  I got into programming on a TRS-80 clone. Everything you needed to know to program it was contained in a little 150 page book that came with it.

  To program the Mac, you needed a whole bookshelf of books.

  For me, phones on the LineageOS compatibility list. But then I’m looking to de-google, and I don’t care about having the latest phone.

  Check out the movie “Sicario”

  Something like Clouseau vs the world’s assassins from the pink panther strikes again.

  yeah I’m glad servo exists, but its far from ready for prime time.

  What’s crazy is what a monumental undertaking implementing a web browser is now. Would love to see someone propose a new standard to replace html-css-js but distilled down to a radically simplified essence, dropping the accumulated cruft of decades, applying lessons learned. Ideally would be something that could be implemented by a few devs over months rather than requiring a team of hundreds over a decade.

  Love it. No connection to the internet except when you choose to, through your phone. Analog controls. Frickin roll up windows!

  My only beef with the current concept is the bolt on body panels and other parts. Too easy to steal. Could replace those bolts with security bolts, if they aren’t already, but that just discourages the casuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump’s Actions Have Created a Constitutional Crisis, Scholars Say⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, great time to concentrate on the shades of meaning of some academic phrase. It sounds like there might be a problem with a piece of paper perhaps? What if these definitions are wrong? Maybe we should devote front page space to this academic debate for the next few weeks?

  How about “Trump’s actions are a fascist takeover”. Nice and simple.

  people being pedantic showoffs doesn’t really register as humor for me, TBH

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversing with Mathematicians⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What about plain old x = -10?

  -10 ^ 2 = 100 -10 ^ 3 = -1000 -10 ^ 5 = -100000

  I like this approach of having a model locally and running it locally. I’ve been using the firefox website translator and its great. Handy and it doesn’t send my data to google. That I know of, ha.

  wonder why those elbows lock out instead of having 270 degrees of freedom. would be even more creepy.
