An alternative is to ask questions about features of the pitched product or offer.

Possibly saving time and resources.

Okay. But if a robocaller doesn’t lead to results, it may be programmed to give up on unpromising numbers.

While I don’t downvote posts with emojis I’m most interested in reading tech content, where emojis feel redundant and distracting.

VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it’s also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire.

I’ve updated the post.

Looks nice indeed, thanks.

Interesting suggestion but possibly overkill.

Text searches (e.g. page search in browsers) that do return results, but they don’t show up anywhere on the screen or aren’t highlighted.

Zutty, the Zero-cost Unicode Teletype which the developer describes as “A high-end terminal for low-end systems”.

Possibly.

So why not make the washing cycle end when the water has fully drained? I get the impression the timer starts after the drain.

I maintain a list of the tech and creator newsletters I subscribe to.

My favorite is chromeOS because it requires zero maintenance and I can access all my data, apps, and preferences in minutes on any compatible device by just signing into my account.

Lisp.

It just feels extremely natural to me, so it’s difficult to pinpoint specific features I like. But two such features stand out: the parantheses-based syntax and the extreme interactivity.

I initially got a Z80-MBC2, a Z80-based SBC that runs CP/M and other operating systems, as I had developed an Intel 8080 cross assembler and wanted to run on actual hardware the code assembled with it. It was so fun I got a V20-MBC, an SBC by the same maker that features a Nec V20 (8088 + 8080) and can run CP/M-86.

Both SBCs led me down a fascinating retrocomputing rabbit hole.

That explains why support agents beg for the highest rating.

These days I write Lisp code using the Medley Interlisp development environment. It’s a vintage but amazingly capable environment that’s being revived and modernized.

Yes, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

ChromeOS on an ASUS Chromebox 3, my daily driver.

Blogs. It’s amazing how many gems and great content are buried in countless blogs, maintained or abandoned.
