A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Yeah but try pressing more than 4 keys at once on the PS2 keyboard and get back to me
That is a limitation of the keyboard not PS/2. Unlike USB which is limited to 10 simultaneous key presses, PS/2 supports full n-key rollover.
USB is not limited to 10, or 6 as is sometimes stated.

Interesting I did not know that.
Well I never had a fancy gaming keyboard back in the PS2 days lol
How about a fancy IBM keyboard? The Model F from 1981 features n-key rollover. Don't ask me why they needed it at the time though. It probably wasn't important as the Model M from a couple of years later dropped that feature.
Dude just switch to vim already
Idk but Doom runs pretty well
Dude, just switch to Webstorm already
Nothing to do with the interface. If your keyboard can only do 4 it means that the manufacturer has cheaped out on diodes and couldn't even be bothered to stagger the matrix enough to make you not notice.
I think you're confusing USB and PS/2. USB has (or used to have?) a limit on the number of keys you could press, whereas PS/2 supports n-key rollover.
USB supports NKRO as well as the default 6KRO.
Historically it didn't support it though, whereas PS/2 always did.
Historically computers only supported punch cards, it feels weird to only focus on past capabilities. https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro
I mean... the post is about PS/2, which is a past capability too.
The site you linked to just shows a blank page for me in Firefox. Works in Chrome though.
Works fine for me in Firefox for Android. Weird. Everyday I remind myself how happy I am that I'm not a frontend dev lol.
Huh yeah, it works on my phone but not on my PC. Not sure why.
Preposterous, I've used emacs on a ps2 keyboard without issues.
I recall NKRO was the selling point on some of those keyboards, my old steel series mechanical will absolutely let you mash all the keys with a ps2 adapter.
Ok, but why would you ever? Genuinely curios.
Video games
Never had issues with it, but fair. Different strokes.
Try playing a rhythm game on a most PS2 keyboards 😟
Also with certain button combinations it was less than 4. You could only hold 2 arrow keys down at a time.
