@freemo I went with Colemak after trying Dvorak for a little bit. I found Colemak to be a good compromise of keeping your shortcuts working / not changing too much, while also moving common stuff to the home row. No regrets!

@freemo I would say that pathologizing the way a minority of human brains work is the wrong way to go about it, so if that's what you mean by incorrectly diagnosed, then I agree.

I do think it can be useful to explore how an individual's brain works, and whether they for instance tend to pay a lot more attention to rationality than they do to social norms. Or something along those lines. I'm far from any kind of expert in this area, but I'm learning.

@freemo I totally agree that we shouldn't call it a disease. I'm hesitant to call for reversing the descriptors, but getting rid of the pathology language and stigma seems like the right direction to go.

@freemo that would have to be a Republican then I suppose. I'm all for that party to find its way back to sanity so I can think about maybe voting for them again someday. But they have a long way to come back imho.

It's hard to imagine a Republican winning the 2024 primary who doesn't at least signal that they want to ban abortion and trans health care and increase preferential treatment of the Christian majority. I hope I'm wrong. Not to mention any critical thinking about the harms of capitalism (not that Biden is any better on that front though).
