I mean, I use Discord pretty much every day, and that's what I assumed.

Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? Because I read it, and I'm not sure it should be. by boatswain in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

They're both mass-market pulp that are entertaining to read. There's plenty of sci-fi and fantasy that's literature: Ursula LeGuin, Tolkien, Gene Wolfe, NK Jemisin, Vonnegut... the list goes on.

I've been using Miryoku for almost a year now, and I love it. The home row mods became natural surprisingly quickly. I do still need to tweak a setting somewhere; I tend to leave accidental "j"s around when I get found fast and an going for a capital on the left hand.

I mean, it's Tom Clancy. It's a fun read, like Dan Brown or Brandon Sanderson, but it's not literature or anything.

No sex. No dating. No marriage. No children. Interest grows in 4B movement to swear off men by boatswain in c/politics@lemmy.world

People worry about conservatives just having more kids but realistically they work lower end jobs and don’t have money for that. Imagine raising 3-4 kids in this economy, not many will do that.

I suspect there are a lot of corpos voting red, especially once you get to the C-suite. I don't think it does any favors to anyone to assume that Trump's sweep was just the redneck vote.

Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.

Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this:

There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.

The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?

Thanks!

People don't seriously try to use Kali as a daily driver, do they? That's just a meme, right? Right?

What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth? by boatswain in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I remember thinking that women gave birth to girls and men gave birth to boys, and being really worried because I (as a guy) didn't want to give birth.
