I know canada's police isn't yet as militarized as america's but this union was told go back to work or else they'll be arrested, said eat shit and then a couple days later the company capitulated entirely and as far as I know, no one from the union was ever arrested even though the president said publicly they'd absolutely go to jail over it.

Hello world! This status has been posted from a phone booth, using Bell103 compatible softmodem, a lot of magic, and some wishful thinking.

hope this works

I'll start doing some real work with this in a minute. Just easier to bug-fix and docs first. Have a couple thoughts about getting program output in a period-appropriate way: LINE PRINTER!

Neat, neat. A Gemini frontend to Wikipedia.

although i will say there's not a lot of point in making a single tasking OS for the Pi 400. however - an OS with exactly 4 tasks, and a virtual console and framebuffer for each of them, with each task getting its own 1GB RAM? now you're talking...

One very good reason why Gemini browsers do not automatically load images is the "tracking pixel" -- a 1x1 transparent image that exists to cause your browser to ping a given server.

You can watch my recent talk for Critical Signal,
it's an introduction to #Permacomputing ideas from first principles.

Dear Minifree customers (those who follow me on Mastodon): I haven't been at the lab recently - and I sent everyone, probably also you, an email, today, explaining why.

In case I missed one of you, or e.g. your email bounced, I'll also explain in (less) detail here:

I've been looking after someone recently who's very ill, and haven't been at the lab at all.

I'm at the lab today, catching up on orders - I expect to ship orders by the end of the week.

If you emailed me, I'll respond soon.

This 1991 videotape gives an overview of the groundbreaking computational linguistics research at Xerox PARC, much of it performed using Interlisp-D:

Grammar Writer's Workbench, one of the fruits of this work, is a graphical platform for linguistic research within the Lexical Functional Grammar theoretical framework. In this 1982 videotape its co-creator Ron Kaplan demonstrates the system:

I didn't make it to Handmade Seattle this year but watched @neauoire 's talk online. Somehow it reminded me of GEB the book.

At long last, after I thought it was a lost cause because I never received a confirmation, it finally arrived. I finally got my #OpenBSD 7.6 T-shirt.

I just wish the words were in a brighter color for better contrast.

Oh well... #RunBSD #BSD
