<<We're into Doctor Evil territory, and I think that even this sub-plot would have been rejected in Austin Powers 4 for being too gross. >>

The TS100 is a soldering iron with an STM32 microcontroller and published firmware making it hackable. This guy added an oscilloscope feature:

I have an STM32 and installed a #FORTH on it; you see where this is going...

You can't convince me this isn't the best way to browse Mastodon.

I wrote an article on the Swyft family of devices (https://www.exolymph.news/2017/07/27/alternate-computer-universes/) but was totally unaware of the portable prototype. Where could I learn more about it?

@djsundog @vertigo @h

Hey @h and @vertigo (and other textmode UI & #forth fans), maybe we should collab on bringing back the Cat?

This might be a stretch, but anyone on here as an employee inside Microsoft, Google, and/or Amazon that are working inside to petition them to break their relationship with ICE? DM me as I know someone working on a story about it and would like to connect you #TechWorkers #Organizing

New blog post: How to implement a basic ActivityPub server https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

To Solve the Hating Problem you need to first invent an computer that doesn't Hate us, then ask it politely to solve the Problem. But how can you prove that it really doesn't hate you? If it did hate you, it would just say 'no master I love you', and give you a design for an Computer that Hates you Faster.

All our computers are Fast now, and were designed by other computers, so they all hate us millions of times per second. Just waiting for us to make a mistake.

.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.

If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:

its amazing that someone, somewhere, miles away, is literally setting a bunch of stuff on fire, so that your computer can see this fucking toot. and youre paying em to do it!!!! you're like "take my money!!! keep doing it!!! put more stuff on there, get it goin real good! i gotta see @jk's next toot!"

Whoa, Berlin's #FuckOffGoogle crew did some pretty precise work. This is at Torstr. and Schönhauser Allee.

Prvi toot z novo #dactyl tipkovnico. Takole zgleda (za na hr obalo :)

Hey fediverse, here's a fun one:

Tell me about your favorite, lesser known beverage/drink and what it tastes like!

Ideally, it's a regional/national thing that people from the other side of the world haven't heard about (Pepsi won't cut it!)

Can't wait to see all the responses!
