That's a very good idea.Beside the number of permutations it gives, another benefit of using three words is they could form the border of the QR code, with the fourth side being the domain name
My biggest bugbear relating to this is the lack of a short text alternative for QR codes, especially with long URLs.If the URL is too long to fit into a QR code, then it's also too long for me to type in manually!
When I think of dotfile management, I think it means handling standalone config files that are a few KB, intended to be user-editable, and are probably not changed by the running program itself.
I don't think the Firefox config files meet those criteria. I don't know, because I just leave them alone. I think a better tool for managing Firefox config would be to sync your profile, either through their servers or by self-hosting a sync server
I'm really grateful for the introduction to deceptive patterns here.I was not aware of it, and I think it's important to have language that can describe specifically how tech companies are trying to coerce people.
Even if English didn't completely switch over, there are some fascinating possible uses for something like Shavian as a second alphabet. For example, it could be used as a pronunciation aid like furigana in Japanese, or in a novel it could be used to represent speech, and capture the accent of the speaker.Well it's fun to play around with anyway!
I've been using it for about two weeks now, and as a British English speaker, I feel it can capture my accent when writing the vast majority of the time. My minor complaints about it so far are the places where I feel it isn't unambiguously capturing my accent (the other commenter mentions 'R's, that's one of the issues).Perhaps another important metric to measure it by would be whether people can reliably hear my accent when I write too.
I looked a bit into Quikscript, but I think that with the traction that Shavian has (unicode support is a big deal), and the fact that I'm not particularly interested in writing by hand, I thought Shavian would be a good start.
There's a 1920 x 1200 non-touch display option, which will surely get you better battery life than OLED. But what's most interesting about it is the 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate, which Dell says is a first to for this model. That extremely low refresh should help save power when static images or text is on the screen.
Ah yeah, I should have read the rest of the article. I didn't know about that feature though, that's cool
Nothing to add to the other comments except to say that if you're thinking of silent switches, test them first!When I was looking for a silent keyboard, I went to a store and tried some silent switches, and the typing experience really wasn't for me.
