When I tell people about my "hobby," they ask for a link. And then I'm ashamed to give them the link to my Spotify profile, as a lot of stuff there is super cringe.

At work I have a mini keyboard (non-issue by omission), but at home I use a full keyboard and I just couldn't get used to the way Home/End buttons work on macOS. In no small part because it's incosistent between apps.
