       @mntmn that’s actually a good reason to support you and the team even more. I’ve got my eyes on a Pocket for when I next start a project that will justify it.

       90s HP 200LX (80186 1MB RAM) + open source hardware #MNT Pocket Reform. I’m glad someone is still thinking of this form factor: very small but still usable for software development. #retrocomputing #retro #opensource #hardware

       @mntmn I almost got some Fairbuds - they are modular and repairable. But I ended up with Audiotechnica ATH50xBT2 headphones because they can work with either wired or bluetooth.

       @mntmn thank goodness for open source models. You can download them, see exactly how they work, understand them, and even re-train them.

       @mntmn I think training data is always going to be contentious; models benefit from using as much of the internet as possible - but not everyone opted in. Who knows how the best-performing open source models were really trained; possibly distilled from OpenAI’s? But for me they are a whole lot less problematic than closed remote models.
