ooh that's a good idea. I have wanted something wireless to make it more convenient to do supine computing, so that could be just the ticket.

and cheers to another lefty mouse user!

This is great advice! It took me 2 years and many doctors before I wound up at a physical therapist who figured out my nerve issue in 10 minutes. It was wild how they could move my shoulder and reproduce it. Now I’m working on strengthening stuff to make it better—and keeping the setup for a defense in depth against other issues

The bearings are sooooo satisfying. I would also love to have a wireless one.

I’m a sucker for aesthetics, and that is my most aesthetic spot for photo shoots

The LG DualUp is such a gem!

You may be interested in one of my current projects, I’ll post details when it’s done, but I stripped down a Crossland CC1 and am rebuilding it in an enclosure I can travel with.

I think we’d get along.

It’s a “yes and” approach. I’ve been pursuing physical therapy and medical treatment the whole time as well.

That’s a great idea. I’ll have to do that for the next version.

New comment by ntietz in "The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant"

Various nerve stuff in my arms, limiting my use of keyboards. With an ergonomic keyboard I can get through most days, but I’m having more flare ups lately so I’m doing more voice coding.

I use Talon. It simply doesn’t support Wayland, and I believe its maintainer who says that there are issues with Wayland which make support infeasible. Using it on X makes my nerve pain much less.

I’m in one of the “other smaller groups not included here”: people who rely on accessibility tooling that isn’t supported by Wayland. My options are:

- keep using X and stay healthy

- switch to Wayland and get strong nerve pain again

- switch to Windows or Mac

If Wayland were my only option, I would have to leave Linux for my health. So the technical merits of Wayland truly don’t matter.

Accessibility is an oft forgotten requirement and it’s something that can affect all of us at one time or another. We ought not ignore it.

I had a similar thing happen. I distributed some malware I wrote on the shared drive and had some people run it (it was extremely basic, just locked people out of the computer with no recovery by taking advantage of how locked down they were; but people lost a lot of work). My programming teacher, who was already dealing with me being a distraction in class, went to bat for me so I didn’t get strongly punished but made me clean it off the drive continuously; other students kept putting it back, so I had to monitor for it.

Unfortunately, I think just about any name will have a collision at this point.
