I can insult you, but you can’t call me out because I’ll insult you again. lulz!!

The code is open and there for you to read. What you’re actually saying is you’re too lazy to read and understand it because the world owes you something. amirite?

mentioning pointers, time sharing, endianess, word size, registers

You’re making me hard! Don’t stop!

It actually leads to a fantastic product and more free time because you’re not having to babysit kids who think the world owes them something because they can code ‘hello world’ in python.

Oh the irony. What’s gatekeeping about not wanting rubbish code in your repository? Lack of knowledge is self-gatekeeping.

The ‘wah wah…boomer’ cries are…cringe. Either step up with the knowledge and action, or don’t bother and cry “gatekeeping”.

And this is how I see Linux quickly unravelling and planned insecurities creeping in over the next decade or so.

This looks awesome - thanks! What’s the all-in price?

what’s “large” and what’s “cheap”?

Also forgot to point out, you can buy keys with a transparent cover over the top on ali so you can shove a piece of paper underneath the transparent bit to use as labels.

Amateurs. I use butterflies.

I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.

Need the basics, great, here they are. Don’t understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn’t in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It’ll still be there.

I don’t think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.

I’m using Mate and it allows me to easily define custom shortcuts to open apps and so on. I suppose autoIt / the linux variants / custom script can add additional functionality to the keypad as well!

Other than it being your password, why?

What do you use Wayland for? Gaming?

I’m using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it

Great! I’ve bought similar without the dials (I wish I didn’t have to pay extra for the stupid LEDs) and was hoping there was something open sourcey to configure it with rather than their dodgy codebase for the same reasons you list!

It sounds beautiful! It’d be really nice if there were transparent rubber keypads available that could be put over phone screens. Then you could fashion an old phone as a keyboard with infinite layers. A simple flutter app to set up the shortcuts and make them configurable and badda boom!

Mechanical keyboards have a huge, fanatical following! /c/mechanical_keyboards - shame it’s dead. I expected to see posts of why the IBM Model M is better than everything else!

I’m really happy that it works for you! Well done on doing the hard work to find it!

lol

Wow. I updated the post above with some cheapo alternatives that have mechanical keys.

There’s also MIDI controllers like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007444327683.html maybe more listed under DJ / mixing controllers
