A not-very-user-friendly software is MoltenGamepad (https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad).

It is configured only via config files, but can take any input and create virtual gamepads (xbox gamepads cad be specified) which works everywhere I’ve tried them in Linux.

I’m using it for playing gamepad-only games on my arcade machine, which has an ipac controller board acting as a USB keyboard. I can map keyboard buttons to the virtual controllers.

Also used it to play a game with physical gamepads that wasn’t supported by that specific game.

MessagEase is a nice keyboard built for mobile devices, using 9 keys for typing with swiping to access some of the letters.

Numbers and special characters can also be accessed without having to switch mode.

This is an interesting book I can recommend by Susan Cain: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

Exactly this. I am a very social person when among people, but pay a price for it afterwards, as I’m drained of energy.

Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,

That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.

I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you’re “punished” for it by your own mind.

Ah, so AI will kill off humanity. Not with a terminator but as a sex chat bot, leaving people unable to interact normally with other humans. No more human children!

They would have had my wife locked up then, who has a lot of Hello Kitty gear and clothing, now being 45 years old :)

Phew, looks good on the news with the packaging bug (if they didn’t just got cold feet for worse PR/backlash than they expected and this is a backtracking).

In this case, hopefully Garcia is employed for his expertise and can be deployed to further open source relations :)

I’m running a couple of Vaultwarden instances, and it would be really nice if Bitwarden employed Garcia to improve the Rust backend. But as the bitter cynic I am, I guess it is an effort to shut down and control as much of the open source use of Bitwarden as possible.

The worst case, someone will most likely fork Vaultwarden and we can still access it with Keyguard on mobile and the excellent Vaultwarden web interface :)

Daniel García, owner of the Vaultwarden repo, has recently taken employment for Bitwarden.

The plot thickens.

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn’t even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn’t better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn’t failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.

The Kame ipsec project (https://www.kame.net) has a turtle image which is animated if visited with an IPv6 address.

Not exactly that layout, but I can strongly recommend MessagEase. Also optimized for phone use.

What if they DIDN’T have a chip in the ink cartridge, and just used it as a container that could be refilled and used in every printer they made? No hacking the cartridge then.

No, that’s crazy talk!

Big bucks for big trucks?

What, no websocket-based realtime statistics for number of total, daily and hourly mistypings?

In Sweden we have had a version of self checkout for 20 years in the largest stores, and here it seems to work fine.

Instead of having to scan everything at a station, each product is scanned with a handscanner when walking through the store, and put directly into shopping bags. Then only the payment and possibly a randomly occuring verification is left before leaving the store.

The random testing is usually just an employee scanning three to five items from your bags, and occurs like once every four months (as long as you’re not actually stealing and caught).

I’m still using a Kinesis Contoured daily with PS/2 connection. Pretty impressed a new motherboard still came with a combo mouse/keyboard PS/2 port.

Oh god, I had a guy on work practise a couple of weeks. He was about 15, and pressed capslock, another key, and then capslock again for capital letters.

I suddenly stormed into the room screaming, with a knife. I plucked out the capslock key, and ran out of the room, still screaming. Then I popped my head back in through the door in a much calmer fashion and told him he would get the key back after his practise time at our company.

After 25 years of using vim I have replaced a lot of otherwise useful reflexes and brain capacity with vim keybindings (using a swedish variant of Dvorak none the less). I am way too old for needing a cheat sheet stuck on the keyboard, and it would even then be wrong not using QWERTY.

Try a stream deck, each key is also a small monitor for customizable button actions.
