kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)

I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.

Please don’t normalize antisemitism, even if it’s satire.

Friendly reminder that Sacha Baron Cohen is a Zionist:

I’ll just leave this here… :’-)

I’m not stopping you, lol.

Just try to do a few training exercises every day, those really helped me.

And as a bonus, you already know 2 letters! The A and M are the same as on qwerty. And if the other letters on the keyboard distract you, you can always tape over them.

Good luck, I believe in you!

I actively practiced with whatever tool gnome had built-in at the time, it’s called klavaro or something. It’s a very simple practicing app.

It took about two weeks for me to get familiar enough to be able to work in it without having to switch back sometimes.

The trick is just like with learning a new language: don’t switch back unless you absolutely have to, not when it would be convenient/faster.

Within a month or two you’ll be typing Dvorak like you’ve never even heard of qwerty.

Some things to note:

At the time I learned dvorak I was not fully typing qwerty with ten fingers, so ymmv.

I’m actually using programmer’s Dvorak; the difference is in the placement of the non-letter characters.

I don’t necessarily recommend it over regular Dvorak; if you find yourself regularly using other people’s machines, I’d probably recommend against it. Every major OS has Dvorak built-in, but not programmer Dvorak.
