A guide to home row mods

precondition.github.io/home-row-mods

What are home row mods? What is a mod-tap? What settings do you need to use? What are the alternatives? And more in this article...

I should get back into keyboards. Did you know I used to make ergokeebs from foam/cardboard and the cheapest components? Regarding the article, I don't think home row mods are a good idea.

We need more of Richard Stallman, not less

ploum.net/2023-06-19-more-rms.html

I’ve spent the last 6 years teaching Free Software and Open Source at École Polytechnique de Louvain, being forced to investigate the subject and the history more than I anticipated in order to answer students’ questions. I’ve read many historical books on the subject, including RMS’s biography and many older writings.

And something struck me.

RMS was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not RMS or FSF. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.
