@lynn Also, allow me to share the PUPDEPLOY keyboard which was actually used by our team at a previous job.

@DaleOh It's spelled "Seattle"

@lynn Peak. No notes.

@lynn "actually used" is applied loosely here, it was mostly a collection of hotkeys and shortcuts, but it DID do stuff

@ifixcoinops@retro.social @tommi@pan.rent @fraxinas@chaos.social Can someone help me distill this? I'm afraid I'm a bit out of the loop.

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe @kieran@hom.ph This is the most Mastodon toot I’ve ever read.

@GamesMissed @ifixcoinops I'm afraid to ask ,but what do I need to know about Framework, because I had legit planned on getting one at some point.

@leeloo I feel like there are certain situations where a stochastic parrot is useful, many more situations where it is not, and alarmingly few people recognizing the difference.

@calcifer @leeloo I think I agree with the argument that the utility doesn't exceed the costs. But its at best unhelpful, and at worst self-sabotaging, when the discourse forbids acknowledging that that utility exists.

@jwcph I've had the benefit of being fairly isolated from this kind gross over-dependence, and most of the people I've met who use these tools seem to have a realistic grasp on the scope of the problems they're trying to solve. I'm glad I got to experience some struggle and growth while developing the more difficult skills of my trade before this crutch existed. The temptation NOT to seems to be pretty poisonous.

@dtl@8bitorbust.info Web browsers interacting with peripherals still seems like alien technology to me...I never really moved past thinking of them as document viewers.

@dtl@8bitorbust.info Yeah I'm not against it, making stuff more accessible is a good thing, it just creates some cognitive dissonance to learn that it exists at all.

@mattcen@aus.social Ah, what a miss, didn't realized they'd done this. To date, Apple had been pretty consistent about "All USB holes do all of the things" on their machines.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social @tommi@pan.rent @fraxinas@chaos.social I don’t think I possess the social media literacy to tease enough context from this thread to make sense of it. It caught my attention because omarchy looked interesting enough to make my “try this someday maybe” list, and it was wild to learn that 37 Signals even still existed.

@UncleDuke1969@universeodon.com I'm glad they have those baskets of extras, otherwise I'd feel guilty buying one.
