I prefer "intellectually playful with a slightly skewed social calibration"

Other than that I am cooler than the other side of the pillow.

based on my track record with tech hobbies, I know exactly what will happen... but that beamspring keyboard will be worth it.

That's absolutely cool. I think your post has inspired me to get into retro computing.

Just in time for garage sale season!

This, sir, is an absolute thing of beauty! How'd you set it up?

A ANSI 3.4 machine should be compatible with modern Linux. Connect via serial cable (RS-232/USB), match baud rate/8N1 settings on both. Use minicom on Linux to connect. For headless integration, socat can pipe serial data to/from command-line.

Sound right?

Yeah, might as well have an adventure. Plus It won't feel like too big of a change if you are from around Portland.

I wonder how hard it would be to pipe the output to some kind of headless terminal emulator....

The only hard thing about being vegan is meeting other vegans, because contrary to popular memes, nobody talks about it in real life.

It's like being in Fightclub but with tofu and nooch.

And no, dropping a 'strongly worded' letter in the suggestion box doesn't count.

Me learning German: Misgendering every noun β€” der, die, das, ein, eine, ein, adjective endings, the whole mess.

Also me: Feels a tiny pang of guilt every time.

Brain: Wait… is this guilt a language learning hack?

When I ask about vegan options and the response is salad
my favorite vegan option is standing up and walking out without saying a word.

I miss the PNW so hard, but I'm more happy for you than envious of you. Congrats on the move.

The differences in tech are almost always iterative no matter how "game-changer" the advertising claims it to be. At least that's my opinion. I'm perfectly happy with my 6 year old vr setup. I'm sure I'd be happy with a quest 2 as well.

I'm still rocking the valve index, I just love the controllers. Plus I think basestation tracking is nice once it's set up.

Good reminder, I haven't played Beat Saber in far too long.

Hopefully they are quick about it, stand alone VR isn't fantastic.

So here's an idea from the late 1700s

What if we all just decided to not pay for our own oppression?

I agree, I'm not a huge fan of the newer stuff, it just feels like eating garbage instead of having something nourishing. That said, I'm okay with going garbage vegan sometimes, I'd just rather have oreos or something.

I miss the old school garden burgers. It's been way too long, I'm envious.
