Hello there. I'm Patrick. I'm a writer, gamer, geek, father, and husband. I write, build, game, tinker, and geek out on macOS, AmigaOS, and UNIX.

@alienmelon also, those gender assignements make no sense at all.

Like, in Polish:
- barley is masculine
- wheat is feminine
- rye is neuter

... and so on.

NO FUCKING SENSE AT ALL

And then, animals. Like, individual animals do indeed have proper genders, but those languages have gendered form for a generic animal of a type.

And so, a "roe" is a feminine word, and a "moose" is masculine. If you are talking about a specific animal though, then either there are specialized words, or you need to say like "a male individual of the roe species" or something idiotic like that.

Argh.

I need some help finding keyboard switches. What want is a tactile switch that has a bump that I can feel and hear, but one without the clack of the switch bottoming out. Holy Panda's might work. What would you recommend? #keyboard

Does anyone know of a MacOS app/utility that causes whatever Window you hover your mouse over to become active?
Is the Gemstik Atari 2600 joystick any easier to use than the default sticks? I find the normal sticks to be way too stiff and difficult to use.
