with the federation aspects, so swapping wouldn’t be THAT easy. Doable, but not a drop in replacement.

It absolutely counts. Mine was also 7 years ago and I still use it.
