I'm trying to flash my ZSA keyboard on Linux and it's prompting me to write a file in a folder that doesn't exist in my computer? It keeps telling me that I need to create /etc/udev/rules.d/50-zsa.rules but /etc doesn't exist on my machine. How am I supposed to make the ultimate keyboard?

"The Metamorphosis" but as written by my two year-old son who awoke this morning to find he transformed into the Tasmanian Devil.

"Transform" is an overly strong word here. I don't think playing Adventure: AI edition will cause a seismic improvement in bedside manner. Further than that, though, I'm a bit annoyed when people talk about patient empathy as more a skill and less a value.

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

meemaw was pretty clear on this topic: she wanted tubes in every existing orifice and even some in newly created orifices. “make sure im thoroughly tubed” she’d say to us every christmas. “make it so not a drop of fluid leaves my body unless it’s through a tube”

Any hand-wringing about autism that doesn't also call for protecting the Department of Education and for providing aid for those austitic Americans who already exist seems more like performative grifting than any genuine concern.

The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.

Something about seeing anorectal disease and procedures on video instead of in-person makes them exponentially nauseating.

The nostalgia for manufacturing overlooks what truly built economic security: labor power, progressive taxation, and social policy. As fellow @jessicacalarco.bsky.social reminds us, the “good life” wasn’t caused by manufacturing—and it wasn’t accessible to all. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Medicare Advantage plans pay so poorly that rural hospitals have had to cut their contracts with them. This affects access for rural patients. We need to either heavily regulate/investigate Advantage plans or cut them entirely. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

I am currently typing on my new ZSA Moonlander keyboard. Playing with split Joy Cons on my Nintendo Switch was so comfortable and it made me want to split all my controllers and my keyboards. Well, typing on a split, columnar keyboard makes me feel as if I don't know how to type at all.

I'm trying Brave's web browser since Zorin OS decided to make it the default browser for their latest update. Brave feels scummy. There's a lot of Web3/crypto functionality built in and AI is prominently featured. No thanks. I'll probably just keep using Firefox.
