@ivory is there any way to automatically translate all toots from an account I follow? I hope so because that would be *fantastic*

@GustavinoBevilacqua I’ve just discovered that @ivory will translate your toots for me!!! A whole new window of creativity has been opened!!

Live is not neutral!!!

@trevorflowers Oh, oh, AND I plan to also make it work as as a mini CNC mill, and finally machine those “1-2-3 blocks but it’s mm instead of inches”

Hello vintage computer friends... I have a lil SGI O2 workstation with a Dallas clock chip — it's the cheeky type of chip with an internal battery. I do Not Like This.

Thank you, brain friends!!
