[2025-11-04T13:19:07Z] <midfavila> kris_: i'm gonna bully you bc of that

[2025-11-04T13:19:57Z] <midfavila> https://www.newsweek.com/snap-update-usda-grocery-stores-no-discounts-customers-10980294
[2025-11-04T13:20:00Z] <midfavila> also, unrelated, lmao
[2025-11-04T13:20:40Z] <midfavila> private sector attempts to temporarily reduce how hard they exploit starving people in order to prevent mass unrest and then the government is like "uhbuh no you can't do that"
[2025-11-04T13:20:44Z] <midfavila> party of small government
[2025-11-04T13:21:11Z] <midfavila> really does feel like the current federal US admin is trying to manufacture a crisis

[2025-11-04T13:25:17Z] <midfavila> friendship with pinenote OVER
[2025-11-04T13:25:22Z] <midfavila> diptyx is best friend now
[2025-11-04T13:26:00Z] <midfavila> actually it'll be nice to have a dedicated e-reader since then i can use the pinenote as a notetaking device or a portable monitor for my laptop...
[2025-11-04T13:26:58Z] <midfavila> have to wonder if it'll have support for inline images and stuff tho. or pdfs. 
[2025-11-04T13:27:02Z] <sewn> waw

[2025-11-04T13:30:51Z] <midfavila> is 2026 going to be the year of the epaper revolution :thinking:
[2025-11-04T13:31:47Z] <midfavila> https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/open-book-touch
[2025-11-04T13:31:49Z] <midfavila> oh this is back!
[2025-11-04T13:31:55Z] <midfavila> i thought that they'd dropped it!
[2025-11-04T13:32:20Z] <midfavila> i really dislike the removal of physical buttons though
[2025-11-04T13:33:13Z] <midfavila> touch screens add very little if not take away from the usability of special-purpose epaper devices imho, while increasing the cost of production
[2025-11-04T13:34:19Z] <midfavila> dery look at the epaper things >:OOOOOOOOOOOOO
[2025-11-04T13:34:22Z] <midfavila> i know you read the logs

[2025-11-04T15:55:18Z] <midfavila> i want to convince my boss' wife to teach me to sew properly 
[2025-11-04T15:55:29Z] <midfavila> really useful skill to have
[2025-11-04T15:55:41Z] <midfavila> she used to work as a tailor and it feels like she knows everything 
[2025-11-04T18:48:55Z] <sewn> m
[2025-11-04T23:06:25Z] <kris_> midfavila: speech ended up being about the past, present, future of the universe 
[2025-11-04T23:06:42Z] <kris_> i had it planned out so well and i get up there and start having a panic attack right after my intro
[2025-11-04T23:06:56Z] <kris_> forgot i even had a note card in my hand incase that happened
[2025-11-04T23:07:06Z] <kris_> found it in my hand when i got back to my desk
[2025-11-04T23:28:43Z] <dery> ok fun fact I might have turned the server on but forgot to turn the network switch on for like, two days or something
