that'd be $4400 and $6000

At some point, the populace felt keyboard shortcuts were enough and they have everything else they need on a keyboard. It's the standard, other keyboard designs didn't really quite take off, and most people can barely use a full-sized keyboard anyway.

Some people prefer smaller keyboards, and are willing (and wanting) to have more shortcuts and function layers for ergonomic and desk space reasons.

(If you use a 40% or smaller keyboard, you're weird, and I love/hate you.)

Some other people use so many shortcuts that it becomes so infeasible to remember or press them all, so they get macro pads, or even entire additional keyboards to function as macro pads.

to be fair, americans aren't known for their sharpshooting.

I believe in the eastern world, caramel popcorn is the "default". At least, it definitely is the default here in HK; I've never had salty popcorn until I was in the US.

iOS is probably the worst choice if you want to sideload apps. I would recommend sticking with Android and run your Samsung into the ground (maybe flash a custom ROM?) before getting something like a Fairphone.

Besides, what do you want to be "passionate" about in mobile phones? To me, they're just tools for browsing the web, playing games, and staying in contact with friends and family while on the go; anything extra is superficial.

to be fair, though, 1 and 0 are just binary representations of values, same as decimal and hexadecimal. within your example, we'd absolutely find the entire works of shakespeare encoded in ascii, unicode, and lcd pixel format with each letter arranged in 3x5 grids.

it really is up to how you want to frame the photo and convey the scene. it's an artistic choice, really.

basically, does it look good when tilted? yes? tilt it! line that horizon up with the corners! make a dutch angle, create tension! fix the leaning tower of pisa! the world is your oyster; tilt that too!

hey, in this world of digital, you can always take multiple pictures at different levels of tilt, and even rotate and crop the image in an image editor afterwards.

don't stay stuck in not adding tilt; try things out, experiment, find what you like. if it turns out you prefer the order and beauty in a simple and level photo? more power to you!

Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.
