    Yes! Nintype is incredible and is the only reason I refuse to upgrade my phone.

    The big problem here is that devices can not be re-registered. It's a mean move from Amazon, and will make it difficult to re-enable extra features. However, those devices have mul…

    Yes, emacs is equally performant in GUI and TUI. And frames can be opened in both GUI and TUI on the same socket. For me, TUI is a dealbreaker because: - No mixed-pitch support: I …

    Emacs has globally shared buffer state amongst the frames that share the same "base frame" (no idea what this is called) or the same socket (could be wrong here). Anyway, you can s…

    >a lot of cruft Like what? Emacs is written in C and there are ports of it out there (all half-abandoned). Emacs, the way it exists, works very well.

    Startup time does not matter, use the daemon. Opening a new frame is ~instantaneous. I practically live in Emacs and it's not slow at all. It's very zippy, and my setup isn't the l…

    Yes. And once you have the unlock code, you can re-lock the bootloader and unlock it as many times as you want to.

    Depends on the amount of effort you put into them, and the kind of work you do on the computer. Regular users should stick to regular keyboards. Power users (like programmers) can …

    I agree. I've had the same experience. Moved to Colemak on my Corne and can still type ~60WPM on a normal qwerty keyboard.

    Many people (including myself) use small split keyboards and are very happy with them. You don't need a kinesis to avoid wrist movement, DIY keyboards (like the corne) work just as…

    I moved from a regular keyboard (freestyle hunt-and-peck) to a corne (touch typing), ditching qwerty for Colemak Mod-DH. It took me six months to really get comfortable with it. At…

    Same here. Used FF+Sidebery (and Tab Center Reborn before that) for years. ~5k tabs and it worked perfectly. With Chromium/Brave I can open maybe a hundred before the browser croak…
