@aparrish maximum profit is a bad motivation but it's truly wild how many of the problems with our society are because we *specifically* chose to dictate everything by a motivation of "maximum profit on a window of exactly one-quarter year"

Almost through practicing the alphabet on my

Next will be typing actual words, and eventually all the special characters I need for coding.

I fucking hate software updates. I hate that software became a perishable good, and with a short shelf life. Once installed, keep refrigerated and use within 7 days.

@brandon do you have anything published for it? :o I've been curious to get into uiua. Is this project the one you were talking about at the splinternet event?

@brandon Nice! Yeah my previous chorded experience was the tap strap 2 and that was way too inconsistant to be usable. I'm still learning the basics so I'm not sure if I can code on this thing yet.

I've upgraded my gargoyle level. Now when I go to the grocery store I'm practicing my Twiddler 4 typing on my head mounted display running samsung dex from my phone. If I get good enough I'll swap the phone for a khadas edge 2.

Waiting for hours on hold with city services to report a scammer that was blasting fake violin music and overstimulating me from like a block away. 💅 Can't wait for them to do nothing about it.
