Where are all these emoticons coming from? I thought we'd picked emojis! Is this msn?
@dominicm just type a : and you'll see the emjois come up, or click the + sign and "add reaction"
@jasonbell mostly just referring to, what feels like, an increase in usage of the uploaded versions that slack supports. Particularly the animated kind.
@dominicm There's every chance that @agile_geek scribbles them on the train to London.
You obviously haven't seen my drawing skills!
I'm just working on the assumption that anything that looks like it's from Windows95 is possibly your doing 😉
@jasonbell if it looks like Gnome then that's more likely
Always impressed with @otfrom 's ASCII art
So @agile_geek are you saying that all @otfrom can create is parens? harsh dude, harsh 🙂
And []{}#
obviously
Just two massive pads with (
and )
on them that you can mash with your fists?
Oh, that’s just the right hand. The left hand is a 2m wide mechanical keyboard exclusively for emacs modifier keys.
Also, hi all, new here. Talked to @agile_geek on a train recently because of laptop stickers blah blah.
@chrjs and you ended up sucked into this inane conversation..... that's teach you Chris!
W00t!
Weren't you doing some Racket too?
I remember someone talking about foot-pedals for extra modifier keys - for proper emacs usage you could modify some organ pedals...
@agile_geek and @chrjs the two of you met on a train and started talking to each other because of the stickers on laptops?
@thomas yep. What are the odds, right?
@chrjs hey, if you just avoid the 18:00 and 18:19 out of KX altogether you can almost guarantee not running into me! 😜
@mccraigmccraig that may sound impressive but, and allowed to say this cos my wife was born there (or some other phrase that hints I'm about to be very un-PC), @chrjs did get on the train at Darlington. If you don't understand why this is significant you've never been to Darlington!
does darlo have a similar profile to donnie or brid @agile_geek ?
I got on the train in London @agile_geek, I was just without seat until Darlington 🙂
@thomas exactly!
I have a new laptop, so I'm travelling incognito for now. Maybe I should get a tattoo...
@korny i have no stickers - it seems my emacs setup was enough to give me away
I have a t-shirt that does a good job of starting conversations with other developers
including a random "CLOJURE, YES!!!" from a passer by in the street once
keyboard talk reminded me of this: https://twitter.com/jplur_/status/834254340277825536
re the keyboard talk. i just built an atreus. was real fun, really recommend. typing on it: i guess that is the more tricky part…
i just kept doing typing tests on http://keyhero.com for weeks
when I learnt dvorak it really slowed me down, but it was soooooo much easier to learn than qwerty
and when you have no keycap labels, looking at the keyboard actually makes things worse
I’m still waiting for http://keyboard.io as well
not yet, almost there. the first 100 test run is going to be done this month hopefully. If that works then they can go full speed on the rest
i see. i am just thinking to put together an other atreus for home. tbh i should cool it a bit and wait until i am really sure i am happy with it and have a stable layout too
haha @mccraigmccraig fair enough
not even the quiet no tactile ones? (what is the point then i guess.. really just to answer my own question)
you can learn to like mechanical switches @mccraigmccraig . I used to love the apple scissor switches, now i hate them
if they were quiet and didn't travel far then i'm sure i could get along with them, but yeah, not sure what the point would be then
that's classic stockholm syndrome @minimal 😬
yeah, if my hands hurt that would probably make me look for something else, but happily they don't
i’d say liking apple laptop keyboards is stockholm syndrome because you have no other choice 😉
my atreus uses matias switches which are ALPS like the old apple keyboards so they used to know what they were doing
mine too. really like them. only hate the nonexistent keycaps situation for matias switches
some came up here, 3 days left $20 https://www.massdrop.com/buy/alps-keycaps
i don’t have confidence that i could take the blanks off my atreus without breaking it though
Always morning when you join, always evening when you leave. I’ve always loved UGT from back in the early IRC days 🙂
