That was… a very interesting thought experiment you just sent me on. I’d never considered this, but it immediately sounds plausible upon hearing it. Thanks for mentioning this “off topic” idea :D

Yeah, code editors really missed the memo that the XDG tried sending out, that (… mostly) works so well on Desktop Linux

Link? And where can I upload a PDF* of the site to share with you? tmpfiles.org’s short duration probably won’t cut it…

*Although I’m certain The Saver™️ would only do full webarchive zips, for us casuals, the PDF export shall do (and be easier in day to day use)

Ah. That is a very neat design then. I thought it was just for the picks, but at that size, it makes way more sense to hold both!

And thanks for the explainer/vocab primer :D

Thanks!

There’s one part you imitate the keys’ teeth with, those are the picks with different patterns visible in the photo.

But then there’s the part with which you imitate the turning movement of a genuine key, and it has to be robust, as it needs to be able to turn the lock while still allowing space for the teeth-aligning-tool from above, so there’s higher forces on smaller surfaces. That’s why I said sturdy :D

And it kinda looks like the longer part in your pic’s pick (sorry :P) in the back, but I’m not sure.

That pick is very sleek! Much lower profile than mine… got a link?

Also, is the, uh, sturdy part (never learned those terms in English) detachable?

Is that fidget self made?

… where have I seen that before? Genius!

Germany, 20s, yes (and up until recently exclusively drove manual transmission cars from like before 2010)
