back
<midfavila>
initial impressions are pretty good
<midfavila>
the keyboard layout takes a little while for me to get used to
<midfavila>
i normally don't have caps bound to ctrl
<midfavila>
and the split spacebar with alt keys on the inside is odd
<midfavila>
otherwise layout is comfy
<midfavila>
can use the trackball with a thumb without taking my hands off the keeb
<midfavila>
mechanical switches are okay but they're not my preference
<midfavila>
kalih choc browns are linear, i'm very much a tactile guy
<midfavila>
coming from buckling springs the browns feel mushy
<midfavila>
especially because they have a lot of travel
<sewn>
midfavila: pic
<midfavila>
the design of the caps is great though, i'm not having the usual issues with fat fingering multiple keys that i do on most non-spring boards
<midfavila>
sewn: patience child
<sewn>
sad_plan: I already rebuild chromium about >40 times in one day
<midfavila>
trackball is solid but it's a little scratchy
<midfavila>
at first it bothered me but now there's a pleasant tactility to it
<midfavila>
it's sensitive but not overly so
<midfavila>
the chassis is very very sturdy
<midfavila>
feels great in the hand
<midfavila>
reminds me a lot of old IBMs
<midfavila>
especially with the thick bezel
<midfavila>
the hinges are super sturdy
<midfavila>
there's zero wobble
<midfavila>
they have a huge range of motion
<midfavila>
lid snaps tight almost too securely using a super strong magnet
<midfavila>
but you can still open it with one hand
<midfavila>
my main complaint is that the debian image comes on SD instead of the module's onboard storage
<midfavila>
with more and more debia-family stuff wanted snap and every dependency under the sun and the incomplete partitioning of the SD card you run out of space really quickly
<midfavila>
especially since the image comes with like 1500 packages by default
<midfavila>
performance is pretty decent across the board with the imx8
<midfavila>
the bottleneck is definitely the SD interface
<midfavila>
opening large programs like firefox is notably slow
<midfavila>
not unbearably so, but it's noticeable
<midfavila>
the display panel is beautiful
<midfavila>
although the tty and terminal under sway have very small fonts so it's kinda eyestrain inducing by default
<midfavila>
the suggested ath9k mpcie card works out of the box with no configuration and using the standard crowd supply antennae gain is solid
<midfavila>
haven't installed an m.2 ssd
<midfavila>
build process was straightforward enough
<midfavila>
only issue i had was installing the display cable the wrong way around the first time
<midfavila>
although trying to put it together without magnetized tools made me want to reeducate myself
<midfavila>
took about two hours from unbox to boot but most of that was me cursing after dropping screws
<midfavila>
with a proper setup you could easily have it together in 30min to an hour
<midfavila>
overall 9/10 so far
<midfavila>
i might seeif i can get a custom keyboard pcb printed and populated according to the schematics and then i'll install a tactile switch
<midfavila>
see if even
<midfavila>
that would be sick
<midfavila>
e ink display coming soon:tm:
<sad_plan>
sewn: why though?
<sewn>
sad_plan: because I like chromium :3

oh, I see. discord client
traidare has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]

sad_plan: nono
<sewn>
vencord is a discord client modification mod
<sewn>
there is a client for it called vesktop. it can work in the browser using a chromium extension, or a userscript (which isn't reccomended)
<sad_plan>
I see. and that obviously dont work through webkit. arent there any other clients you can use instead? appart from the vanilla one obviously
<sewn>
wdym other clients? discord?
<sewn>
pfft. discord is so complicated youd lose 90% of the functionality it offers by using alternative clients.
<sewn>
and i would like that functionality due to my position
traidare has joined #kisslinux
<sad_plan>
yes. so all other clients are basically trash, is that it? what position?
ocra8 has joined #kisslinux
<sewn>
yeah so im forced to use the official discord client
<sad_plan>
i see
riteo has joined #kisslinux
<midfavila>
just use bitlbee and rcirc
<midfavila>
with a discord plugin
<midfavila>
then you can use discord in emacs
<midfavila>
:3
<sewn>
midfavila: as i said i like the functionality that discord offers
<sewn>
if anything, id rather write a discord
<sewn>
-to-irc bridge
<sewn>
so i can use whatever client i want without worrying about using the same bugyg client everywhere

hmm
<sewn>
ill think about it
<sewn>
ill give this a shot actually
<sewn>
do i have to self host this midfavila?
<midfavila>
no
<midfavila>
you can connect to public instances but then you have to trust that sysop and you're limited to what their system supports
