In Dutch, we have the similar "zoals de award is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten" (roughly "the way the innkeeper is, is how he trusts his guests (to be)").

I mean, yeah, this is pretty easy to toss into my backpack.
I have a slightly bigger board (a Lily58 that I built earlier) that lives permanently at the office. I occasionally use the regular laptop keyboard, just to keep that bit of muscle memory, and switching is usually pretty easy.
Full size boards look weirdly big, though. ๐
Wow, some people will just not hear about living without their ISO enter, huh? ๐
I believe they're absolutely not street legal in the UK, nor in the EU. Those were never "ridiculous sized trucks" Walhalla to begin with (although I see more Rams than I care to, these days), so there's roughly zero chance those things will become mainstream here.
Heck, we have rain here, that's enough of a wankpanzer repellant.
This is a Sweep with choc switches and Nice!Nano knock-offs for controllers.
Oh, you probably mean the magnetic thingies... Here you go!
Actually, it's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, I'd say about โฌ65-ish. That's the PCBs (the electronics prints that you solder the rest onto), controllers, switches, keycaps (both relatively expensive because they're low-profile) and batteries. The schematics are open source. If you want to start cheaper, build something with MX type switches, rather than Choc switches, you can find both switches and caps quite cheap. Or, if you don't want to play "hunt the part on Ali express", there's companies that sell pre-collected (and sometimes even pre-built) kits.
It takes getting used to, of course, but at least for me, it quickly became second nature. So no, I don't miss having more keys, in fact, having a num pad right under my right hand (rather than having to move my hand and arm to the right) is quicker as I don't have to find the right spot twice.
As for quicker... I type about as fast on this as I used to on a regular board, but this is more about ergonomics and comfort than about raw speed.
For what it's worth: I'm a developer-gone-sysadmin, so I spend a decent amount thinking and/or cursing computers, typing is only part of the job. Plenty of IP addresses, though, so I get my numbers in. There's some documentation and blogging as well, so long form text.
It is indeed!
The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.
Yeah, no, not anybody can host a server. Sure, you can host a PDS, but the AppView still wasn't open source last time I looked, and hosting a relay requires tens of terabytes of storage, not to mention the bandwidth to keep up.
Meanwhile, people host actual activitypub instances on repurposed routers and their car entertainment system...
Het is niet "het spelletje vuil spelen" als je de waarheid verkondigt, toch? ๐
Ik ben het er wel mee eens, deels, er mag best wat vaker uitgelegd worden "dit is onzin of schadelijk, en wel hierom". Idealiter zou de pers dat doen, maar die is schijnbaar een beetje met vakantie, of zo.
Maar aan de andere kant wil je niet op alle onzin ingaan, want het is makkelijker om veel onzin te spuien dan om het goed te duiden, dat ga je niet winnen en leidt af van je eigen boodschap. Die moet ook nog steeds duidelijk gebracht worden.
