    From 1-bit rainbow: pico-mac-nano, a fully functional #Mac 128K that’s smaller than a mouse.

    I wonder what people in 1984 would have thought if they’d known that that $7,700 computer—well, $2,495 in 1984 dollars—would someday exist as a keychain bauble created by hobbyists.

    I love #technology for many reasons (and hate it, for many reasons) but one main reason I love it is because people evolve it in ways that are distinctly human: fun, impractical, weird. I don’t even know how many devices I’ve seen classic Mac OS running on at this point: hardware clones people designed, Android-powered gadgets running an emulator or something, you name it. So cool.

      I’ll probably never completely leave #macOS, but given the degraded state of that platform, I’m looking at #Linux a lot more seriously than I used to.

      It’s not even for all the Linuxy reasons that tech people prefer. It’s because I just want a user environment that isn’t overtly disrespectful: refusing to let me customize the UI, throwing ads and popups in my face every damned minute.

      Switching from Mac to Linux because the user experience is better: think about that one for a sec.
