 no, just don't like you lying about having stenography assistance autocomplete tooling on your system and not admitting it

you don't want to make me go and show you actual academic articles about human reflexes because i assuredly find the limitations of computer input device systems problematic

i put my mouse scan rate up and constantly have to repeat my clicks because the stupid mouse is moving while i press the buttons, it is so annoying, and there has been many periods during which the linux kernel's libinput had a dodgy concurrency problem in its queue and i would always get out of order key presses

120 is on the upper side of the limits of the HARDWARE to process human keypresses within the limits of the pressure and actuation distance required for keyboards and i have gateron whites on my keyborad now, 38Nm force they require and i do sometimes accidentally press them because they only need about 2mm distance

so, please, don't fucking lie about how you are typing that fast, i can tell you have a tool helping you if you really are, and i see in the live stream you are only doing 120
