@metacosm I should add that I was off sick for a long time last year, and my team-mates clubbed together and got me a voucher which paid for the Korg Minilogue XD. My team is awesome. IBM are lucky to be getting us.

@metacosm oh that's cool. The smaller one, the microfreak, was on my shortlist (https://jmtd.net/log/synths/microfreak/) — I might still pick it up one day, as it can be used portably with a powerbank

@revk Oh! I didn't notice (and I can't see the tag right now, in my client) — tagging is, I think, sufficient, so thank you.

@dneary @evan FWIW I don't personally believe WW2 started with Pearl Harbor, but I believe that many do.

@bencc @beasts that’s a good innings. I think mine is at about 12 years old. Still older than my flesh children!

@evan no option for Pearl Harbor?

@revk its convention to spoiler-tag toots like this “uspol”. Would you consider that in future please?

@metacosm Korg minilogue XD. Gathering dust atm :(

@zhenech @stdevel I've always wanted to explore that stuff. I have a ThinkPad Yoga 260 which I might play with once I submit

@zhenech @stdevel Go on, tell me more about the X61t. Does it have the 1024x768TN display or the better ones? Have you modernized it at all?

@gregoa_ tbh I'm still keen. Just not sure what my niche should be. I want to avoid doing something too package-centric. DPL time always depresses me, as most platforms (not picking on anyone in particular) are still very package-centric. IMHO our biggest problems are much more structural, social, high level…

Writing this toot purely so I can click on the result and follow

@pndc I’ve been considering polite requests to use content filters but anticipate unpleasant consequences

@fred I am in a bit of a funny place… what with the current work chaos and being at the final crunch point for my thesis. But in less than two weeks I'll be full-time again, for the first time in 8 years! Imagine the things I could, er, contain!!

@lproven @masek Enjoy! It's this one: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord/

THere are also plugins for WhatsApp (whatsmeow) which is currently working for me and Signal (libsignald) which is currently not.

or I could do something with this synthesizer I bought last Winter, gathering dust in front of me as a type. I might need to situate it somewhere away from my work desk/connotations

or maybe my hobby/leisure time could be hacking, again. Perhaps I should go down the management route at work so there's less overlap there. I could get back to being useful in Debian!

@elmiko I've got Steam on my work machine(s) but I think I might benefit from a mobile machine. 16" MBP on my laptop on sofa a little cumbersome :)

@masek @lproven I mediate my interaction with it via a libpurple/pidgin plugin. That might get me banned if they notice, apparently, but it hides all the Suck
