@allinone0@fosstodon.org @tw0shoes I have heard that Qwerty is a better layout for phone use / typing with thumbs etc. Maybe this is because it was designed to keep keystrokes physically distant, preventing typewriter bars from colliding back in the day.
Dvorak in some cases (or many maybe) tries to keep keystrokes nearby, and maximize use of the home row (note that the home row has the vowels AOEUI).
I don't know if that's why Qwerty is recommended as a phone keyboard, but fun facts.

@benjaminhollon @allinone0@fosstodon.org Colemak does a good job at that.

@allinone0@fosstodon.org @rudolf Many emoji are a bit off the wall anyway.
I feel like I can't do without basic facial expression emoji though... I do like those.
But I can use emoticons though :)

@rudolf @allinone0@fosstodon.org Huh there are multiple keyboards named Simple Keyboard on F-Droid. I already had one installed, now I'm trying the one you linked — I like it better I think. Seems to work better, but no emojis though
Also no text correction :(

@allinone0@fosstodon.org I do the same thing with the b key

@dusnm I sometimes blame the compiler and libraries for errors that I think I *must* have not made. Someday I'll stop. Or not.

@allinone0@fosstodon.org @redeagle @markusl Glancing at it I thought it was a Bendaroos creation on someone's head.

@tulpa@fosstodon.org @allinone0@fosstodon.org At least on Ubuntu (which PopOS is based on I think), `/snap/bin` (was it? Or `/snap/exports` maybe? I'm away from my PC rn) is in the environment variable "PATH", which you can view with this command: `echo $PATH`.
So you shouldn't have to use the snap command to run it; I suggest `ls`-ing the mentioned snap folder.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @allinone0@fosstodon.org Sky blue used to be my favorite color, but now I don't really have a favorite, I pretty much like all hues.
Also I've found that the word color is a bit ambiguous; sometimes people mean *hue* and sometimes not 🤷‍♂️

info request, atrocities, computer ethics 

I'm not meaning to start a fight BTW 😬

@RL_Dane @1dalm (Bodily autonomy of the mother, the fetus/child, or both?)

@feditips Honestly I wish it would show the whole name every time, only shortening consecutive times in the same post or thread. The way I view it, the server is part of the name; having the whole name would help me tell them apart across different posts etc. 🤷‍♂️

@tulpa@fosstodon.org Odd place to say that XD

Desiring less garbage has been a big motivator in my computing journey.
