@u0421793 I follow the Thinkpad tag and there don't seem to be tons of posts. I'm a recent Windows to Linux convert and looking at them myself too. Mostly from a development / light gaming point of view. They've just announced an extremely repairable T14 Gen7 which appeal conceptually, but I suspect its going to be horridly expensive.

I see Neil Gaiman is back in the news claiming a smear campaign against him.

I’m not even sure why I read the article, he’s irredeemable in my book.

However one interesting thing I noticed is that I’m not getting “his voice” when I read any more - which my brain used to do automatically. It’s like my subconscious has rewired to stop favouring him over other narrators.

In fact the only writer it reliably works for now is Grace Dent.

@foxbasealpha I’m watching the rebirthed Pebble with curiosity, but realistically want my Apple Watch to last a while longer.

For my birthday I got a colour e-reader (Kobo Libra Colour). The obvious 1st book to read was The Neverending Story with its two colour text, red for our world green for Fantastica. But there don’t seem to be any ebooks recreating those original editions, they just use italic text. And all the illustrations are awful quality black and white.
Challenge accepted.
I’ve edited the text to be multi colour, and scanned illustrations from my old paper copy!

...and that (boxing up the laptop to post) is 20 years at the same company over!

Start my new job in the new year. Relieved. Excited. Terrified.
