adlai wonders whether asciilifeform recommends any specific layout for entering letters of the cyrillic alphabet from qwerty keyboards
adlai: "It makes sense if Russian is your love for life or if you have easy access to Russian keyboards (stickers?). Or maybe you live or plan to live in Russia, eh?" ... lol
adlai: thankfully my (hardcover, ofc) russian dictionary has enough blank pages that I can take a few notes, then someday rip out the page of notes and toss the rest of the book to the next chump
adlai: (the book has already been hopelessly defaced by well-meaning librarians long before entering my posession)
asciilifeform: adlai: there's 2 types, traditional (analogous to qwerty) and translit
asciilifeform: the former ; the latter (there are sometimes minor variations in where the non-directly-mappable letters go)
asciilifeform: for thread-completeness, here's also archaic 'reverse-translit' variant, from classical sovok . seen strictly in museums.
adlai: I don't use a layout for the greek letters, having them mapped individually in a configuration file, so I asked because maybe you have a custom arrangement instead of one of the standards.
asciilifeform: adlai: i use the translit system pictured in 2nd link
adlai: lol that's just yazerty!
asciilifeform: is what folx who learned blind keyboarding w/ latin kbd, typically use .
adlai tries squinting at the 96280_original.jpg, gropes around for 'enhance' button, gives up

Vexual looks at the sawdust on the floor
Vexual: and in other by-products, adlai: afik aussie ewaste that isn't flung onto the the curb by orcs goes into local council shipping containers. I believe it's seals and sent to africa unsifted.
Vexual: mainly monitors that've been kicked by aussies when they didn't like what they saw, but if it wasn't for the fluoro vested container monitors (who likely sift) i'd have taken more than I dropped off
Vexual: could possibly sift in africa, but you'd need a `nubbins type
