There are ways to re-arrange your keyboard on Mac. (At least there used to be. I haven’t done it in decades) and there are also apps that bind actions to different keys. The compound keyboards on Mac Laptops can definitely be frustrating if you’re used to a full sized keyboard on your laptop. I’ve always just used USB or Bluetooth keyboards for when I’m at my workstation. The Nano seems like a cool starter laptop but I get not wanting to use it as your main computer.

how the fuck do you mac nerds live without a dedicated delete key im losing my mind here

@bbysoulambs @GermanCarranza3 Glory to God!

today i am getting baptized as an orthodox christian. glory to Christ forever

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

Signal acquired! 📡 Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.

The hatch is now closed. The Artemis II astronauts are now strapped into their seats and ready for launch.

@coinkong I can hang on to it for a while if you need 😜

Wonder where this goes now.

@supergirl @IMAX So, Super Girl is John Wick with super powers in space? Count me in!

This Summer, find your place in the universe. #Supergirl lands in theaters and @IMAX June 26.

Your biggest competitors are probably not operating out in the open. They're more than likely working, head down, in private. You probably won't see them coming. Are you doing the same?

@GamewithDave Warcraft II & StarCraft

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@coinkong Hopefully health insurance too 🤣

When you have life insurance but not car insurance 😂😂...

@charliegreenman @JamesonCamp Space is an interesting application

@nease @JamesonCamp it's multi-purpose, no regulations in space etc. it will find value

$5,000 an hour. for sunlight. from space. a startup putting 50,000 mirrors in orbit to sell sunlight anywhere on earth I thought this was the dumbest idea Ive ever heard then it clicked - firefighting aircraft get GROUNDED every night at sunset. pilots cant see terrain. fires burn unchecked for 10 hours straight. and heres whats wild - water drops are 60% more effective at night. cooler temps. less wind. but nobody can fly. light up the fire line from orbit. let them work. the US spends $3-5B a year fighting wildfires. this is a rounding error. - a single late frost in Napa or Florida citrus can wipe out an entire season. $854M in frost losses last year alone. but the crazy part - the real buyer isnt even the farmer. its the crop insurance company trying to avoid a $500M payout by spending $50k on a few hours of orbital sunlight - fog costs London Heathrow over $100M a year in delays. fog burns off when sunlight hits the ground. you speed that up by 30 minutes and the value per hour is $500K-$1M. $5k/hour is pocket change - military forward operating base at night? forget night vision goggles. just light up the whole compound from space and go get it - 4 million people above the Arctic Circle live in MONTHS of total darkness. depression. productivity drops. everything slows down. you could give entire communities twilight during polar night - 150,000 babies die or get brain damage every year in developing countries from jaundice because the cure is literally just light and they dont have electricity for it. beam it down from orbit. no power grid needed. I went down this rabbit hole for an hour and every use case is more insane than the last 260,000 people from 157 countries on the waitlist. each dropping $1,000-5,000. Sequoia backed them - first space investment since SpaceX. the Air Force already signed a contract. mirrors weigh 35 lbs and theyre the size of a basketball court. 4-10x brighter than a full moon. built by a 28 year old ex-SpaceX engineer. this went from "dumbest thing Ive ever seen" to holy shit in about 10 minutes...

@charliegreenman @JamesonCamp I’m not talking about existing technology, it would need to be developed, but so would these space mirrors. I just think we can put that $$ into developing better tech that doesn’t include such negative potential environmentally. But IDK 🤷🏻‍♂️…

@nease @JamesonCamp Doesn't light up surrounding areas. Fire line work done at night, but lighting an entire area means can move much faster. Also means can use infra. AI satellites from space x light from space to comb over square miles to see if any fires at night

@charliegreenman @JamesonCamp Equipment is light and can be embedded in existing equipment that is already with you. HUDs in fire masks for example….

@nease @JamesonCamp have to take equipment with you. fires move fast, light travels faster

My oldest daughter begs me for a phone. I refuse to get her one until she is MUCH older, and even then it will probably be an old school flip phone. My kids get bored. Then, they choreograph dances, learn to stand on their heads, write plays, create characters. Boredom is one of the best gifts I can give them.

I once saw a couple practicing tango while stuck on a long layover in an airport terminal. The thing about our gilded cage is that it actually isn't that hard to break out of, especially in these moments of waiting and boredom. This is why the invention of the iPhone was so dangerous: it effectively eliminated all of the little things that happen when you're bored which are where greatness is developed.

@richardrohlin I'm new to Hermes... what is it?

@titMcGrit2 They should just make the sequel instead.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

@elonmusk Remarkable!

Neuralink is restoring speech to those who have lost the ability to speak

ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life. Watch to learn more:
