Design, development, discourse. He/him.

Here to learn and share what I've learned, but -- knowing me -- probably man(1)-splaining. Please tell me when that's the case.

I run a small business and I would like to accept credit / debit card payments on my Android phone running #GrapheneOS

Does anyone know of an app or paired terminal which will work?

SumUp asked me to turn off Developer Tools, but still said the device didn't meet the security requirements for accepting payments.
They offer a Bluetooth paired card reader - but I don't want to spend £30 if it won't work with Graphene.
Anyone have experience *receiving* tap-to-pay on their GrapheneOS device?

Okay, one more. One more!

@newtontalk's final request, as appears in their profile: "Will the last person to leave the platform please turn off the backlight."

With a tip of the toque to @splorp, naturally.

The only possible addition is @jessamyn's, "Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's." (Today's being: https://glammr.us/@jessamyn/116025797057159567)

Hope my fellow #OpenBSD developers have an amazing time in Isla Mujeres, Mexico this week at the #c2k26 #hackathon​ 
It’s Friday everyone. Close your laptops and go home.

Unfortunately, yesterday I found my #KORG #FC6 #MIDI foot controller to be non-functional, the display continually flashing. :(

I did an initial disassembly, inspection, and diagnosis/testing of the power & I/O board, to no avail. Next will be the button/display board, but I haven't had the energy or time yet.

In the meantime, I keep finding myself grinding to a halt, mashing buttons with my foot, wondering why they're not working. Gah! 2/2

In addition to helping me experience the importance of audio in-game audio cues and learn how to interpret it, the other big takeaway from the last -- uh, eight?! -- years of watching #PUBG #Twitch streamers: use a foot pedal for mic mute, esp. push-to-talk. I implemented on my #OpenBSD workstation using a #MIDI foot controller, momentary pedal switches, and some shell scripts. My #KORG #FC6 had extra buttons, so I use them for switching virtual desktops and such. 1/n

I'm assuming many of you are already talking about it, but can I just say how moved I am by the amazing and important work that #BrennanLeeMulligan and the amazing cast are doing on this season of #Dimension20 on #DropoutTV: #Gladlands! It reflects and inspires!

Times are hard and fucked up shit is going on everywhere. Caring for yourself is a necessary part of taking care of your loved ones, friends, and community. It's okay to let yourself laugh and cry. They'll help.

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.
