While I personally stopped tweeting in May, it was clear that now was the time for Flipboard to stop tweeting as well.
This is a sad outcome given that Twitter was the platform we got started on in 2010 and I was a board member there with Jack, Ev and Dick. But that Twitter is gone now. And the future is the open social web.
The @sovtechfund is here to stay - and now it's official!

@ruff @mntmn It is so cool, that I actually *can* modify the Reform2 to my very special needs. I can modify the housing and plan a custom bezel, because I have the 3D model. I can modify the charger, because I have the schematic. I can modify system controller and keyboard firmware because I have the sourcecode. This is just awesome. Open hardware power 💪
a more extreme case of MNT Reform going on, where they are removing half of the batteries and adding 2 additional ethernet ports https://noc.social/@de/111419819107622095
Apple folds on RCS, finally.
@mntmn reading the following sentence almost makes me cry:
<<If you want to install the keyboard module in a MNT
Reform laptop, make sure to set the DIP switch labelled
"STANDALONE" to the off position.>>

US lawmakers are asking to restrict American participation in RISC-V "to prevent China from gaining dominance in CPU technology". The request is misguided. I wrote a letter to the US government on the subject:

I'd appreciate if anyone can help amplify or route the message, so that US rule-makers can better understand the issue.
If you don’t agree with my stance, I encourage you to also send a letter expressing your views, so your opinions can be heard.
Passionate about freedom, libre software/hardware, environmental sustainability, and doing the right thing even when it's inconvenient.
