Dark mode all day and redshift set based on the sunrise and sunset on both desktop and phone. I won't go back.

Also I'm gonna do another suggestion for Dark Reader browser extension. It's great!

I think for others it's having different switches and keycaps for different feeling when typing. For me it's trying to find what I think is the most optimal typing experience and the least amount of strains on my hands while typing.

That's why I've gone from row stagger and qwerty to Ortholinear. I switched to that because it makes sense to me that your fingers move up and down better than they move laterally. Lateral movement like in a row stagger layout is more strain since you have to stretch to reach keys. Qwerty also never made sense to me since alphas aren't optimized based on location but rather purposefully unoptimized as a hold over from the typewriter days in order to slow down typists to help stop keys from jamming.

When I was on my Ortho boards I learned about layer switching that allows for keys that are further away to be moved under my fingers by activating a second layer. This was when I moved from my 60% Ortho to my 40% Ortho.

After that I got interested in ColemakDh since it fixed a lot of what is wrong with qwerty. So I decided to learn it. Then I got real into column stagger and wanted to try my hand at soldering. I ordered the parts to make a board called a Cantor Remix. I had enough parts to build 2 and did that. Building my own keyboard from basically parts and programming was a lot of fun and I got bit by the bug.

It's a dumb argument since most people don't care but I believe that something like a column staggered layout and something like Colemak or Canary should be the standard keyboard format. It's hard to relearn typing all over again as an adult so the default is an archaic row stagger that feels unnatural and a very unoptimized alpha layout. I know most people just don't care and I hyper focus on stuff so it's just something I don't bother telling most people, unless they ask of course.

I don't think everyone needs a bunch of keyboards but I'm on this weird journey to find what feels the most optimized for me. I'm deep in the rabbit hole lol.

If you haven't been tainted by the mechanical keyboard hobby, be aware.

I started with a TKL with Outemu blue switches just to see what the hype was about, then moved to Anne Pro 2 with Gat browns.

Ortholinear made sense so I got an XD75 followed my a Planck after getting curious about 40% boards.

Now I make my own from printed PCBs and soldering, custom programmable firmware, and my own custom key map.

I now use a split column staggered 34 key board with hand dyed keycaps and custom aftermarket switches.

I own 7 boards now and have plans for at least 2 more and a partial split for gaming.

Greetings! I'm also considering purging my lemmy.ml account and just subbing to the more mainstream comms from there that I care about on this account. I've very much realized I'm not missing out on the content from the servers that are hostile towards or defederated from lemmygrad.

I will so deeply miss the fantastic content of the lemmy.ml memes comms though 😭

As another comrade stuck in one of the more facisty parts of the South, welcome!

I felt this when I was on Lexapro for my severe depression. I gave up on jumping through hoops and weened off because I didn't also need micro anxiety attacks from feeling like I was gonna run out of meds while waiting on bullshit red tape theatrics.

Cool and I propose we make the minimum wage a living wage instead.

I only used GitHub because it's an industry standard. It's on my resume and most places I'm applying at knows GitHub. I can try and get an apk made of what I currently have once I get those last few things sorted out and send that your way.

It would mostly be just testing accuracy of the translations since that's the only real feature. I guess testing on multiple screen sizes too but I've tested on 3 sizes so far.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will do!

I was meaning for another app idea. Just make a normal translation app lol.

I just checked out DeepL and it seems pretty cool. I like that it offers alternate phrases, even if they don't read that naturally. It's missing one language I need in my app which I guess is understandable since it's already an AI model translating 30 other languages into natural text. Paid API usages would be cool in a regular translation app. Maybe I can tackle that. Like have a box that you type in in your language and have a another with the selected language translation, just so you aren't limited to canned responses?

Lol thanks! I still don't quite know what I'm doing. I need to definitely finish going over viewModel and revisit how scaffolding is supposed to work.

Kotlin is definitely weird compared to what I've done in the past but I think I like it.
