I could use stories of people who successfully didn’t get COVID when a spouse did. My husband had to travel cross country to help his mother in assisted living with various things. He came home sick (both masked and separated as much as possible on drive home from airport) he tested positive (first in this house) and isolated. We’re being good about masking and I’m washing my hands a lot after delivering food or tea but what other advice is there? I definitely do not want to catch it.
@kellyosullivan@augieray@cwgrody this is what we did but we also got hold of paxlovid prescriptions, which helped a lot by reducing the symptoms (less coughing, less crud in the air).
final outcome was I gave it to my wife before we realized what was happening, but we managed to protect the kids at least.
It's time for another round of "who wants to maintain a Pine64 device"
on todays episode, the PineBook Pro. Currently a community category device, but it seems that won't be for much longer as it's now sans-maintainer.
Please do drop a comment if you're interested in keeping this port in Community, otherwise it will drop back to testing and no longer supported by postmarketOS stable releases.
OK so this is the first MNT Reform Next prototype/functional mockup. The goal is to get a feeling for the new form factor and potential performance and to make progress on the iterative design process.
The bottom half is 3D-printed (multi jet fusion) while the top half didn't work out in print, so it's actually MNT Reforms top half! The keyboard, trackpad, display and hinges are real, but they connect to wires that go out of the back to a RK3588 development system.
Fellow Washingtonians: Despite passage 4yrs ago, the move to DST year-round has gone nowhere due to the need for Congressional approval. To avoid the approval step, a bill has been pre-filed for the next WA leg session to permanently adopt Standard Time in the state of Washington. If, like me, you think this is a fantastic idea, let your legislators know that you support the bill here: https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/5795
@BruceMirken@c20d I went to school in a place so rural I had an hour and twenty minute commute each way, on multiple buses. Given extracirriculars I frequently would leave in the dark and get home in the dark. Not once did I decide the right answer was to dick with the clocks in order to make my life convenient.
On the other hand, not once did anyone give me any justification for starting school so goddamn early. People are trying to fix the wrong problem here.
@mntmn any idea if the imx 95 soc from that forthcoming titan dev kit is pin-compatible with the reform? and when will the caseless 3.0 keyboards start to ship?
@cjk@prma there are terrible CLAs out there, but there are less terrible ones out there as well. The Apache CLA is a decent example of a CLA focused on preventing poison-pill contributions (i.e., a contributor later revoking license to their contributions, or a contributor providing code that violates their own patents, setting the org up for litigation).
Having to fine-tooth-comb a given CLA to decide if it's horrifying or not is a lot of work but in some environments it's worth it.
@drewdevault nominating "the build failure is expected" as the new "I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."
(just kidding, congrats on getting Hare and Ares this far!)
"Mastodon is great because it gives you tools to curate your own experience without depending on any centralized authority. Also, everyone here needs to follow these 5000 rules I made for what and how they should post."
@mattblaze@TechConnectify this description makes it sound like an utterly perfect 1:1 Twitter copy, which I agree is not an enticing product description at all
@drewdevault I'm a hardcopy man myself, but I travel and/or go camping a lot, and ebook readers are a must-have for me. I use the Remarkable a lot as a replacement for the endless series of army-issue notebooks I used to fill, but it's kind of shit as an e-reader. The Pine Note is the only computer product of Pine64's that I've liked, and I'm sad they half-assed it. With a postmarket install, FDE, and a bluetooth keyboard it would probably be my main computer.
