       @omi_geek I like Ivory on my iPhone and iPad. That said, I'm posting this from the Toot command line interface on Asahi linux…

       @mntmn Yup. Consumption taxes have been a bugbear for the pro-tariff crowd in the US for a while. Many of their states charge sales tax only if the delivery destination is in-state — the equivalent of border refunds of VAT/GST. But they don’t collect on import as most  VAT/GST countries do. If their federation was better coordinated they could fix this, but their sales tax works at the state and even local level.That said, I think 15% is higher than almost all their sales taxes.

       @mntmn https://typewriters.com/typewriters/nakajima/ perhaps? Zero experience with them, but they look the part.

       @mntmn don’t disagree, but the full machine emulators and using the old OS are part of the fun for me — I’d like to see a standard for interoperable networking between emulators and access to virtual printers and modems and so on, so my emulated Mac 128k could print to my laser printer in glorious 72dpi.
