Keyboard Pr0n: Ars Technica: New buckling spring keyboards re-create IBM’s iconic Model F for modern computers

arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0

I used to use keyboards like this as a kid. We used to play Wizardry on it. We didn't have the internet back then and we still broke the secret codes to his lair.

All because I could type really well. Kids: Learn how to type well.

@louis@emacs.ch Yeah, I figured it was something like that. It just came across as really cryptic. 😀

@louis@emacs.ch I don't even understand the question. 🤣

"Either Justice Thomas is remarkably careless when it comes to financial disclosure requirements that apply not just to #SupremeCourt justices but to large swaths of the entire federal government, or it's worse and that he's actually deliberately withholding this information from his disclosure forms because of what it would look like if this came out." -Stephen Vladeck, professor of constitutional law, University of Texas

Learned some new, maybe basic, #emacs features today!

When coding, try out `M-x imenu` and `M-x occur` to quickly explore / navigate source code you're working with.

@nullifidian @davep I'm downloading them all now and I'll put them on my iPhone for later listening.

Here's a long thread with news organizations that have accounts (NOT bots) on Mastodon. Some are more active than others.

If you know of any news organizations (not individual journalists) that are not included on the list, please let me know.

A few of my favorites are:
@ProPublica (GOOD investigative journalism)
@TexasObserver
@damemagazine (women-led)
@gbhnews (an NPR affiliate (unless I'm mis-remembering))
@TucsonSentinel

@hammancheez @Jedigirl I just could not agree more. I feel the same way. I was expecting this, however. I've learned, a long long time ago, not to have any hope when it comes to these matters.

The fact that this wasn't even a felony case of fraud and sedition against Fox News so that they could not just settle out of course speaks to how broken the system is.

Last toot on this shit I promise (kinda)

All the people saying fox viewers wouldn’t believe it if they had to air an apology miss the point by a mile.

I want Carlson and Hannity and Ingraham and the rest to be forced to say “I lied”

I want the words like ash in their mouths

I want the twisted facial expressions of impotent rage

I want them humiliated and helplessly angry

And I want the gifs on repeat till the end of the internet

Good morning, a lovely cuddly cutie for today. Have a nice day.
As Pema Chödrön would likely say, let's enjoy the present moment and be grateful for it, as it is the key to achieving inner peace and happiness.
