For example, I'm sure the average joe doesn't know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

It's infectious too. I REALLY want to get good with one! and don't get me started on the absolute craziest style: chorded keyboards! Insane!

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried one? I’ve been pretty curious about them

[–] demesisx@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago

Not yet but I am seriously considering building a badass ergo keyboard at some point once I see a good enough design to copy.

I wonder if someone could outperform a Stenographer with a chorded?

[–] Davel23@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Steno machines are also "chorded", and they type in a form of shorthand where sounds, words, and phrases can be represented by just a few characters. My guess is that given equal skill levels, a steno machine would still be faster.
