Oh, *wow*. I love this bit about its origin at Motorola:

"Motorola's Semiconductor Products Division management was overwhelmed with problems and showed no interest in Peddle's low-cost microprocessor proposal. Eventually Peddle was given an official letter telling him to stop working on the system. Peddle responded to the order by informing Motorola that the letter represented an official declaration of "project abandonment", and as such, the intellectual property he had developed to that point was now his."

⚠️ #Mastodon v3.1.5 is out with a few important security fixes:

now that pine64 is selling replacement parts for the pinephone on their website, you can actually build your own pinephone and save...uh...it appears to be about two dollars compared to the fully assembled, tested, and warrantied product, so maybe don't do that.

Okay, humanity is doomed, COVID19 just won the pandemic. 😂

We’re KEEPING our DISTANCE
We’re all QUARANTINED
We stay alone (ALL ALONE), for our friends in their time of NEED

Because WHO’s racing, and pacing, to flatten the curve
Docs fighting, and guiding, and keeping up their nerve
We’re keeping our distance
(Aaaa, ahhh)

I also formatted my resume for my line printer. Going to take a couple of copies to my interview.
