@ryanc @gsuberland step down to 6vac and then back up to 230vac

seattle's sticker culture is unparalleled

@manawyrm @ryanc actually i would suggest you not look into the optics <g>

@ryanc i have heard some incredibly fucked up mover stories and this ranks up there with "[movers] showed up on the wrong day, and [customer] had to threaten a fistfight before they would leave"

@ryanc i have found that i do best with a ~30 minute commute. i benefit from the defocused time and also the thought-barrier

chilly duck-on-pond action

cold wet quacks

@astrid@fedi.astrid.tech your "free" chair gave me bedbugs!!!

"free as in its got a free sign on it, bub, what do you expect. btw its your chair now."

look at all the hoops they jump through to not call it the WANG

cyberpunk scifi had me all jazzed for transdermals being rad as hell

in reality theyre just stickers (that leave welts) so you dont have to take 4 pills a day

@gsuberland when/if you find/build one, please let me know https://tiny.tilde.website/@astrid/111957807329410145

@gsuberland imo success criteria is:

• big numbers, like 20mm high
• all the functions you would see in a decent ALU (one that would make assembly hackers happy)
• key layout:

D E F
A B C
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

@gsuberland you know what would be neat. below the display, a row of leds one for each bit.

@gsuberland in my head i have already gone "fuck it" and had pcb's fabbed so i am going with segment LEDs for the aesthetic

@ryanc @ajn142 @josephholsten location & sleepcycle privacy, i'd assume

@astrid@fedi.astrid.tech fops (fox operations)

i might just carry n95 masks for the rest of my life. they're great. weigh nothing, take up no space, fix so many problems. stinky? smokey? pollen? pet dander? forgot to shave? want to avoid face rec? have to be around sick people? dont want to have to show emotions? cold nose? nbd! one piece of paper fixes all of these problems & more!

it's super hackable too, no mmu to ruin the fun. here's a patch/extension (written in third-party forth) that changes palmos behavior to keep time in swatch .beats

why would you bother trying to build a cyberdeck out of loose parts and delicate connectors when you can get a touchscreen 68k machine for $10 that fits in your purse and runs a week on two AAA batteries, and a full folding keyboard for another $10?
