i have no idea why anyone would use this tonal system but that is loving stupid. there's no obvious reason listed on the wikipedia. just some dude in the late 1800s writing poo poo because what else would you do with your time?

like tons of great ideas came out from there but there's no need to try and use every single one of them. humans don't think in base 16 and now you force them to deal with made up "tonal names" for them.

Yeah, but have you considered that we type with QWERTY because other keyboard layouts were too fast for the machines to handle? Like, maybe we're being held back on purpose, and actually the tonal system will free us.

non-QWERTY layouts are kind like bitcoin, actually... normal people don't get why you'd both, most people would gain nothing by using them, it's often incredibly inconvenient (typing on someone else's computer, or having them use yours), and the people who advocate for them are the most tedious nerds imaginable who deserve megawedgies.

Why don't you replace non-QUERTY with 'Jews' or 'black people' so you can understand just how hateful your non standard keyboard bias is!!!

I vaguely knew a dude at uni (he did comp-sci of course) who had everything set up to be non-standard. I think he used DVORAK for his keyboard, some random distro of Linux that was customised and weird as hell for anyone else to use, and he was the sort of dude who had every hotkey set to a non-standard combination, so no one could use his poo poo, but also he'd basically just complain about using any computer other than his own (like provided lab computers) because they weren't "set up right".

At a certain point when do you accept that you're just making life harder to feel special?

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

All of the replies are suggesting complex and inscrutable ways that he may have been hacked / how to protect yourself from the same fate. Even these Bitcoin nerds can't keep their poo poo from randomly vanishing. Very promising for the average consumer!

I used Dvorak for a while at university. It felt slightly better maybe, but it was a pain to use other computers and keybinds in games were a bit of a crapshoot, so I switched back.
