This sounds cool but I don't understand the use case. When would you use this? For what? With whom?

The Github pages of these projects seem excited about the features but I didn't see the purpose.

What's the elevator pitch?

Makers by Cory Doctorow is a great novel that explores exactly this.

Email is a must for between businesses. Having said that, lots of internal communication is findingther channels, like Teams, Slack, and so on.

twitches in FDA

Can't argue against that!

If it ain't broke, fix it till it is!

DM to self: fuck fuck fuck think of a solution fast!

Paywalled...

I don't get it? That description fits on the amoebas currently acting as "politicians" demanding Zelenskyy to say "thank you".

50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what "woke" is? I've seen it for years now and still don't have any idea.

In my mind it's a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That's how little I know of it... Sorry!

Thank you. It makes sense that the demo shows ALL the features and I wouldn't need to use all. It's probably better for my OCD to skip this tool :)

Yup. Competent nerds like us make up about 0.0002% of their earnings. The big business is in corporate, and the hordes of plebs as a distant second.

Is it lovingly aimed at grease monkeys or also at normie vehicle owners?

I took a look at the demo site and felt a bit overwhelmed.

I was the lucky owner of a rare FingerWorks Touchstream keyboard for many years. If you don't know it, it's the precursor to the keyboards used in Star Trek Enterprise.

It's a keyless keyboard. Two large flat mousepads with a keyboard layout printed on top, and you type by pure touch. There's no mouse; the surface just cleverly detects when you are doing mouse gestures. Or a lot of other gestures.

Trekkie joke aside, it's actually the magic tech that made the iPhone possible. Of course Apple didn't invent anything, they bought existing future tech.

I miss that keyboard. They still sell on ebay, for 1400$!

184 billion transistors

My mind broke, reading this. From way back when you could count the transistors by pointing at them with your finger, to hundreds of billions on a postage stamp. How??

Yeah because the ending (and severance last seasons) of Lost was a big unlubed middle finger. Effing waste of time.

Maybe Lexmark? OKI? I vaguely recall there was 1 other not-evil printer company.left.

Otherwise, I've heard good things about clay tablets.

Wow, that does seem really useful! So clever to use Home Assistant, and nfc tags. Plus, it's plain csv when you need the data.

Sure, but the challenge is how to block them without putting undue load on humans.

In the olden days, you'd just host a webserver and be done with it. Today you need elaborate setups to trick bots. It's a losing proposition.
