Show HN: I made a game to improve my typing speed
It's gotta be fun, and Typing for the Dead is a good one.

More recently though, there's https://monkeytype.com/ and https://play.typeracer.com/ which are fun little breaks during the day.

Been at this for 6 months, need advice
Try a small change and sometimes a drastic one (like dropping a column or row) and mash keybr.com and monkeytype.com until it feels natural, or not then revert. And if I revert I often try again a few weeks later...

Why my neovim lags so much?
It works normal in small projects but when I open for example monkeytype and edit a file it lags so much that sometime it crashes.

Keyboard Shortcut Database Website
I had a really useful website bookmarked in the past, which let you enter a keyboard shortcut and see what programs used that same shortcut. It was really helpful if I needed to create a keyboard shortcut that I knew wouldn't conflict with Windows or any other programs I used. I feel like the site's color scheme was dark gray and yellow/orange, similar to monkeytype.com, but I could be misremembering.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
If you are a 2 finger typist and also think people are "obsessing over WPM" because they're wanting to utilize their own tools to the fullest advantage, that sounds like some mental block kind of thing.
If you can type at least 80 consistently then thats probably would I imagine the dividing line is between "flow/concentration not breaking" and "breaks constantly"

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Dear writers: Delete your Findaway Voices account NOW
Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.
https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.
Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

[READ BODY TEXT BEFORE VOTING] Thoughts regarding online tracking?
I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo That Tracks Terms of Service Changes
I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org
It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
