It makes sense to stick with something that’s good. I think the small gain going from Colemak to Colemak-DH wouldn’t be worth the struggle.

I use Engram and don’t plan on changing even though I suspect better layouts do exist. The effort is too high for a 1% gain. Lol.

It’s slow to install but I strongly recommend the services of keybr.com They have modes that install those specific layouts.

The DH mod addresses the d and h issues that Colemak has. Long story short, if you type primarily in English the DH mod means you will need to stretch your fingers to hit those keys way less often. More information is here.

As for other layouts, the advice that has treated me well is to focus on post covid layouts. Due to a sudden availability of free time a lot of research was done during COVID on keyboard layouts. Resultantly, post Covid layouts tend to be substantially better than pre COVID. I am a fan of Engram, Graphire, and The Hands Down Family personally.

This all being said these are harder to learn because they completely separate themselves from qwerty/qwertz.

Out of curiosity, why did you go with Colemak over colemak-dh or other layouts?

I totally see people not choosing the lessor used layouts just for convenience sake, but DH is quite common, well supported, and fixes some fundamental issues.

Where do you think I live? 😂

Voting did make a difference. But sometimes brain damage turns people into fascists. Can’t control that. Can’t not vote because it could happen.

Not saying we shouldn’t do both, but in reality waiting to destroy capitalism before fixing the grid just means you have too much theory and not enough praxis.

This is incorrect. Functional code bases exist in many production environments. Twitter (pre musk) migrated their bloated code base TO Scala because functional code bases are easier to maintain and understand.

If you think about it, it makes sense, side effect free code will be easier to maintain just due to the lack of side effects.

That makes sense. Lol.

What? Windows 7 was probably the best version of windows ever just ahead of 2000.

Windows 8 was where the cliff was.

People look back at XP through rose tinted glasses. It was incredibly insecure in every way. Vista made the security architecture changes needed. Windows 7 was polish on top.

Windows 8 was where metro, start menu ads, auto installing unwanted apps, and ruining Windows control panel / settings happened.

I do the same. I still get a ton of posts like this don’t include any relevant key words and still are about musk or trump. It’s impossible to escape.
