Karl Voit with another banger.

If you're just starting to fall in love with tea, you might be overwhelmed by all its varieties and the terms used to describe it. This post is here to help explain it all.

Postscript expressed in magical circles.

We make products to celebrate and explore the history of video games with the respect it deserves.

They implement retro game console hardware in FPGA, adding support for high resolution, external displays and whatnot. I especially like their Analogue Pocket thingie that runs all pre-DS handhelds. Super cool!

The world sees Japan as a paragon of minimalism. But its hidden clutter culture shows that ‘more’ can be as magical as ‘less’

My takeaway from Soylent is this: You can’t simply hack humanity into a more optimized version of itself. Our needs and drives have been shaped by millions of years of co-evolution and won’t be engineered away by a coterie of coders — no matter how much pedigreed venture funding they secure.

Ploum:

A minimal computer which harvests power from the ambient light, offering
only a minimal LISP programming environment.

I feel that if it could become sufficiently powerful to run a shell and
a text editor, you could quickly expend it to read/send emails and even
browse Gemini.

Maybe I’m dreaming…

Cool system, though I do not understand it fully. I especially like the Gestku the author posts on the Fediverse.
