Everything engineer.

I wish there was some kind of Wikileaks platform where people could upload the entire engineering data for obsolete products. Gimme those data sheets and pcb layouts and cad files and firmwares and bootloaders so I can actually fix my old mp3 player or use that old nest as a kickass volume knob.

So, don't tell anybody, but we're going to announce Palm Pilot emulation in the browser at Internet Archive in the next week or so. I've still got to get descriptions in for the hundreds of apps that are uploaded, and add a few more classics. But if you want to help with that, or just let me know how it's going, ping me here.

But don't tell anybody! It's a secret!

Microsoft adaptive input devices
Cool to see Microsoft expanding on the adaptive Xbox controller to make regular computer accessories. And doing it right by allowing extensive customization and tailoring to specific disabilities.

Homework for my new job: Bulma CSS, Vue3, and Golang.
My boss:”you’re not required to start learning these before your start date”

I understand everyone is having fun making fun of Twitter right now and I don't want to tone police but PLEASE remember to also make fun of the crypto crash happening right now as well.

@cillic @tinker @iarna I still can't believe how much better the instant messaging / real time chat space was in 2005-2010 than it is now, and how excited I was when Google Chat went full XMPP. I was sold, hook, line, and sinker.

Now I have to keep all of Discord, Slack, and Signal open at all times, not all of which can be present on all of my devices, and if you're not on one of those centralized services I guess I don't chat with you.

What a depressing regression.

* I have compiled a linux kernel
