ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works in c/support@beehaw.org
[–] AbstractLinguist@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t know what the path forward is for this platform, but good grief, I’m out. It’s slow, it’s impossible to set up new communities, it’s rife with political misgivings about the founders (justified), and most importantly, it’s just not fun to use

I’ll be at squabbles.io if anyone needs me

What's everyone's thoughts on split or tented keyboards? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] AbstractLinguist@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

The Microsoft Sculpt keyboard is my perfect keyboard. They discontinued it a couple months ago, but you can still find them in Amazon. Tented and split (though it’s one solid unit, so no customization) with a separate wireless numpad for exactly the reason you described. Typing on anything else makes my fingers go numb after about half an hour.

Still thinking about trying a fully customizable one someday though, but I’m not sure it’s worth the expense for me

Don’t worry, she took it off like 2 seconds later

Testing the waters here (beehaw.org)
 

So there appear to be two brand new guitar communities, one here and one at midwest.social. I think we're all probably getting used to how the fediverse version of this kind of social media works, so maybe two aren't necessary?

Anyway, posting to both to see what kind of traction/interactions I get

This is a recent build I did, and it's super fun to play:

  • Warmoth neck
  • Nomoonlaser body
  • Bootstrap pickups
  • Hipshot tuners
  • Fender hardware otherwise, though the pickguard is from some random dude on ebay, and it thankfully fit perfectly.

Offset tele build (beehaw.org)
 

Mostly trying to figure out the best way to post here. Tried a direct upload of a photo yesterday, and it just ground to a halt.

Anyway!

This is a recent build I did, and I love it

  • Warmoth neck
  • Nomoonlaser body
  • Bootstrap pickups
  • Hipshot tuners
  • all other hardware is fender. Though the pickguard is some random dude on ebay that thankfully fit perfectly

I'm mostly trying to figure out the most efficient way of posting pics in these communities. I tried a direct upload yesterday that failed.

Anyway, this is a recent build I did, and it's become one of my top two guitars.
