Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse

I'm interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that's a lot of "boards" in that list. :)

Never heard of any of those brands but I dig the look of the blacked-out one in the middle. Are the keycaps shine-through with per-key RGB?

What do you use for äöü߀ though? I've personally come to prefer ANSI layout with EurKey and going back to QWERTZ / ISO-DE feels off now.

My Daily Driver (lemmy.ca)

Don’t know why there aren’t more Nuphys on here. Chose this low profile 96% as daily driver due to its portability for when I go into the office. Nuphy and Gateron’s new “Wisteria” switches. I love it so far! I bought both this one (Nuphy air96) and Keychron K5 Pro and ended selling the keychron. Just preferred the...

Also using the Air 96 whenever I work at the office and it's really nice. Overall, I prefer the Halo 75 at home but their pre-built low pro keebs are really neat.

For keycaps I am using these XVX doubleshot PBT shine-throughs on mine, like them a lot.

Keyboards for travel

Hi all, I’m looking for a keyboard for travel that will be quiet enough not to bother folks on a train. Ideally I’d like a mechanical keyboard, but I’m curious what experiences folks have with low-profile switches in a quiet environment. My current daily driver (silent switches, a fair bit of foam and lube, etcetc) is what...

NuPhy Air 60 with Aloe switches should do the trick. NuPhy feels and sounds a lot better than Keychron in general, and Aloe switches are light linears that you'll barely hear.

What are your favorite browser extensions?

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything....

@VulcanSphere

Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can't endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.

Yeah, you're right. They try but it's not the same.

Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out "mostly right".

Dark Reader isn't perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)

Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I'm using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.

If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that's fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it's not worth the effort anymore.
But it's possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
