It would be nice to use something like RethinkDNS to block internet connection of these apps you can’t disable. You can also config it to block some trackers by DNS filtering.
2·9 months agoI first used Dvorak about 4 years ago, starting when I watched a video on youtube about the QWERTY key order, which also presented the Dvorak layout as a (curious) alternative. I stuck with it for about 6 months. I had never touch-typed before that.
I’ve tried Colemak once, but it just didn’t feel right. Well, most keyboard layouts you find are for English speakers, but I mostly type in Portuguese. Since the most used letters and bigrams among roman script languages are pretty similar, sometimes using an English layout for another languages will be fine (like it was for me with Dvorak), but sometimes it won’t (like with Colemak).
It’s kinda luck-based to find an English layout compatible with your native language, but I found out that making small modifications (like changing the position of some letters) can improve the layout a lot. So I started testing out some layouts and tried moding them a bit with the help of some tools.
After leaving Dvorak, I tried Semimak and started moding it (and moded it a lot). It was pretty fine, and I stuck with it for like 6 months or a year. Since then, I’ve been using Canary (which, in my experience, is GREAT for Portuguese) and I’ve done a simple mod of swapping the positions of ‘y’ and ‘m’, making the highly used ‘m’ (in Portuguese) on a very sweet spot.
Now, here’s a tip: there are some other mods you can do besides changing letter positions. I’ve been using the Extend layer mod for a long time now, and I absolutely LOVE IT. It gives you text editing controls somewhat similar to Vim in normal mode, not as powerful, but it works in every program (libreoffice, firefox, etc). Another simple mod you can do is to map backspace on one of the Alt keys, so you can press it with your thumb and don’t need to move your hand out of place.
After these years, sometimes I feel tired of using non-standard layouts (like, you need to set it up, you can’t use it on public computers…), but whenever I try to learn to touchtype on QWERTY it’s painfully weird. I just can’t. I can learn other alt layouts, but not QWERTY :(

it is a meme about Baba is You
edit: as described by wikipedia:
The game centers around the manipulation of “rules”—represented in the play area by movable tiles with words written on them—in order to allow the player character, usually the titular Baba, to reach a specified goal.
In each level, the player is presented with a one-screen puzzle consisting of various objects, characters, and movable word tiles. The player is given control of one or more characters or objects on the screen (most often, the player controls a character named Baba, a white sheep-like creature).
In the case of the meme, changing “Boye is You” to “Boye is Win” means that you (the player) is not represented in the game anymore, which also means you can’t win.
their pushing the libral agender 😡😡😡
Latin American fascists will say Venezuela is a hell on Earth and then harass the hell out of the lives of Venezuelan immigrants. It’s just unbelievable.
