   @racuna @god @ins0mniak @threat That was about half the reason I went with Thinkpads for so long, and was the first thing I noticed when I saw the DevTerm.

     Even Thinkpads no longer have Thinkpad layouts now. Anyway, I used to think like this, so when I started using Inferno, I didn't touch acme much: I figured that anything besides vi would be impossible to use and my muscle memory was going to fight me the entire way and my subconscious tics like periodically hitting ":w\n" were going to get in the way. So I'd edit Limbo programs in vi and then pop over to Inferno to compile/run them. When I eventually decided to try using acme at work, it took me maybe a couple of days to get back where I was. Coding involves way more thinking than typing, so that stuff doesn't matter as much as it seems like it would.
     
     I took my DevTerm when I went out of town for a week to watch my grandfather die. I also chickened out and packed an x220 just in case. I wasn't getting a lot of work done (not in a great place mentally; grandpa raised me, I was pretty bummed), but while I wasn't working, I did spend some time on fedi, some time analyzing the Poast/Baest hack, etc. I ended up not even booting the Thinkpad: the DevTerm was fine for everything I needed to do. (On rare occasions where it wasn't fine, like the wifi at the hospital being way better than the wifi at me mum's place, or having no elbow-room on the plane, it was at least no worse than the Thinkpad would have been.)

     @p@freespeechextremist.com I cannot use computers with non-Thinkpad layouts. It's painfully inconvenient and my muscle memory is looking for mouse buttons under my thumbs and a track-pointer under my index finger. @racuna@freespeechextremist.com @god@3am.ohs.cx @ins0mniak@freespeechextremist.com @threat@shitposter.club
