I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 shortly after release and got a popup from Bing over the game asking if I wanted to enable Bing in Chrome. I immediately blocked bing.com on my network. Never looked back.

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

Pretty attached. My parents picked it.

If I could just be "Bill" everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.

I still read it but I stopped posting as soon as Elon Musk bought it. I'm not creating content for free for a billionaire (derogatory) fascist. I'll tweet on Bluesky or Mastodon occasionally and still call it a tweet and if I want to say something longer I've got a blog nobody reads and if there's something I want to chat about there's Lemmy.

That's a coincidence, I was drooling over this exact keyboard just this morning. I like a numeric keypad in the office but most keyboards are just a little too wide. Hope you enjoy it. Which switches did you go for?

I used Tidal for a bit and quite liked it, though it has quite a few gaps in its library compared to Spotify and YouTube Music. I signed up for Dolby Atmos music, which was hella cool but I blew through all the Dolby Atmos content I wanted to hear before the 30 day trial was up.

Quality wise, as others have said if you're using standard Bluetooth SBC it doesn't matter anyway. If you've got decent gear and actually use it then it's worth paying for Hi-Fi but that's not most people.

Free trial though. Can't go wrong with that.

Yeah but it's free advertising on Lemmy and there's only like ten of us here.

I used to like that. I got to browse cool and interesting content from all kinds of different sources while also being constantly low-key horny. When they took porn out of r/all is the day Reddit died.

Exactly that. Royal Kludge makes one.

I think it's a good layout. I have a tenkeyless at home and for some tasks I definitely miss the number pad more than I'd miss the arrow keys, especially since the number pad by design doubles as arrow keys and always has. I've seen even smaller keyboards that have numpads but not the number row, which would also be sweet. Reclaim some vertical deskspace as well as horizontal.

You can still get some mechanical keyboards with numpads but not arrow keys, though since these are variations on compact layouts they tend to omit the numlock key as well.

Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it's your password, but I just see **************.

It worked! It might not look like stars to you because it's your password.

 

Hi. The app looks great but it's unfortunately unusable with a mouse in Samsung DeX. I don't know which of those is the problem, maybe someone has a bluetooth mouse to hand and can check? It only scrolls a few pixels at a time and grabbing with the mouse cursor (so clicking and dragging) doesn't seem to work at all. Thanks.
