If you want the Linux-circa-2004 experience back, just try Linux on ARM!

* distro-hopping to find better hardware support

Wow, love the keyboard in the reform 2, especially the little OLED display. I made a prototype USB keyboard with one on breadboard a while back, great for status info. https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2020-01-18-finishing-reform.html

I still don't feel well enough to study and go to the gym, so I'm still allowing myself to be distracted by Star Trek and social media.

I hope this will change when I feel better…!

"We’re looking for stories about people who are planting the seeds for a totally different future, who are actively pushing for changes in their communities, who are imagining who they would be in another time and place, if they didn’t have to define themselves against stereotypes, systematic injustice and a dominant culture that excludes and harms them. Show us these visions."

"We are, as always, especially interested in submissions from trans women and people of color."

These are paid projects, circa $50-300.
