the project is largely now waiting for parts.
the different categories of components yet to arrive are:
- EEPROM programming parts (https://github.com/adumont/hb6502/blob/main/programmer/README.md)
- the composite video out microcontroller parts (https://web.archive.org/web/20190907195213/http://searle.hostei.com/grant/MonitorKeyboard/index.html)
19th december is when they should all have arrived, and the first prototype of the permacomputer can be constructed.
Probably one of the biggest lies people believe is that competition is good.
It's bad, actually. Cooperation is a lot better.
syria
my heart is with the SDF and the revolution. this is an amazing experiment in socialism. the PKK were right to embrace democratic confederalism.
öcalan is also one of biggest political prisoners ever. i am worried he will die in prison.
SDF: In Syria, we are living through historic moments as we witness the fall of the authoritarian regime in Damascus. This change presents an opportunity to build a new Syria based on democracy and justice that guarantees the rights of all Syrians.

https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/mcclim/ sans the live Q&A yet.
Though, there is a good opportunity to amend the accepting-values the way I was using it, since (as was widely requested) I still need to actually implement the mcclim interface to Sandewall's The Lisp Demo Program (interactively developed scheduling app).
god i love linux so much

i think my favorite thing about spotify wrapped is that it is not particularly different from sorting my recent plays by count. we dried lakes for this? madness
Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:
You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.

excited to share that lichen-markdown is now in the yunohost application catalog ⚙️ 🌿
been thinking about the programming language ruby
i would use it for more if it wasn't associated with so much webshit
not sure if this is a poor reason to structure one's programming language preferences, but much of my desire to adopt a language is based on how i like its syntax.
for me, whatever features or power a language has is secondary to the beauty of its syntax
makes me think--i wonder what good purpose ruby could be put towards?
