18. This "neural band" is neat. It can be programmed to recognise hand gestures and output keyboard events. Could be a good companion for my twiddler so I can type with my left and navigate with my right. mudra-band.com/pages/mudra-lin

The lack of functional discovery features on Mastodon is so nice. One of the worst experiences on Bluesky is making a post and then 18 hours later completely random people start Discovering it. And they're almost never happy to see it, nor do they remotely understand the intent or context. Make a post for your friends on Bluesky and wake up the next morning to a bunch of messages from mystery people along the lines of "why did you post this??". And I just want to know well why did you read it??
