Thomas Baart (of splitkb.com fame) dives into group buys:

Group buys are still used as a business model, but its popularity is dwindling quickly. Why is that, and is that justified?

Interesting read!

My takeaway wasn't that he didn't like it, he did. Just not worth the absurd price unless you want to literally pay for the privilege.

That looks great! How do you like the melodics?

Ik heb mensen horen verkondigen dat dat is omdat imessage- of facetime-gesprekken (geen idee welke precies, ik heb geen Apple-toestel) niet werken met het ding aan je oor. Of dat klopt, weet ik niet. Dat ik iedere keer als ik zo iemand zie, van binnen iets verder doodga, weet ik wel. Geen gezicht, en vaak nog het geblaat over de speaker ook.

It absolutely is. Yet, as Sean said, it's also yet another bit of software to run and maintain, and ES is known to be a bit of an effort to keep going well.

Admins having only finite amounts of time and/or resources, might make the very understandable decision to leave it out.

Gut, ja, het is stroom, het werkt, prijzen zijn prima, dus ja, wel tevreden.

Ik heb wel een code voor je.

(Edit: code ook daadwerkelijk toegevoegd. Ooit ga ik dat internet en links en zo snappen).

Keyboards is no beter. Like you said, the fluff makes the hobby.

Just looking at it makes me wonder why you'd consider the thumb placement that strange (although all hands are different and all that). What was off about it for you?

I'm actually still on my first ergo, a Lily58 (my first mechanical was a "regular" 75%). I was a bit on the fence between this and the Corne, and I think I would've been fine going with the Corne; I barely used the numrow and currently it's not even mapped, and I'm experimenting with putting the things I had left on the outer columns on layers or combos.

But regret... no, of course not. It's been a great learning experience so far!

I'll certainly build more boards at some point, at least a Corne because, well, gotta build a Corne, but maybe some other things as well. Maybe a Charybdis or a Cygnus or something like that.

You gotta love the copy on the Warp site. As for why they're now launching it on Linux:

Despite this, Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows

...relatively few? Really?

This sounds like it'd be exactly how I currently use Tumbleweed on my workstations: I don't update daily, but rather every once in a while. I appreciate the new versions of things, but being on the daily bleeding edge is more work than I care to put in.

I can also see this working quite nicely for those with nvidia hardware, where with TW you'd sometimes end up with a kernel too new for the drivers to get shoehorned in. A slightly easier-going pace would help there.

It also reminds me of Android, where you have roughly monthly updates (theoretically) and every now and then a bigger one.

Installing a software package through a distro's package manager sounds like a perfectly fine "Linux way" to me.
