  • You've just given a great summary of the history of breaking monopolies, really. History says you are correct. For example, AT&T is still kicking.

  • Oh good.

  • I got the 10" Air for around $300, if I recall correctly. It's $500 now (direct from Boox), so either the price went up or I must have caught a good sale (or both).

  • Nothing to talk about. Nothing happened. Who told you there was a "web 3"?! They're liars!

  • Yeah. I love the reMarkable on paper. I was waiting eagerly for the reMarkable to come down in price when I got my Boox.

    But I bought a recent model Boox for my significant other that does everything the remarkable claims for about half the price - like $300 instead of $600.

    I haven't checked remarkable's price lately. I would definitely consider it next time, if it's a closer price.

    Though I've had such a good experience with Boox that I might not switch brands for awhile.

    But long term I want to be on a device with fully open specifications, so I'll be watching Inkplate with great interest.

  • Yeah. When an eInk laptop running Linux hits, I'll be very happy.

    With USB-C to occasionally drive an external display, I think the technology might be close to ready for prime time.

  • I might get an inkplate 10

    Oooh. That is cool. Thanks. I'm not quite ready to give up Android, but I'll keep an eye on this project.

  • That's impressive. I'm glad I don't have any story to match that. Hopefully they find it hilarious now. Probably no fun at the time.

  • Yeah. Same here. We learned to mistrust computers very early.

  • The most prestigious award of them all

  • I love these. I would qualify for Arborist and Valued Contributor immediately.

    I had a colleague who could have won the "TeeHee" badge. I wanted to tell them about it but they disappeared mysteriously a few years ago and no one seems to know where they went. Especially not Janet, who always has a shovel in their trunk.

    (This is sarcasm. I am humorously implying that a person who changes every line of every file in a single commit, breaking everyone else ability to work, disappeared under circumstances implying that their colleague killed them and buried their body in the woods.

    I would, of course, never do such a thing. Okay, my alibi is established, let me get my shovel...just kidding.)

  • You're 100% right.

    But I defy anyone's mouse-foo to come anywhere near the speed of my typing speed and alias list.

    Even someone mastering GUI keyboard shortcuts isn't going to be able to match, because my terminal is optimized beyond what is possible in a more graphical app.

    What I'm trying to say is that no one can introduce a thoughtless mistake into production code as quickly as I can.

  • had no business anywhere near a project that size.

    Lol. That's a really good point, actually.

    I add version control around file number 3200...

    (I'm kidding. Writing even a couple lines without version control makes my eye twitch.)

  • I've bought a few of these bundles but could never get into reading the science or tech books on my small laptop.

    I know the feeling. eInk finally solved that for me.

    If you're in the market for an e-Ink device that's not locked down, I'm a fan of the Boox series. I don't trust their proprietary services, but they work great stand-alone with a home NAS.

  • It's so beautiful! Thank you. I love that there's a tradition where a man under a sheet carrying a horse skull prances around people's living rooms, and academic scholars can all agree "we have no idea what is going on here".

  • Lol. I missed that. That's hilarious.

    The Ruby community has been, at times, frustrated by people thinking that Ruby is only possible to use for making websites, due to Rails past dominance as a web library.

    And the technology most ubiquitous to creating a quick website is, of course, WordPress.

  • Yeah. And Vim and VSCode are one product, as well, if configured correctly.

    And why is the Ubuntu logo even on here?!

    I'm joking. I'm a fully indoctrinated member of the cult of Debian. I'm actually one of the eleven people who care that there are differences between Debian an Ubuntu. And I have a shirt that expresses how much I hate Snaps.

  • In fairness, it's an old issue and they did put in the work to address the issue report.
