Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds - lemy.lol

Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

Has anyone been to any kind of convention for nerdy things. Nerds are so captured by the marketing and products being sold that they let it take over their personality and they can’t stop buying junk.
Yeah, this is self-aggrandizement from a group of people who consistently believe they’re smarter and more self-aware than everybody else, when in reality they just lack self-awareness. Nerds will smugly post in this thread as a wall of funk pops and Star Wars slop looms behind them.
I got a curved, split, tented ortholinear monstrosity with a built in trackball and I'm finally done. I get that it's stupid and a waste of money but my hands feel so good typing all day on it

I did too. I didn’t get it to look cool, I got it because I have carpal tunnel and I don’t want to have surgery.

I like the clicky, it allows me to type longer, and I can fidgit with the firmware and do what I want with it.

If I got it because it looks techy then I’d just be a poser
