No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Learned Colemak there, liked it. Unfortunately, no support for more niche layouts, like regional variants of Colemak.

Shit, I've checked it and now I'm thinking about learning a new layout. Thanks. Like I didn't have enough things to do...

As a Colemak user I highly encourage people to learn a different layout. The thing that convinced me to Colemak was this: https://www.patrick-wied.at/projects/heatmap-keyboard/

Paste some long text you have written and it will show you a heat map on different layouts to see how the typing of that text on that layout would have been. I loaded a large code I was working on and Colemak was mostly home row.

Not that it matters that much for touch typing but while I can't switch around keys in my external keyboard I can't change it in my laptop. Did you simply accept it that keys don't match your layout and move on?

If you have to look at the keyboard you're doing it wrong. My main board had blank keys, my laptop has the qwerty keys, I just don't look at them

I don't have to look at it but sometimes I had to take my laptop to Desktop support for example and they wouldn't be able to do anything with different layout. I don't have any company laptop anymore so no longer a problem. Was just wandering.

If a support person can't switch keyboard layout, I have absolutely no confidence they can fix whatever's wrong with my machine.

Plus I use a tiling window manager with custom shortcuts, my keyboard is a split with blank keys and I use a trackball. I think it's fair to say changing the keyboard layout would be a tiny step to overcome for anyone trying to use my machine hahahshs
