A chord keyboard uses combinations of keys, like chords on a piano. You have fewer keys so you can type with one hand. I'm not 100% serious about it, learning curve would be horrendous. But it would be interesting to try. I used blackberry for a long time and I hate screen keyboards.

And yes, looks like I found one while looking for examples :) It's $175 on ebay, bit expensive.

Yeah, that's a lot of work with tools I have no idea with. Definitely a fun project but I don't have the time.

Here's what I want: tiny, one handed bluetooth chord keyboard.

For typing on my phone. Can someone make one?

There are only two reasons to use something other than xscreensaver:

  1. You need other input methods
  2. You don't care about security

Yeah, I don't think you can argue with gestapo. Police is not going to stop gestapo either.

Yeah, ideally you would just use a dumb phone or some Linux phone.

Worst thing you can do is to use stock Android with Google account connected to everything (gmail, contacts, gpay, maps, calendar, play store).

Work profile is a great compromise, a lot better then using an iPhone.

People get addicted to paid apps and services and then complain they can't escape the ecosystem... I never paid for apps through Google, never used Google account on a phone. Programming learning: hackerank, codewars and dozens more available for free on the web. Video editing: Kino, Openshot and banch more available for free on desktop AI chat: Claude subscription Art generator: OpenAI on web Audio editing: Audacity, LMMS and a lot more

Oh, but those are not as convenient as your paid Android apps? Ok, call it by it's name than: you're paying with your privacy for convenience. If convenience is more important to you that's fine, just don't complain about lack of privacy. You can't have both.

Richard Goldberg: aide to US National Security Advisor in previous Trump administration, expert on Iran, wrote press release announcing Waltz's nomination.

Both Goldberg and Waltz work at FDD: https://www.fdd.org/team/michael-g-waltz/

Clearly Waltz was trying to add him to the chat instead of Jeffrey Goldberg, right?

Is it a coincidence that the person who wrote press release announcing Mike Waltz’s nomination is called Richard Goldberg, that he worked in previous Trump’s administration and is an expert on Iran/Houti? Did Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg totally by accident or did he simply confuse the Goldbergs?

The only person in real danger here is the journalist.

Zuck has to be pissed it wasn't WhatsApp.

Signal: so good even people who hate privacy use it!
