I'm not doing much tech stuff outside of work these days. I've developed a nerve pain problem in my hands that makes typing hurt, a lot. Comes and goes but once it's running, it's hard to put down. I'm chasing it down with my med team but it does limit extra-curricular coding and the like.

Also, I'm trying to figure out how I can personally engage with tech without bringing work home, for or against. All anyone wants to talk about is AI shit, one way or another, and after a work day eye ball deep in it, I'm just not interested (and might risk my job, anyway).

So I don't know. It's all a challenge. But my hands hurt, so back to idly clicking on timberborn things...

If this nerve pain shit becomes permanent, I'll have other accessibility things to figure out and blather about. but let's hope not...

@sungo keeping my fingers crossed as always. The nerve damage can even get in the way of idle clicking after a bit. (Mine was minor but very persistent, and I needed a couple years to make my workarounds stick)

As for the other, man I keep trying but it just keeps showing up. Makes me wonder how folks felt about tulips for a while.

@sungo I feel like the universe is being extra garbage for messing with your hands when you have already had to do so much work to get typing comfortable :P
@pamela the real annoyance is that none of my keyboard tricks will improve the typing situation. because it's the nerves and it's just using the fingers that makes them hurt. so lighter switches, heavier switches, different keymap, different number of keys, none of it matters.
@sungo Let’s hope note. I’m really fucking hoping for you.

@sungo no bueno

Nerves are never easy
