We’re talking about things that take ms to decide and act upon. I mean if you prefer it or you’re used to it that’s fine but for many people I’d argue the cost of change in either direction is higher than the aggregate savings in time.

There is 5+ more years to it than that

Their auth is better than the tool itself (last time I evaluated options which was maybe a year ago)

Except the person who wrote that, regardless of the actual issues with FUTO, cannot be trusted and is an unreliable source.

I really would encourage people to not treat that guy as a real source, but use it as a starting point for evaluating his sources, such as they are, on their own merits.

1-the tool you want to get better at

Ex: if you are a software developer and mostly type obscure chains of semicolons, curly braces, and other infrequently used punctuation, using one of these websites to get better at quick brown fox typing will only half help.

2-your native layout for the same reason

I say this acknowledging there are two sorts of “I want to learn a skill” urges: the used and unused. I have plenty of things where I just wanted to learn the skill (take tying a few fancy knots for example). I don’t yet have a use for it. It’s just something I felt like learning. Touch typing feels more like the other kind, where the point of the skill is purely to use it. If you’re learning touch typing when you don’t type anything, do whatever makes you feel like you’ve learned something. If you’re learning touch typing to make typing faster, use the tools at hand.

->Put a box over the keyboard or turn your room lights off so you can’t see the labels very well.

Having windows on top of each other might be useless but it also doesn’t hurt anything, and KDE already has the ability to snap windows into different positions. So this description doesn’t really capture the problem you’re solving.

I understand what they were trying to go for, but they failed…not least because they explain that below the fold.

I’ve been forced into graphene due to calyx’ abandonment (and piss poor communication – “oh we didn’t realize people don’t regularly check our website in case the entire organization collapses overnight”) of it’s users this year, sadly. There just isn’t an alternative afaik.

On the graphene front I’ve personally been banned from their matrix chat on several accounts, none of which I actually used to post in their chat – they did a blanket ban of anyone in the calyxos channel. Not posted there, not posted in graphene, not having actually done anything, they blanket banned (he now denies this ever happened). Which honestly given how many times I went on to see him uncontrollably ranting at people was probably for the best. He and his most ardent supporters are a brigade of trolls.

Wow you’re very uninformed. May want to read up first.

It looks neat but what an absolutely stupid take from a keyboard author

Because it trusts you to write what you meant to write.

Butch if I didn’t let it correct me I’d have to actually mook st the keyboard and who the fuck wants to do thatm.

Phones are tiny and humans are clumsy. I absolutely never mean what I type, as you can see above.

I think that’s a pretty extreme bar, but I agree 2 YouTube discussions doesn’t make a fascist. At worst it makes a Gavin newsom or Joe Rogan.

In 2025 they do

Sorry but this person is treating grapheneos’ attacks on other groups as legitimate which throws the entire article into question. If they are happy to provide a platform for graphene’s founder’s paranoid conspiracies I can’t trust the content.

Seems clear there’s some questionable shit going on, but the only evidence presented is two YouTube videos which isn’t actually a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised based on this to hear there are deeper links, but this article is written by someone who thinks tweets and YouTube comments are evidence.

My os does not do that

I don’t consider “wanting a secure app to be installed through first party means” to be particularly unusual. I know in Linux it’s standard to just install random stuff from the internet with root. I’ve obviously done that myself, but for secure stuff I want first party. Making a flatpak wouldn’t be hard (they probably just need to review someone else’s work – it’s like an intern project)

If you care to trust random strangers with your secure messenger that’s a choice you can make (admittedly the desktop isn’t particularly secure to begin with but even more reason to use the actual org’s build imo). I’m sure christian heusel is very reputable.

You added it in the subthread to my question and now you appear to be trying to blame me, in your head, for your error. Now that’s interesting.

The signal org produces a debian-compatible package and an apt server. I suppose there are hoops to jump through to make that work reliably on other distros but by that point my interest in using Linux was dwindling. (I actually moved for the performance benefits which didn’t materialize I think due to linux’ piss poor memory handling – I have a pretty low end laptop with only 16 gb of ram. the above we’re all just issues along the way).

I mean your point may have been windows sucks ass but I’m aware of where I am and that’s a completely uninteresting claim here. Why not rant about water being wet – it’s just as unique or interesting as your take on windows.

What I specifically asked about is underhanded backstabs, because that’s a unique and interesting claim I haven’t read 464335735 times before on lemmy.
