@Pawpower Yep I received that email and was tempted myself, I wish there was a cheap way of getting fantasy novel maps in a tactile form.

Just seen a Facebook image with the alt text "NA". Usually if FB can't be bothered to auto describe something it usually says "no photo description available" or something. So unless it's changed, someone's gone through their shitty process to write "NA".

On a completely unrelated note, I somehow managed to never read Lord of the Flies, so I guess I’m going to start that at some point in the extremely near future. I cannot neglect my literary education!

Just went looking for a fix for a problem. Finally found a link that wasn't a Youtube video on the third page of results. Why is everything a video these days?

Having a “this meeting could be an email” kind of day. Oh well at least I have a charcuterie board in front of me

I just grabbed Teams and Zoom — and my school meetings display as expected. This setup doesn't irritate me as much as I thought considering this thing is years out of date. This might just work...

Guys, I'm just trying to determine if I would actually use a stable note taker in the year 2025?

Greetings from the BrailleNote! You know what also would be nice?: Picture in picture because I would like to do something other than just listen and chat when I attend my online meetings. At least I have an iPad because I still refuse to turn on my computer
Show threadWenwei2d ago
It’d be nice if this thing had dedicated media buttons. That said I’m making the choice to not turn on my computer soooo 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m completing self-paced course content from the BrailleNote, quizzes and everything! I am not brave enough to delve into outdated Android land but I will enjoy the web while I can. It’s nice to not have to turn on my computer

@ret @aeva Yep. Just looked at some JavaScript for my blog that I wrote six years ago.

I wrote all of it myself, it even has comments… still felt like I’d never seen it before.

I'm a manager now for half a year. Getting back to coding is like: "what do you mean 'switch case'? Is that a thing now?"
Show threadPaul Houle4d ago
@ret ... you know I am always apprehensive to come back after a project after six months but after decades of experience I take really good notes that let me bounce back.
