I am 1000% a topre convert. The HHKB layout also just makes so much more sense than the typical 65% QWERTY layout which I'm generally used to
Just got an HHKB professional classic with my holiday bonus at work, and omg it is sooo good!! Like, this is my first exposure to topre switches, but this might be my end game now. I don't think I am gonna want to use anything but topre now.

I took the political compass test and scored very near you. It had some interesting takes on what is considered economic vs social. We're a little bit different, but spot on for autonomy. Lately, I've come to believe that capitalism could work fine - if the wealth were distributed. And yes, paying employees a fair living wage is a large part of that, as is in Japan. Instead of squeezing us to death like in the US.

Makes sense! I am also very open to changing my mind on pretty much everything, as keepng an open mind is important to me. I'm a little jaded about capitalism personally, but I think it could certainly be improved without a totally new system

On 8vals, I'm like 5-20% away from from everything you got, but still pretty close. Although I opine that govts should be subservient to the people, and corporations to govts, I otherwise try to avoid having a big list of "shoulds" and try to support concrete specific things (less car dependence, election reform, unions & coops, land-val tax). I sometimes think my opinions are too ill-informed to be worth hearing.

I honestly disagree!! I would love to read your opinions, regardless of how informed they are. I'm hardly an expert in like 99% of the things I state my opinion on, I just try to have read a lot, lol. I think everyone's expressed opinions can have value, even if they don't meet an arbitrary threshold of "informed"

so far, I'm shocked at how usable it is with most of everything I do most days. I can watch videos at 1080p 60FPS with only a few dropped frames if I'm multitasking, can play minecraft at at least 30 FPS, and of course can do word processing and coding. That's pretty much all I do on the computer these days, so its all I need
and as expected, it has one of the best keyboards I've ever used on a laptop, as is the case with all the thinkpads I have from this era. For whatever reason, this particular keyboard feels just a bit better than the other thinkpads I've owned, however. Not sure why.
