#voyager

#StarTrek #Voyager is so frustrating. I can't even enjoy a feel-good episode (Neelix's lungs have been removed) because Neelix is being a Toxic Boyfriend about it smh.

Hear me out, Voyager would have been INCREDIBLE done Discovery style. Real bad guys. Real budget. Real season-long plot arcs to make something of the Year Of Hell, consequences instead of 90s episodic bullshit. And ideally, more than two personality traits per crewman. And triple the amount of time Tuvok is on screen.

A few weeks ago I set aside my #ZSA #Voyager and considered switching back to Apple keyboards full time.

The reason: I want to use home row mods on my Voyager. But I couldn’t teach my fingers to stop rolling from, say, S to T. With home row mods, with S doubling as Alt, that often resulted in † (Alt-T) instead of st.

But now ZSA has added Chordal Hold to their keyboard configurator. blog.zsa.io/chordal-hold/

This fixes the one annoying problem I've had with my otherwise lovely #ZSAVoyager.

blog.zsa.ioIntroducing Chordal HoldHome-row mods users, rejoice!

Love my #Voyager from #ZSA. Now waiting for switches to arrive. Ordered Ambient Twilight so I'm really curious how much of a difference I'm going to see. Switches which came with the #voyager are a bit "stiff" for my fingers. I had Khail MX Brown ones in my old #ErgodoxEZ and those felt like a tank. Let's hope that tarrifs and all that mess which is now in the world won't block my delivery from Canada to US.

@mrundkvist this is a paraphrase from 'the farthest', a fascinating pbs documentary that i hadn't seen. thank you for providing the spark for me to seek it out!

… [A]t the time, the biggest computers in the world were comparable to the kinds of things we have in our pockets today. And I'm not talking about a cell phone — [produces item from pocket] I'm actually talking about a key fob.
