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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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
