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.

@martinbean @hollylawly That inconsistency with account types is somewhat frustrating ... The "detect markdown" checkbox in the preferences exists regardless, it just doesn't seem to have this effect in one of the accounts without the required availability :'(

@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. :)
