@zackfreedman I personally want to take a look at making my own keyboard, but that would require at least to have 122 buttons if not more and instead of #RGB just have some dimmable monotone LEDs if not EL wire instead.

Ideally with transparent keycaps!
@zackfreedman Also have you considered to use coiled-up, ultraflat #RJ45 #Cat5e or better?
Or #HDMI cable??
You might even be able to use a regular 4p4c #RJ10 cable if your two halves are independent from each other and the primary one just has a #USB-Hub onboard...

@zackfreedman Also #RJ45 has 8 pins so you have another pin to fiddle with!
@zackfreedman But then again call me a weirdo for wanting a @UnicompKeyboard #PC122 with a weirdly modded ISO-#QWERTZ layout.

@zackfreedman @UnicompKeyboard And yes, I am thinking about how it can be modularized now too, thanks Zack!
@zackfreedman Which brings me to another idea: What if instead of I²C it used #RS485 as a bus?

This way, up to 255 modules could be linked together and it would only require a RS-485 - to - USB converter and a microcontroller on every single unit to store configuration and shit.
@zackfreedman In return, a TRRS headphone cable would be sufficient providing 5VDC, GND, DATA_POS & DATA_NEG...
@zackfreedman And the entire installation could be absurdly spread out so even @TaranVH would be able to connect all macro keys with a single USB port...

[We might want to switch to 48VDC with step-downs and an external power supply to allow for a shitton of LEDs.]

@zackfreedman Or at least I would, cuz I'm a #PoE fanboy and I want the #NUCbook to be able to be powered and charged from a 802.3bt Type 4 injector and shit...

Sorry for nerding out...

@zackfreedman Anyway, that's not not a 100% Keyboard, but a 90% Keyboard, since it doesn't have 122 Keys, but just 105!
@zackfreedman It misses several #Terminal keys, like F13-F24 & Print, Record, Play, Pause, Lock etc.
@zackfreedman Also people say I'm weird for prefering monospaced fonts and consequently CAPS LOCKED TEXT, but people who prefer ortholinear really have extreme OCD and scare me - kinda...

Gibt quasi keine Menschen die ohne #Drogen wie #Koffein von 9-17 Uhr durchgängig arbeitsfähig sind.

@Garbaj2 This issue is sadly nothing new: Some #Games [i.e. @CallofDuty:#ModermWarfare3] have certain weapons [i.e. the RSASS] that have no fire rate limit ingame.

@Garbaj2 @CallofDuty Seriously, #MW3 is absolutely unbalaced:
@Garbaj2 @CallofDuty To the point that it allows firing guns faster than they can cycle in real life.

cw: suicide, reactionary bs
[Thread]

One thing that really pissies me off are those facist reactionary "#ProLife" bigots.

And I'll explain in detail, WHY they are bigoted.

So strap in and hold tight...
Regardless if those advocate for the [very facist] idea of de-facto criminalizing #suicide or #abortions, "#ProLife" advocates aka. bigots are not willing to provide even a halfass alternative substitute as a figleaf to pseudo-legitimize their ideas.
I mean, regardless whether or not one person should be allowed to have a say into the health, life and well-beijng of another person is something agrees with [I think #ProChoice is the only non - reactionary-facist answer!]...
