@derek i was wondering what it was like now since brexit! makes me wonder if smuggling happens to avoid the new tariffs and such

slouching like this defeats the ergonomic benefits of the keyboard, you say? maybe, but i'm still typing with my chest open instead of closed, forearm alignment is more relaxed, hands are draped rather than hovering. will def have to watch out for back/neck stiffness of course

slouched split keyboard setup: a "lucky pucker" tripod adapter kit off etsy and some "octopus"-style tripods to mount the moonlander keyboard on. stuffed the tripod legs between the cushions of the chair, adjusted, and presto. (trackpad off to the side on a tablet arm thingy)

now we're cooking with gas!

found a “dossier” folder-cover notebook prototype i handbound at a brant archives workshop a few years back. i still like the concept!

@barefootstache hey, wasn't sure where to send this, so apologies if this isn't the place... but does qoto.org not support the elk.zone client? elk is (was) my go-to desktop client for mastodon, but now that i've switched to this instance i can't log in to it. (either says "Can't connect" on the domain autofill UI, or "ERROR: TypeError: Failed to fetch" after. doesn't happen with any of my other instance tester accounts!

looks like trash, but i can now keep working with a cat napping on me!

anyone else had repeated errors trying to log in to elk.zone the last few days?
