That is a far more funny acronym. Especially for a Frenchy like me, since my peoples often say of the ones controlling such big corporations, "they have fangs so long, they scratch the floor". (Well… "They scratch the parquet", to be exact. But who care if the floor is made of wood or not at that point.)

Except the team behind Waze was merged with the one behind Google Maps, they just keep the two apps separated (for now) to prevent any backlash. Same with Doubleclick and Google Adds. (In fact, I've got the impression Doubleclick became nothing more than an alias for Google Adds. And for quite some time, I might add.)

Except all of Alphabet entreprises have a name starting by Google. (Or at least strongly evocating it, in the case of Gmail.)

We can't say the same about Meta. Instagram isn't called "Facebook Gallery", and Threads isn't called "Facebook Short Messages". (And Oculus didn't become "Facebook VR", just Meta.)

Can't say I find this surprising, especially not coming from a #GAMAM. (Formerly #GAFAM)

Good teachers do it, both in history and french class, but that’s often an overlooked part of the teaching plan. In part because our government ask teachers to teach more and more things a year, and no days are added to said year. (The teaching about religion, I mean. Teaching religion is still illegal in public schools, and must be optional in privates ones.)

Also, the "peoples" who govern us might prefer us ignorant of those things. (And many other, to be honest.)

One morereason to like the fact France dont have any lesson on religion in its schools. (But let's be honest, there is also a aweful lot to dislike in our schools.)

I prefer wired personally. As for product availability, I live in France, so it depends on what is easily available in my country.

Thanks for your great work.

Concerning the lacks of pin on some controllers, the function row could always be folded in the numbers row and made acessible via a function key of some sort.

We could also make it so pressig the two shift buttons simultaneously is how you lock into upper-case letters. (Another double-shift to unlock.) That would let us remove the rightmost colum too. (I only need the upper-case lock from it, and I don't need it there specifically.)

Thanks, apreciated.

 

Hello to all keyboard enthusiast here on the Fédiverse.

For the longest time, I have used a TypeMatrix 2030 as my daily driver, most of which was spent daydreaming of finding a close approximation that would be mechanical. Failing to find one, I procrastinated in researching how I could build my own, which was an error.

Now, my good old TypeMatrix is showing signs of dying, and I still don’t have even started on its mechanical replacement. So, I would like help and counsel on how to make one.

I don’t need it to be identical, (I don’t need the rightmost column on the actual TypeMatrix, for example) but I DO need the middle column with “del”, “backspace” and “enter” keys.

Would anyone be willing to help me, please?
