A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn't make sense in modern society on modern devices.

You're being incredibly toxic for a shower thought. Have a word with yourself.

I had a word with myself, I said I don't like my attitude but unfortunately I can't get rid of me because no one wants to work these days. I had to settle for giving myself a slap on the wrist which won't change anything.

It does. But it doesn't need to. Besides, utilizing such algorithms in a QWERTY keyboard produces needless complexity to the algorithm, putting additional load on the processor

Why does it produce such extra load on a QWERTY keyboard?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because the additional axis. It's like the difference between normal chess and 3D chess.

What additional axis? Swiping is always done on a 2D board?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 6 months ago

The vertical axis
