It's the socialist salute, which he has absolutely no right to use.

I guess for me would be 3-4 months in covid lockdown, 2020. I live by myself in proximity to family, but some of that family were vulnerable so I wasn't taking any chances. Not a nice time.

Is this the story from a week or so ago re-reported or has he said something else?

Is that an XKCD, what number is it?

I thought it was common knowledge; he donated to some anti-LGBTQ political campaigns in the US which ultimately lead him to resign from Mozilla and start up his own browser. Which is good enough reason in my opinion to avoid it regardless of what ever else might be good about Brave.

As a non-American I don't normally care about US politics or what "literally half of America" think but I am concerned with far-right politics spilling over in to my country. So I would naturally want to resist organisations aligning themselves with those politics, whether they are scandalous to Americans or not.

Why the surprise? My first thought on seeing this was there must be a lot of Australia or New Zealand answers due to the relative geographic isolation of Australia and New Zealand in relation to the rest of the first world.

I've always had it as a backup email so it'll be relatively straight forward to gradually migrate. I meant more in terms of its security/privacy reputation and whether or not a CEO has said/done anything concerning.

Hmm... is Tuta still good these days?

I've been (gently) persuading my friends and family to move away from meta platforms for years; until now mostly they don't care about the concerns I have and obviously I can't make them. Now (this week) is the first time I feel like they're starting to listen so I'm cautiously optimistic. I know a few people who have left Twitter in the last year having been big users (myself being one of them), hopefully the same reasoning will resonate with them again.

I'm the reverse of you actually, as a child it never occurred to me that you could just build the mouse trap without playing the game. So I exclusively played it properly and now I feel a bit stupid.

 

Looking for some purchasing advice.

At the moment I use a Typematrix non-mechanical keyboard which is starting to wear out and become unresponsive. I was really happy with it apart from wishing it was mechanical. A mechanical clone of that, maybe a bit wider, is really my dream.

So what are my options? The mechanical ortholinear keyboards I've seen tend to be of the compact and minimalistic variety, but size isn't my priority I'm looking for something full-featured, preferably with some media keys and shortcut buttons. A number pad or some way to input numbers with a calculator-style layout is essential as my job involves numerical data entry.

Other "nice to have" things I'm more willing to compromise on:

  • I type in Dvorak so blank keys or Dvorak labels would be preferable

  • Hard-wired Dvorak switch is nice to have, the Typematrix has it, handy if I want to switch layouts in software to access special characters without worrying about finding a Dvorak-based layout.

  • Ideally no assembly required

  • I'm in the UK, I'll import if necessary but local availability is better. On that note the 105-key layout is preferred (but not that the Typematrix has that either)

Open to alternative suggestions that ignore any of the above.
