17 hours ago I didn't know anything about USB interfaces. I took one look at a USB capture and the libusb documentation and implemented a whole new use case on pilot-link so I could use my Treo 90 on Linux.

Hire me. 17 hours from problem identified to problem solved and PR submitted, and that includes having slept overnight.

I desperately need a job that'll let me live anywhere in the world and work remote.

just used this myself! it's super informative and eyemodtool is a piece of cake to use, no fuss at all, just easy image transfer from your visor :D twitter.com/maplesbian/status/

i managed to make a little bit more progress, now it seems like the treo's response matches that expected from a regular palm device, but still doesn't hotsync: github.com/desrod/pilot-link/i

if anyone here understands libusb programming and wants to help me solve the issue of my treo 90 not playing ball with pilot-link, please check this github issue where i've provided more info and contact me for a full hotsync transaction usb capture github.com/desrod/pilot-link/i

Hate that I need to tap the sign again, but leave elon’s trans daughter out of discussions about his management of twitter, she got outed by court papers and didn’t want any part in this discussion in the first place

when you "don't take sides" on transphobia you are taking a side in saying that transphobic bigots are welcome in your community.

if you are a community moderator take notes that this isn't how you foster a welcoming community.

I absolutely love that to find out what your neurodivergent diagnosis is, you have to ONCE AGAIN go "okay, so what did the neurotypical person who asked this question actually mean" twitter.com/SNeurotypicals/sta

i've been asked how to extract the eyemodule databases from handspring visor PDAs to load in eyemodtool, so i wrote up a guide for it: maple.pet/blog/extracting-eyem

what causes a USB device not have "Product" and "Manufacturer" fields in DMESG? because i'm wondering if that's why pilot-link in libusb mode recognizes my visor but doesn't recognize my treo
