in other news, i have sat at my computer for many hours unable to find the energy to record any videos about BASIC
i have approached spectra.video for a new peertube account, as diode.zone is scaling down, so far no response--i may just email SDF and get one on toobnix
thinking about the permacomputer a lot lately
it needs some way to program PROMs and microcontrollers itself, because if it is the only computer available it needs to be able to build more computers
at this stage the only way to reduce the chip count would be to start using FPGAs, something about which i know little, and have scant experience

For a Linux and Open Source person such as yours truly, there is simply no point in becoming a Microsoft MVP. It is an honor and a kind of award, but after two months on the inside I can now say that absolutely nothing they offer in the program interests me.
Zero Open Source stuff. Zero about protocols. Zero about any Open technologies at all. 100% boring.
This is not a dis on other MVPs. It just describes how it works for me.
Why do food deserts exist? Shock and surprise, it's because of Reagan-era halting of antitrust enforcement https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/12/food-deserts-robinson-patman/680765/
Lots of other independent stores also died that way, but food is the one that's clearest
@csepp @permacomputer TTS is trivial, i believe! you made me think--this needs to be a device that is immediately comprehensible.
♫ There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am ♫

This is a ThinkPad T480S, running Libreboot. Mate Kukri did it last night for coreboot, based on his ThinkPad T480 port.
And the T480 is also supported by Libreboot!
T480 and T480S both added to Libreboot last night. This is using Mate Kukri's excellent deguard utility, to disable the Intel Boot Guard.
New Libreboot release coming soon. It's the coreboot distro that I maintain, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmwaer.
