  • They actually seem to be quite educated on the topic. Unlike yourself who seems to think that you’d have authority to speak on this issue because you have a certain passport? It’s really not that wild. I moved here as a first generation immigrant about 10 years ago & I pretty much concur what they are saying. Irish and American Italians in Boston and NJ respectively feel that they have more in common with their ‘home’ countrymen than fellow Americans, just one example. Personally I think there’s also an aspect of “oh I’m not just white, I’m actually 1/8 Irish”. Mind you that’s not what I think at all, why would I have a bias against you if you are white? But it’s almost like I’m asked to view them as more than “white American” when people tell me that stuff after I tell them where I’m from. You can imagine what their answers typically were when I asked about whether they often go back to visit family/home or foods they cook. It’s just ancestry, they have no actual ties to those lands.

    One thing I will say though is that whenever I’d talk about this kind of thing is that people get weirdly defensive about it. Overall I learned just to let them say what they want to say, it’s not worth my energy trying to understand their mental gymnastics as to why they’re actually as Irish as I am Egyptian. They’re not ready or willing to have that conversation.












  • Thanks for the kind words. I try to maximize my keyboard shortcuts as much as I can, but making the jump to interacting with DBs using psql is just intimidating… Then again I used to feel that way about vi and the terminal in general. Maybe all I need is a few more years in and opinions change suppose. I was also looking at the idea from an ergonomics/longevity perspective. All in all I think it’s a good idea to invest into a corne sooner than later but I’ll probably have it alongside my tkl for a while.

    And it’s hard not to compare myself to devs on lemmy 😂 I’ve already learned so much just by being here and in programming.dev (little things, but they add up honestly) but I’m sure a lot of devs have these feelings at some point

    I don’t understand what’s funny. It’s developed with no competition, it’s open source, it’s definitely better than the current options out there and doesn’t cost money. Is it just audio snobs in here? I consider myself somewhat snobby re:audio but even I use wireless headphones. Some grade A snobbery in this thread. LDAC is great. You’re not convincing anyone to go back to wired headphones for day to day use
