My channel went full YouTube today, trying to take off various simulated planes from the top of Mt. Everest!

I decided to borrow a friend's entry-level(?) Wacom - it's quite comfortable, definitely more so than the Note 2

How long would it take until Chromium's source code becomes the main specification for the Web platform? That is the question.

PrivacyPass allows you to automatically pass a specific amount of captcha tests in the future after solving one manually, i.e. less caption solves, all while not being able to create a profile of you.

Hopefully, this would be implemented and on by default in major browsers.- it looks pretty useful so far.

I'm building what's possibly the 2nd machine #steno system (aka #stenotype) for the Thai language in existence. It's based on the American steno layout, mostly because I want this to be largely compatible with the #plover infrastructure.

At this point, every possible syllable has a chord on the layout. Briefs will come later, as I'm still learning English steno at the moment!

(Gosh do I love to procrastinate lol)
