Today in "fixing unfixable tech", I bought a lot of 10 Tile trackers from ebay for 10 bucks. Brand new, they run for at least 25 each.
None of them are supposed to be "repairable", but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and use a spudger, so ... here's the results:

This is a 🧵

Powerful people trying to stop a paradigm shift from happening only make the paradigm shift happen faster. You can't put the cat back in the bag.

Always gets lots of questions about what charger people should get.
Well, Tom is in my opinion the top home charger expert and here is the first of three posts w/video on the best ones to buy.

Boosts appreciated on this one, esp. if you're on an LGBTQ+focused server!

Here are the only trans women with retail-published romances that I know about. Do you know someone I missed?

Self-pub: Lily Seabrooke, Issy Waldrom, Mercy Zephyr, Fern V. Bedek.

Why I want to know: I have a romance new release newsletter & want to include as much diversity in authorship as I can!

There's a point fast approaching in our history where yet again, it will be incumbent on decent, patriotic Americans to risk their freedom in defiance of unjust laws.

In college, game design legend Jeff Minter (Ox) created a game with his friends called DEFLEX for the Commodore PET. The original code is lost to time, so Minter recreated it (on the PET!) from scratch and put it out as a Vice Save State. A volunteer converted it to a .PRG and now it's emulated at Internet Archive:

HI can I ask for a Patreon boost?

I publish two poems a month, it's my main output of creative writing apart from this mastodon feed. The income helps me pay my bills, if you like poetry please sub, if you are curious please sub. I have some great ideas for the upcoming months and I'd love it if you saw it.

I enjoy seeing people migrate here thinking they need to be a big deal, and realizing it's more fun not to be a deal at all.

Friends are more fun than followers, interaction is more fun than traction. It's a freeing mindset.

Hey, boost this too. OSMIHelp.org exists to change this. For you. For your organization. We can help. #adhd #mentalhealth #mentalhealthintech #hr #ada #neurodivergence

ADHD Is a Protected Disability… But I Still Face Discrimination

I would say this is consistent with my experience. Revealing my diagnosis has typically shown how **unprepared** my employers have been at handing neurodiversity and mental health concerns.

#ThankYou everyone who weighed in and schooled me on how to use #Mastodon more effectively. (#ThankYou especially to the folks who were nice about my rookie mistake in asking for a bigger audience.) I'll put your ideas into action, and I welcome any other advice.

We're extremely understaffed for social media and run by a bunch of #luddites. #CutUsSomeSlack.

Much of the reluctance to do what climate change requires comes from the assumption that it means trading abundance for austerity, and trading all our stuff and conveniences for less stuff, less convenience. But what if it meant giving up things we’re well rid of, from deadly emissions to nagging feelings of doom and complicity in destruction? What if the austerity is how we live now — and the abundance could be what is to come?
