If I were a rich philanthropist, I think it would be fun to visit every elementary school, and award #Autistic kids who did well in Math or Computer Science with a free and fully accessorized #RaspberryPi 500+. This way they could all network together with the other Autistic kids who also won the same - in case they have few friends in school. At least they would have each other. They could come up with geeky ways of interacting with each other, like sharing files with each other through #copyparty or some such.

Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺
Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...

3-year-old: “Mom what are you doing?”
Me: “I’m building a computer. This is called a Raspberry Pi”
3-year-old grabs the Pi box and smells it: “Is there soap inside?”
When I reply “No” she completely loses interest and goes to play with her toy coffee machine
😅🤣
The list of prohibited items at Mamdani’s inauguration tomorrow includes…Raspberry Pi? 😅
For all the talk of inclusiveness I don’t think banning low-cost, single-board computers is a very friendly way to start his term. 🤨

@simontatham It's been a looong time since I used #putty (I ran it in a #Wine "bottle", these came from #flatpak, I'm using Debian 13 #KDE). Thanks for all your efforts!
To my mind, 98% of the time, people would use putty to log into a #linux box/VPS, like say a #RaspberryPi (Raspberry Pi OS, is #Debian Trixie 13-based). This would be a sensible default assumption, **demographically**.
It took a good 2 hours of struggling, just to get 256 colors to work in Putty! (#Python's textualize library seriously expects 256, or *it can crash* when the Theme is changed). Please let the defaults be sane, so there's no struggle for 256 colors! Please alleviate my nerd rage - I beseech you!
1) Sane TERM env var:
Connection -> Data -> Terminal details -> Terminal-type string -> "putty-256color"
2) Sane default font:
Window -> Appearance -> Font settings -> "Change" button -> adwaita mono 12
3) Sane bolding of text:
Window -> Colors -> General options for color usage -> Indicate bolded text by changing: The font
4) Sane (Linux-terminal-style) Ctrl + Shift + {C,V} (for copy and paste):
Window -> Selection -> Assign copy/paste actions to clipboard -> Ctrl + Shift + (C,V}: System Clipboard

Is your company looking for a keen self-hoster with plenty of #Linux experience? I grew up with #RaspberryPi and have picked up many skills along the way including #React, backend JavaScript (#NodeJS) and #Docker. My current obsession is monitoring all the things with #Grafana, #PRTG and #Prometheus. I’m based in the UK but open to primarily English-speaking roles in Germany, too. Currently wrapping up my Advanced Software Development degree but eager to continue learning! Boosts appreciated :D

I've got a nerd #AskFedi question, expectations are high since we are on the Fediverse 😘
Situation: I’ve tagged mothers keys with bluetooth trackers. I hate this stuff, but she’s suffering from dementia and I also need some sleep. I'm using android trackers, e.g. the Google Find Hub. I hate this too.
#Caregiving #Alzheimers #Dementia
Question: How can I improve the bloody “home tracking abilities” of these #%#@! trackers on Google Find network?
