yes, the third kind of AI user. kind of similar to the three kinds of soccer players: offence, defence, and people who don't play soccer. thanks for the comment!
having gotten over the learning curve, i definitely prefer it over conventional keyboards, but would i recommend it to 99.9% of people? no. people who use these kinds of keyboards have either 1. extremely niche problems, or 2. find intrinsic value in novelty, aesthetics, or diy/experimentation
Also an everyday Corne user and I agree with this take but I'd also suggest that programmers do tend to have very niche problems. They have to type lots and lots of symbols that aren't super accessible on a normal keyboard.
If you're also a productivity nerd who likes keyboard shortcuts and whatnot, these types of keyboards give you (perhaps counterintuitively) a lot more freedom to experiment.
what is your goal? what do you expect would be the pros and cons of linux or mac?
personally, i tried macOS 2 years ago and got frustrated by all the restrictions and differences from linux. i remember wanting to uninstall the default "chess" program, searching around and learning that i literally couldn't without turning off the default security mode, just because there was an off chance that the chess program contained essential code.
That's sad. I've always felt that by engaging in a community, I'm being weird somehow. Even mainstream social media, I don't see my peers commenting anything. When I comment I feel like I'm being weird.
self taught engineers (apparently) wrap their entire blogs in a modal, so that i can't just use the down-arrow key to scroll like you would on 99% other pages. and if i close the modal with the x icon, i get... some big-brained "customize your own view" app, instead of the obvious blog/resume/links page structure you'd expect from a personal website?
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
if you can't think of a way to reliably distinguish AIs from humans, that observation alone should raise great concerns which eclipse "spam comments on forums" or "bad results on google"
