Hey! Congrats on the Reform campain!
Just a few things that are unclear to me from the text:
- it’s stated once that the bottom part of the case is either aluminum or acrylic, is the acrylic bottom only for the DIY kit?
- What happens if I order a wifi card with the DIY kit? Do I also get antenas? Are they mounted in the screen case?
Thanks again for this really outstanding project!!! ❤️ I will definitely buy one!

Watching Revision reminded me that the things I love to program the most are useless graphics and sound things… and for some reason, these are the things I make the least often… 😔

disabled people for years, decades, whatever: hey since there's this internet thing, do you think you could make it more possible to participate in X without physically being there?
abled people: nope, you need to physically be at X for it to work, otherwise there's no point. you need to overcome your disabilities and we don't want to coddle you.
*coronavirus hits*
abled people: hey, idea! what if we did X remotely

I should participate to #LispJam but like every time I’m doing a game jam, I doubt my ability to make anything… This is exhausting… 😩

google is terrified of the AGPL and it's hilarious
"The license places restrictions on software used over a network which are extremely difficult for Google to comply with. Using AGPL software requires that anything it links to must also be licensed under the AGPL. Even if you think you aren’t linking to anything important, it still presents a huge risk to Google because of how integrated much of our code is."
Pango (indirectly) removed support for old bitmap fonts formats by switching from Freetype to HarfBuzz. 😭

I’ve been playing irish/folk music almost exclusively these last few weeks.
Today I took a break from that and played all the classical tunes I learned over the years from my cello lessons. I’m exhausted now… 😆

one of the ways capitalism tricks us into complicity in our oppression is thru the idea that we are solely responsible for the contents of our minds, which our dominant vulgar cartesianism imagines as causally isolated islands inaccessible from the outside. social structures are neither 'out there' nor 'in here': it's both, and there's no border between
