@xtaran I didn't think of that! Thanks for your input :-)

@onrust @akareilly I mean maybe? I’m seeing a lot of snark and bad feeling about it but maybe we should see what happens?

@Zugschlus i loved an M in the 90s, and was gifted another a few years ago, but my fingers are too out of practise :(

I was intending to tag @xtaran on that toot but screwed it up ;)

@Zugschlus actually I meant the shell colour! ;) the shura has black-or-red options. For my first mech I ended up with silent reds, but before that I was *sure* browns would be best fit. I think butterfly switches have ruined my fingers

I value your opinion on keyboard matters! :) gave you seen the Tex Shura? Is aluminium body an essential feature? Red, or Black? :)

@carlopiana I don’t think we should shame folks tho

This afternoon is the first EVER #Haskell dev room at #FOSDEM

@dick_turpin see also: centos and alma Linux stand proximity

@ttyS1 where are you mostly lurking?

@jwildeboer I’ll try and say hello if I find you !wearing the fedora? I’ll put mine on

New blog post: 2022 in reading https://jmtd.net/log/2022_in_reading/ #fiction

@neil that’s kind, thanks! To my shame that blog draft was started in feb 2022. It was a conversation about Debian today that spurred me on to finish it!

At fosdem this weekend. Who else?

@neil not yet but thanks for the suggestion (also: that was a damn fast response to my blog post, mere seconds!)
