I’m glad to see there are viable alternatives. When the niche subs move, it’s game over for reddit.

Ads should be illegal TBH.

Who needs that in their life? If your product can’t stand on its own merit and you need to bathe swaths of the general public with nonsense to sell anything then maybe your product deserves to fail?

This is why targeted media and advertisement is a bad idea.

It makes it incredibly easy to test people and put them into information silos where what you see is not what I see.

Yeah sucks back in the day on nationalized television one add would run cross country, but at least then you knew it was going to be scrutinized by a wide swath of individuals. Or maybe the segregation of information was not as widely considered then.

But now? We’ve seen how platforms can engage certain people and even cause mental disability through force feeding insane garbage at them. And the rest of us get to suffer for it, while being blissly unawares as to why.

I really like my g915 TKL and there are really two main reasons.

Its low profile so it doesn’t cause me to have intense pain in my wrist from inadvertantly arching my wrist.

It also has a really nice battery life so it basically never dies on me.

The fact that it’s mechanical is nice too.

As for the cons? Well the keys have gone to shit. Bad plastic. Still usable but not nearly as pretty as it once was. Also micro USB. But it’s the same story on the super light so at least they can share a connector.

If those issues could be fixed without loosing the benefits id happily move on to something else. Until then? 915 it is. Don’t use the software either so that doesn’t really bother me much.

Still waiting for solid state batteries to take off, when they can reduce the weight ratio on batteries to 10-30% of their current weight then we will see some real innovations in terms of tech.

Without hobbyists most all new recreational activities just won’t take off. People don’t become professionals and things don’t become usable until those who have more passion and time than sense tackle it first.

My first interaction with reddit was to explain how ballistics work in a BF subreddit.

Man who knew how much time that comment cost me in my life.
