People like this are easy to control, People like this stop trying. Sometimes it feels like, "What can I even do?!" Times like this I think about this quote from P.J. O'Rourke:
Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help Mom do the dishes.
Small things matter, my life has been changed by small acts of kindness. We don't have to save the world, but we can make our small part of it better. A lot of you probably do this already, and you don't even think about it. Remember being kind includes being kind to yourself too!

Yes, I met a DIY FOSS Cyborg who lives in Emacs and Guix full-time. And YOU TOO can live such a life, if you dare!
@tychi That's interesting. I was thinking of using a combo of dpad + amalog stick. Analog stick rotates to select one of 6 zones, then clicking the dpad in six directions to type the character / symbol. My main issue is I really need all the special characters needed for programming which drastically increases the number of combos I must represent 😅
10. This is like the final step in evolution for me. It's purely a controller meant to hook into external displays. Some folks have already managed to get Linux on it too. Main thing it's missing is a keyboard. If I could figure out a proper text input scheme with a controller and get that working with my LUKS encryption it'd be golden.
@ana Could I be symmetrical on the horizontal plane with a double torso? It's important for shareholder value
