  • This is actually the route I’ve been inching towards. I’ve started getting my veggie burgers with just veggies and will make a slaw for my tacos and I’ve been missing it less and less. I’m mostly gonna treat it as part of my “vegan junk food” list hopefully going forward.

    But like I’ll still use nooch for like my pesto and such lol. But my pesto recipe is one of those things where you can’t even really tell it’s vegan imo.



  • So I’m at work so I can’t do quite the write up I’d like to.

    Here’s a database of a lot of keymaps that have been developed: https://keymapdb.com/?keyCount=1-36&stagger=columnar

    and here is a write up of homerow mods: https://precondition.github.io/home-row-mods

    Homerow mods are hard to zero in on but if you can get used to it, it’s really nice. I get misfires but it’s not that often. An alternative to HRM is One Shot Mods. I’ve seen it around but haven’t used it much but the idea is that a key like Shift would get buffered and then attached to the next keystroke, so fer example, tap Shift and then release and tap a for a capital A. Some people swear by it. I personally just stuck with HRM. having Ctrl and Shift in homerow, under my fingers and saving pinky strain has bee amazing.

    For the database like, check out bsag, kkga, and callum for some other tiny board layouts. There is a lot of smart stuff in there. Hypership is one I keep looking at and can be found here: https://keebogram.pages.dev/hypership/

    My personal layout is a weird amalgamation of Miyoku, kkga, and a this write up for my symbols: https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/symbol-layer/index.html

    For something not Colemak, look into Workman, Canary, and Hands Down. They take Colemak’s ideas and seem to try and fix the trouble spots. For example, Canary takes the last remaining lesser used pinky keys and moves them to the inner lateral column for index finger. I really wish I had the time to learn Canary because I think it’s probably as close to a good layout that typing in English can probably be made. Colemak does a lot of good but it benefits from still having quite a few keys where they are in QWERTY so it’s easier to pick up.

    I tried linking my keymap but Lemmy’s being dumb.




  • Absolutely. I would do more volunteer work in a heartbeat. The moments I felt like I was actually helping contribute to our society was cooking breakfast for our unhoused community. I mean in a better society we wouldn’t have food insecurity so that volunteering would go elsewhere but can’t we just use our free time to just help people? Nope, we gotta stress about working and trying to not get fired.
