I had trouble logging into lemmy.sdf.org from the Android client all day. Worked just now though 🤷♂️.
Just gonna throw one up for the dark mode homies. Good bye rif, you will be missed.
I think it’s pretty easy to assign rare operations to the more unreachable parts of the thumb cluster and be fine.
I find that even with my pretty large hands some of the bigger reaches, like left shift to the rightmost column of keys on the left side, can be a bit cumbersome.
Personally I could never find my groove with the moonlander. I used it for about three weeks and couldn’t overcome about a 30% reduction in my wpm. Worse though was that I could never get programming to feel really good on it. I acknowledge this has much more to do with me being an old dog that’s opposed to new tricks, so I was probably just doing it wrong.
My moonlander has been collecting dust in its box for about three months, which I find to be a shame. Maybe I’ll break it out and give it another try.

Eh, I think it’s just a question of practicing more and practicing deliberately. I don’t blame moonlander really. It’s well constructed, and the split was really nice for opening up my posture vs a more conventional keyboard. I just have to carve out the time to practice more.
I was good at math and science in high school and went to college for Engineering Physics because the school I got a scholarship to didn’t offer more conventional engineering degrees at the time. I ended up not liking it very much, but I finished.
Graduated in the late 2000s into an uncertain economy so I applied for and won a graduate school fellowship. I decided to study computer science. Got a PhD but all it taught me was I didn’t want to be an academic.
So I decided to start a business with a friend while I figured out what to do next with my life. Ended up growing that business for several years and sold it.
I Still didn’t know what to do with my life, but still had to work for a living so I took a co founder position from a hacker news “who’s hiring” thread. Figured I could give that a couple years while I figured out what to do next.
Lo and behold I worked there for a few years and we sold it. The purchasing company offered me a full time job so I took it until I can figure out what to do next.
I feel like eventually I’ll find my career, but I keep putting it off and stuff keeps happening so I guess I’m not in any real hurry 🤷♂️.
I currently do a ppl split. I’ll lift five days a week, do cardio/core for one day, and then rest for one day.
I should probably just do six days of ppl ferda gains, but I really like the change of pace that comes from the core/cardio day.
That day is usually twenty minutes of dedicated core exercise followed by 45 - 60 minutes (depending on how much time I have that day) doing moderate effort work on a spin bike
Agreed on core and cardio. It’s just always felt like a missed opportunity to not get two full rotations of the ppl in each week, but this is working for me so far.
I like the spin bike. I bought a Sunny off Amazon and used two external wahoo sensors to get cadence and rpm measurements. I don’t use that data much though, tbh.
I chose the spin bike because I also just cycle normally for recreation. I have a knee injury from several years ago that keeps me away from running. I do like erg machines a lot, but my gym is a home gym in my garage and I don’t really have the floorspace for it.
I think Cool People who did Cool Stuff is pretty leftist/anarchist.
