@GerardsGuitar I mean, dogs kind of are strange looking seals. :P

@zod000 @mechanicalkeyboards Thanks! It definitely took a while to get used to. Weirdly, it almost seems like the split keyboard aspect was harder than the ortholinear aspect for me.

@pinball_wizard @mechanicalkeyboards Haha, thank you!

Also, waaaaaaazz uuuuuup.

@mechanicalkeyboards I’ve had this setup for ~6 years now. I don’t think they make the white trackball mouse anymore. The ball also lights up – I don’t think the new models do that anymore, either.

The keyboard has Cherry MX browns in it. This is the original Ergodox EZ model, so they’re soldered in there.

@BlinkerFluid @hedge I agree with your overall point: social networks where you subscribe to a community seem to get more replies (and longer replies) than ones where you subscribe a person. They also make it harder for influencers to take off – anyone’s post has a chance of generating discussion. They deemphasize who the OP is.

Mastodon’s ability to follow those communities is, IMO, a killer feature that I hope more people discover. (Case in point: I’m posting this from Mastodon right now.)
