I just hope that the FOSS/FOSH community takes some notice and, once a certain level of maturity it feels comfortable is reached, it can lend a hand.
Would love to see this computer become the computer of the community, even if only for fun things. I don't expect it'll compete with Intel-based computers, but then I don't believe it *has* to. (But, it'd be nice if it did eventually.)
The more and more I think about it, the clear and concrete the design of the #Kestrel3 becomes.
First-generation Kestrel-3 will be closely aligned with the Atari 1040ST computer design. Same level of minimalism and "just get it working"-ism.
Later iterations of the Kestrel-3 will find itself increasingly more closely related to the Atari Falcon/030 or Commodore-Amiga 3000.
This is going to be a fun ride, I just know it.

I have a hungry.
But, fixing this problem involves me getting dressed and driving out to a supermarket or to a fast-food joint.
Which do I value more? Continue lying in bed listening to the birds chirp in the trees? Or join the rat-race for today and regret my existence in this forsaken detachment from nature?
Why must I be so damn adult?
no really: they had nothing better for these people to do, so they made them dig out this lake with shovels.
I mean, it's neat I suppose, but that's what you'll be doing under the "universal jobs guarantee."
it's basically work that has no purpose, like this lake has no purpose other than to sit there and look nice.
instead, we could pay people to improve themselves and their skills through universal basic income.
so, no, a universal jobs guarantee is not what I'm looking for.

There once was a Prof
At Purdue whose #limericks
Looked like #haiku. He
Said with a laugh, "I
Cut them in half, for it's so
Much more fun with two."
And I need to pick up another HDMI/DVI adapter, because I cannot find my old one. >:/
Wife has to work tomorrow morning, so after taking care of an ant problem in our kitchen, I think I'll work some more on episode 3 of the #Kestrel3 video series.
It's time for some teenage mutant ninja coed naked Verilog coding.

My wife binge-watches Orange is the new Black. The theme song drives me insane. And not in a good way, either. >:(

Between Gentoo's compromised organization and the refusal to hand VoidLinux control over to the Void Linux community after not hearing from the founding member for half the year, these are two great reasons to avoid using GitHub.
This is the kind of shit that used to happen all the time with SourceForge.

"All Gentoo code hosted on github should for the moment be considered compromised."
