I thought this was going to be a disclaimer about "No AI used in the writing of this book" but it's to stop the use of training.

@philpem @tonytins here's the link https://mastodon.social/@openvibe

So, I'm trying out a client called Openvibe. It supports Mastodon, Blusky, and a bunch of others. It has the ability to crosspost, and this is my first test at it.

Great advice on bike commuting:

I've got two Amazon #FireStick units and a gen 1 #Chromecast dongle in a drawer. They are three SoC devices I'd love to repurpose but the manufacturers have locked them up so when they get replaced by newer models with extra features they become landfill!

So frustrating, I'd love to make one a simple command line computer so my 4 year old could type stories on an immutable system. I'd host my #GeminiProtocol capsule on another and free up the Raspberry Pi for other projects. Even then I'd still have one free for tinkering with....

#permacomputing needs manufacturers to open systems at the end of life to encourage communities to #repurpose and #reuse them because guess what they'll make loyal customers in a thriving community that way.

We also need this to be simple enough for everyone to be able to reuse their tech.

The modern computing stack has grown way too complicated...

So! Does anyone have any tips for creating an RP2350-based computer with a custom operating system?

Hoping for something between a fantasy console and TempleOS, but with the ability to do actual work (word processing, emails, etc)

...this is too much of a niche, complicated, and/or cursed topic for me to ask about so casually, isn't it?

We came back through Joplin, MO to eat at Bricktown Brewery and stopped at Grand Falls, which is the largest continuously flowing natural waterfall in Missouri. It drops about 12 feet and we saw many people jumping off the top of it into the little basin below. Many people were swimming, and some just walked at the top of the waterfall like my family. It was really nice and worth the trip. 🩷

Spent this morning out at Line Creek Trail in #KCMO. It was a tad warm but gentle winds were blowing some yellowing leaves out of the trees. Gorgeous. #naturewalk #pedestrianadventures

"Sometime around 2005, Moore's law finally died without anyone much noticing, and the major innovations that lead to the increasing usefulness of our computers began to evaporate like morning dew on the grass and be replaced by much more gradual improvements in computer technology. Around that time, computers became nothing more than commodities."
