Internet - tell me your recommendations for ergonomic keyboards that work for Mac (ideally split, no num pad, not ludicrious price)
I like bleeps and bloops as much as the next chap, but I’m listening to this new Luke Vibert EP, and I think he’s just left his arpeggiator running and gone for a cuppa.
Crikey. I guess it’s time to head back into No Man’s Sky again: https://www.nomanssky.com/frontiers-update/

Rambling, freedom, subtoot, politics
FLOSS and the idea of software freedom is a political statement. Politics also evolve as humanity evolves.
At it's heart though, you can't go wrong with the idea of Freedom of the Commons over individual freedom.
Freedom means different things to different people. Humanity survives by cooperation, so individual liberty is meaningless if it comes at the expense of others. Like everything it's a balance.
There's a reason for the golden rule.

I think what I actually mean, to be more technically correct, is a hub that will work with both Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C form factor) AND Thunderbolt 2 (mini displayport form factor). I've no idea if it's just an adapter job, or more complex.
I want a docking station hub that I can plug in screens, USB, etc etc, for BOTH my work Macbook with USB-C, and my ancient home Macbook with Thunderbolt. Is there any way?
Is there a word for the style of mobile game that has the “10,000 gems for £100” type monetisation? Other than “whale bait”, obvs.
Oh god, everything is awful and also on fire.
Thanks to Bluey, I have a new namesake: https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Floppy
Boris’s government has taken the Trump lesson on board 100%. “What if we just ignore the rules? Nobody will stop us. What will they do, arrest us? LOL.”
We’d better work out what we *will* do, and soon, because they’re not going to miraculously get less corrupt.
