My dumb self went off to the comments section looking for a user called Big QWERTY
I am also waiting for big mo
😂
Even the Linux nerds who customize everything about their computer are probably still using the QWERTY keyboard layout. I’ve seen a lot of “arch btw” but never seen “dvorak btw”.
I use colemak-dhm btw
I use Dvorak btw.
Same.
Me too. I’ve used it full time for at least 15 years. Can’t touch type on a qwerty layout at all
How do I make Dvorak make sense in my brain?
Typing is one of those things that is just experience. Grab a typing test program and put in the time. It took me a few weeks, starting with doing simple things like the equivalent of jkjlj; sets until my pea brain got the minimal amount of muscle memory to be able to use it in the wild. YMMV but I can still use QWERT as well, but it feels weird and not as natural anymore.
The problem with Dvorak is that it’s English specific. It effectively hampers typing in non Germanic languages. And I’m not about to be switching layouts every time I switch input locales.
i use Colemak btw
Well yeah because I use vim bindings everywhere btw and am not confident I can remap the keys for every application that uses them.
I have a custom keyb BTW.
I use Dvorak BTW.
My clocks are all set to UTC btw.
Did I mention I boulder? Did I mentiI’m on thumb-board btw (on phone)
aptmak btw
I don’t think we’ll ever truly away from hardware QWERTY. There’s too much money in maintaining that status quo.
I’d say it’s got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can’t type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.
Apparently even fewer regularly alternate between formats.
Yeah. It’s one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn’t come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.
It’s funny, because they try so hard to get us to bypass keyboards all together but refuse to improve keyboards.
There is no “they”. Manufacturers respond to whet people are buying, and try to predict where that trend will go. If that trend went towards different keyboard layouts, they’d do it. None of them have any actual vested interest in a given keyboard layout.
who is them?
I use Dvorak on Kubuntu btw.
I used Dvorak today btw, until I managed to navigate to the settings menu with my mouse and finally uninstalled it.
I did try switching, but gradually I also unlearned how to use QWERTY. If only we lived in a world with no hardcoded keyboard layouts… For 5% improvement it’s just not worth it for most people.
There are so many things pointing towards ditching QWERTY - WFH jobs, mobile devices, portable keyboards, even virtual projected keyboards rather than physical ones.
On the other hand, laptops are a bottleneck - even if nobody else uses your personal one but you, they still have to make one with a nonstandard layout (will e.g. Apple ever do that?) - and just bc newer, younger people learning how to use computers for the first time could choose a different layout, doesn’t mean that many will (I mean at the mainstream level).
you can install the Colemak layout in software with one click. Works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. https://colemak.com/ I think if another, better layout catches on it could eventually be printed on devices
Noice:-)
I guess my username is relevant here…
Hahahaha
Can I get the know your meme on this one ? I really wanna know what happened but can’t search " guy jumping dog almost biting his dick meme" .
The dog is shopped on,
Hmm that fooled me lol .
Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy
edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.
I also didn’t understand op at first. And also I agree about the 1 point you made
Does someone have the template for this meme?
