Forced to log back in here as I couldn't get into a third party web site which was authenticating with this account (not for much longer) because apparently twitter needed me to have a birth date associated with my account. If you aren't already doing so, follow me on #Mastodon.

@gwennelsonuk Twitter forced a password reset on me and I couldn't be bothered doing it until I needed to authenticate for another site so only just saw this. Yeah the cover photo was my office setup - the post-COVID working from home setup isn't too dissimilar though twitter.com/sxaTech/status…

Maybe I should change my cover photo to the home version ... #WAH #COVID

@mediocreDevops @thepine64 Yeah UI performance is probably better than I expected too. Konqueror starts up but doesn't work properly, so the photo has firefox, but the rest of the UI seems ok but at the moment rotating the screen causes a crash so you have to keep it in landscape. Definitely usable though.

@hollylawly I’m not holding my breath. I think it’s just their way of trying to get legacy users like me to upgrade to a paid plan, since their decision to mothball the free plan a few months ago didn’t go down well and they quickly backpedaled.

@thepine64 @omgubuntu @risc_v Noted - thanks for the reply. Really interested in seeing how it works out as this looks superficially like the RISC-V device I've really wanted and since I have a VF2 (and others...) the tab would be more interesting than the Star64. twitter.com/sxaTech/status…

Selection of @risc_v boards on my desk. Sadly the VF2 in the middle - the fastest one - is misbehaving (probable RAM issue) #RISCV - #BeagleV prototype (2C/8G) - @mangopi_sbc Allwinner D1 (1C/1G) - @StarFiveTech #VF2 (4C/8G) - @SiFive HiFive (32-bit) - @SiFive Unleashed (4C/8G)

@sxaTech @omgubuntu @risc_v Quite possibly, with very few alterations to the device tree, yes. But it is very unlikely that the LCD and TP will 'just work'

The chassis of the #PineTab-V (the first @risc_v tablet) will be black to differentiate it from from the #Arm-based #PineTab2 available in silver-gray. Hope you like it :)

@omgubuntu @risc_v It was an April fools joke, but it is real. Does that make sense? 🦄 In a nutshell - identical to PineTab2 but has same SoC as Star64. It doesn't come with an OS / doesn't run anything, and is strictly to be considered an experimental device. Available April 11th alongside PT2

I really can't figure out what Musk is trying to do. Did he offer to buy Twitter as a joke and then got stuck when he couldn't back out so it's now a game? Is he keen to lose 'dead wood' users as well as employees? Or will his masterplan mean twitter is thriving in a year's time?

@Raspberry_Pi Just spotted that one of the screens there has a reference to my project's build status monitor which was using a couple of different @Raspberry_Pi HATs e.g. the original Unicorn🦄 HAT mobile.twitter.com/sxaTech/status…

Feeling a bit more in control of the @adoptopenjdk build status thanks to this LED array of versions/platforms at my desk on a @Raspberry_Pi #UnicornHAT which is pulling data from our @jenkinsci at ci.adoptopenjdk.net :-D

@bmarwell IBM's MQ JMS implementation shipped with an SxaSecurityImpl.class as part of the SSL connectivity support. I think it eventually got renamed but it was only ever intended as a placeholder name as I didn't have a better one at the time 🤣

@jonatan_ivanov Yeah you'd hope the number of reasons would be trending to zero now but a sizable proportion of the Temurin downloads are still from people explicitly choosing 8 (The default on the web site if users click the big blue button on the front page is 17)

@sxaTech "good technical reason" After almost 10 years of the release of 8? I'm not sure that reason is good let alone technical. :)
