    Current work: https://gitlab.com/golemwire/subsky/-/commits/itemsys There&#39;s a lot of out-of-band development happening, particularly with Itemsys. That remains unpublished (and unfinished).

    Well, I didn&#39;t enter my demographics... something tells me that if I did that I&#39;d be opting in to down-ranking myself :/ #DEI #LinkedIn

    Once you get deep into the world of logic and computer science, you wonder how existence works. When does something in a simulator program really *exist*? #ontology #philosophy #computerScience

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116409080633916664 Moving Caps lock away from its modern location and replacing it with Ctrl is always a #based move. And I like how having the function keys on the left balances out a little the usual imbalance the #numpad introduces. As usual, I love the huge enter key (deserving!) but the tiny backspace is probably a deal-breaker. #keyboards #computers

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116372275744173493 A pretty clean keyboard layout... but having Return and Enter separate is quite interesting. Does pressing one or the other guarantee a newline in fields where pressing Return &amp;quot;submits&amp;quot;? #ClassicMacOS #retrocomputing #keyboards
