I was recently in on the very beginning of a Thing That Blew Up On Social Media, and boy did it open my eyes.

I knew these kinds of online kerfuffles tended to have a life of their own, entirely separate from the events and personalities that started them off, but I'd never seen one go quite like this. Probably old news to people, but I'd just never been in one at such an early stage.

It grew to multiple camps of people, aggressively pushing various competing agendas, all of them trying to claim that the tiny snowball that got the whole avalanche thing going was Very Obviously Hard Evidence of Their Position, and pushing orthogonal side-issues and dirt into the fight.

Wow.

Waveshare MK20 macro keyboard features twenty mechanical keys with 0.85-inch color LCD keycaps

Waveshare MK20 is a multifunctional macro keyboard with twenty mechanical keys featuring 0.85-inch LCD keycaps. As an upgrade to the earlier MK10 model, it adds a 2.8-inch secondary display along with two control knobs. The device supports AI voice interaction, real-time data display, and smart home integration with Home Assistant. Like its predecessor, the MK20 relies on a dual-system architecture: an Allwinner T113-S3 dual-core Cortex-A7 processor runs Linux to drive the displays, and a GD32 microcontroller runs QMK for low-latency keyboard and knob input. Each LCD key offers 128x128 resolution and supports dynamic images, videos, and multi-layer overlays, while the 2.8-inch secondary display (428 × 142 resolution) provides status or customization information. The keyboard also includes two rotary encoders with aluminum caps for volume, playback, or timeline control. The device is built with an aluminum alloy top case and a 2.5D acrylic lens for durability. Waveshare MK20 specifications: Main Controller – Allwinner

Can’t wait to have this #orthogonal #mechanical #keyboard on my desk and try to squeeze German umlauts and other ISO-DE oddities in.

@Cairn_Devices J'ai vu dans votre FAQ que vous mettiez en pause l'option «clavier orthogonal».
Ceux qui ont pris cette options seront remboursé du coup ?

#37 in the list of things I shouldn't have to say but apparently because this is 2023 I have to be #explicit about.

If I say that your #conclusion is #incorrect because of #faulty #assumptions or because of #mistaken #facts or for any other reasons, it does NOT mean I believe in or am #advocating for whatever the opposite of that conclusion happens to be.

They're #orthogonal.

@ada @ttmrichter #disruptive sucks. Ten people have at least twelve interpretations of its meaning.
I suggest #orthogonal. This way all the dirtbags would be busy looking it up in the dictionary before they use it.
