I first used Dvorak about 4 years ago, starting when I watched a video on youtube about the QWERTY key order, which also presented the Dvorak layout as a (curious) alternative. I stuck with it for about 6 months. I had never touch-typed before that.

I've tried Colemak once, but it just didn't feel right. Well, most keyboard layouts you find are for English speakers, but I mostly type in Portuguese. Since the most used letters and bigrams among roman script languages are pretty similar, sometimes using an English layout for another languages will be fine (like it was for me with Dvorak), but sometimes it won't (like with Colemak).

It's kinda luck-based to find an English layout compatible with your native language, but I found out that making small modifications (like changing the position of some letters) can improve the layout a lot. So I started testing out some layouts and tried moding them a bit with the help of some tools.

After leaving Dvorak, I tried Semimak and started moding it (and moded it a lot). It was pretty fine, and I stuck with it for like 6 months or a year. Since then, I've been using Canary (which, in my experience, is GREAT for Portuguese) and I've done a simple mod of swapping the positions of 'y' and 'm', making the highly used 'm' (in Portuguese) on a very sweet spot.

Now, here's a tip: there are some other mods you can do besides changing letter positions. I've been using the Extend layer mod for a long time now, and I absolutely LOVE IT. It gives you text editing controls somewhat similar to Vim in normal mode, not as powerful, but it works in every program (libreoffice, firefox, etc). Another simple mod you can do is to map backspace on one of the Alt keys, so you can press it with your thumb and don't need to move your hand out of place.

After these years, sometimes I feel tired of using non-standard layouts (like, you need to set it up, you can't use it on public computers...), but whenever I try to learn to touchtype on QWERTY it's painfully weird. I just can't. I can learn other alt layouts, but not QWERTY :(

Freetube is still working for me, I recommend give it a try :)

você não vai acreditar

it is a meme about Baba is You

edit: as described by wikipedia:

The game centers around the manipulation of "rules"—represented in the play area by movable tiles with words written on them—in order to allow the player character, usually the titular Baba, to reach a specified goal.

In each level, the player is presented with a one-screen puzzle consisting of various objects, characters, and movable word tiles. The player is given control of one or more characters or objects on the screen (most often, the player controls a character named Baba, a white sheep-like creature).

In the case of the meme, changing "Boye is You" to "Boye is Win" means that you (the player) is not represented in the game anymore, which also means you can't win.

where cock and ball torture 😔

se não me engano, antigamente o lemmy mostrava o karma dos users, mas os devs tiraram da interface e só mantiveram internamente para possiveis usos na moderação ou coisas do tipo

então o lemmy não mostrar karma já é decisão tomada, e acho muito improvável que voltem atrás

no 6º ano eu fui de uma turma de 10 alunos, era incrível! eu nunca me senti tão próximo dos professores e dos colegas, e as aulas fluiam super bem. falando sério, deve ter sido o melhor ano da minha vida.

a bosta é que foram juntando novos alunos com o passar dos anos e a turma ficou com umas 60 cabeças no final, as aulas viraram caos

Imagina ter aula de "Ação! Está em suas mãos!" e não poder usar o celular na aula. É pra coringar de vez

their pushing the libral agender 😡😡😡

o lemmy.ml já teve esse bug tbm, foi quando tinha atualizado pra uma nova versão (acho que 0.18rc). Eu acho que o bug nem foi corrigido, os posts antigos só foram sumindo aos poucos.

vale notar que esse bug só acontece com comunidades de instâncias de fora. Eu suspeito que seja comunidades recém federadas, e por isso o lemmy ve todos os posts dela como novos

it's in the new update (0.0.36)

hm ehh umm aktually 🤓👆 you should't use degrees when using kelvin

I don’t want to be even tempted to join into these arguments by seeing that they exist. And even if I do ignore them all and don’t get rage baited, knowing that they are there has the potential to negatively affect my mood.

that's fair!

joining a instance that fits you is surely always the right thing to do. But remember that it's also possible to find rude discussions in others instances, so don't hesitate to use the block bottom.

I also recommend to disable the upvotes score visibility at the settings, it can help a lot on reducing social media anxiety

well anyway, welcome to lemmy :)

you don't have to block all of them at once, just keep blocking everytime you find a new one and eventually they'll be all gone :)

I don't think comments from lemmygrad's users should be a problem since they must follow the community rules. If you find an annoying user just block them, annoying users will exist in any instance, unfortunately

I'm not a programmer but there is this open source tool called genkey, which can generate desktop keyboard layouts. Maybe it could be somehow adapted for generating 3x3 layouts.

I hope it helps in someway.
