  • I hope one day theres something similar to this, but for 8bitdo.

    I have an 8bitdo keyboard, and in order to map my buttons, I need to boot up a windows 10 hard drive, do my one time edits, save them to the keyboard, and THEN I can turn off the pc, swap back to my ZorinOS hard drive, and THEN I can go about as normal.

    And if for some reason somethings wrong, or didn’t take, I’d have to repeat the whole process all over again.

    All because the keyboard manager doesn’t work on linux. But it’s not logitech.


  • I was 17 years old when 9/11 happened. 2 weeks away from turning 18.

    As everybody watched on that day, in horror, I watched from a slightly different perspective. I thought the draft was coming back. I can distinctively remember as it happened thinking I was watching the defining moment of my generation in real time as it happened. Like if pearl harbor had been televised live. And I was right about it being the defining moment, right about knowing war was coming, wrong about the draft.

    Instead the war went on for decades with no draft needed. And I watched Bush bumble his way though the presidency. It still baffles me that Bush won in 2004. People saw 9/11, saw 3 years of Bush’s response, and then said “Yes please, more of that!”.

    I genuinely thought we had witnessed the dumbest, and most evil president in history.

    …and then recently I was wrong again.












  • One time I was watching one of those youtube videos of stupid drivers dash cam compilations. This one driver is driving in the countryside, and flying over these hills at 90mph. He flies over one hill, goes airborn, and crashes into a fence, and then hit a cow.

    The cow goes down, and suddenly this OTHER cow comes running around from out of nowhere. I thought it was funny at the time, because the cow had this real aura about him like he was running up like “STEVE!!! STEVE ARE YOU OK???”

    I was just imagining that’s what the cow was doing, and it was funny to me.

    Only for me to tell this same story years later, and get told “Actually, cows are very empathetic, and social creatures. That cow WAS running up to check on his friend. That’s what was happening for real.”

    And I think that’s kind of cool. A cow can be your friend.
