*sniff* The good old days, when keyboards didn't require 27 space dimensions and 3 orthogonal time dimensions for Emacs' most basic functions.

Analog AI@jerry Where can I order one of those, and is it Bluetooth or USB?
I hear they provide auditory feedback on which key combination you press.

OldTurk๐ฝFocus: #FreePeltier@jerry Iโd hate to see what a vim keyboard would be ;)
Peter Roopnarine@jerry cannot imagine what the original Vi looked like... (let the ๐ฅwars begin!)

xevix@lloydmeta hahaha I wish I were that organized
Brooklyn Ann๐ฅ@jerry Looks like something Jon Lord would play. ๐
Pam Phillips@jerry That's just the layout for the cheat sheet listing my macros.

โ@jerry dunno why I think of mr. Knuth when I see something like this ๐ผ https://youtu.be/P-fFWBo9XYY 
Donald Knuth - Fantasia Apocalyptica (2017)
MadMike77@0rkk0 @jerry Very interesting. I didn't know Donald E. Knuth did also compose music.
He documented it here: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/fant.html
And also mentioned the "Fantasia Apocalyptica" in this interview: https://www.quantamagazine.org/computer-scientist-donald-knuth-cant-stop-telling-stories-20200416/

@jerry this check out @anticomputer? ๐

๐ฒ๐ฆ @jerry I really can't stand the minimalist 40% keyboard fad, sign me up for this 4000%!
@jerry ... and yes, from the photo, that's 4000% while still supporting chording.

Benjamin ๐ช๐บ@jerry I've been told it originally was an operating systemโฆ only after much complaining and due to its lack of one they added an editor.
Guy@jerry Not entirely true. The foot pedals are to toggle between input and command mode for vi without having to take fingers off the keys.

Frank Bennett ๐ฏ๐ต@jerry Before the invention of the Meta key, obviously.
SofaKingHigh@jerry finally a keyboard with enough keys, Iโd have so much automated
Fardels BearAll the vibes of Dr Phibes. Glad you tooted this or I'd never have rediscovered this film.

GreenSkyOverMe (Monika)@jerry Image description: A big organ. It has many keys, pedals and additional switches.
vidbina@jerry goodness so good this. Where is the screen though?!?
Herzleid@jerry Image description:
The console of the world's largest pipe organ, at the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium in Atlantic City, USA. It has seven stacked manuals of keys. The tabs controlling the many, many stops are white and set into side panels that curve slightly around the wooden seat meant for the player.
(Image description lets people with low or no vision participate in the joke.)
Martin@jerry yes only minimal equipped
Nico -telmich- Schottelius@jerry ... and how do you spot it's an early design? It does not yet have a META key!

It also explains why the current generation of generative art AI thinks humans needed 6+ fingers per hand. Emacs keybinding was part of their training set.
Gen X-Wing@jerry Thatโs an awesome battle station. Just need a monitor as well.

Eric Carroll@jerry Bit simplified, innit?
Not sure you get get at all the function with such a basic setup ......

*((char *)NULL) = '\0';@jerry Ah, a minimalist take on emacs!
