Ja, besondere "infinitiv mit zu"!

Believe it or not, there are split keyboards out there with a dozen keys or less... It can get way more minimalist than this!

Apparently it's doable with koreader installed or something like that... But yes, that's too much work.

Love that it works on a bag in a tram

Palma is an eink ereader shaped like a phone! Got it during the sale (still ongoing, I think) coz the Palma 2 is now out.

Gah. So tempting. All this tariff stuff is making me make excuses to buy all the things now and hide in a cave.

Gotta try them then! I'm in love with the thock-ness of my MX Boba U4 on the Planck. I heard that it's hard to get that tactile sense with chocs.

I moved everything a row up so I didn't want my palm to accidentally hit anything. I'm not using the bottom row.

I know what you mean. The mid-age nostalgia is, in my case, hitting me hard-- I also bought a Yoto player to mimic the experience of a portable CD player, without the hassle of managing and storing CDs.

Someone on a typewriter sub shared that they place a typewriter in their hallway so that they can type a stray shower thought, a memory, or a sentiment as they walk by. And that's the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Can't wait to have the money and stability to get into that hobby (aka never), but for now, a dedicated writing device would suffice.

Ah, that's cool! My Planck is from the same Taiwanese company. I love these guys. Quality stuff. The main problem I had with the Moonlander was that my thumbs actually don't reach that far and it was causing quite the strain. I also couldn't quite reach the top numerical rows without strain. So maybe that's why this 40% is working so well for me. Glad that you're enjoying your Moonlander!

I have a Voyager split keyboard waiting in the mailbox for me today! Last time I used a Moonlander split key, I had to return it because the layout was too big for my hands. Not sure if the Voyager's going to be an improvement... will share and see if I need to return it.

At work, I use a Kinesis split keyboard that's more or less standard sized.

In other words, no worries, split keyboards rule :)

😘

Ouch, I had no idea about the GPL violation or what that even meant. Thanks for letting me know. I already felt the ick buying a communication device from a Chinese company but convinced myself to push through.... Wish I hadn't.

The small keyboard is fantastic for quick typing though. I was skeptical at first, but am now totally comfortable using it for daily writing.

Layers. Like you would access capitalization by pressing shift, I access a num keyboard on the right (that lights up in blue) when I press a key. You can customize your own layouts and layers and it's quite important to do so with a small keyboard like this. I can type equally fast on this thing, as I set commonly used punctuation marks next to my thumbs and moved the ctrl/tab/shift keys to places that are easier to reach.

Just bought one! So excited!

Thanks! I've been using dotEPUB, but it deprecates most of the long-reads I've been converting.

The Hermes Baby is 420 euros, should I get it? It's definitely worthwhile to support this shop and it's services.

What engaging story-telling (so far)!

I find it refreshing to dissect the underlying rationale of anti-climate change talking points. I suggest skipping bits of the science to dive straight into the analysis if you are more interested in the analysis than the facts about climate change.
