gave up on pybasic on top of circuitpython, have now been porting stefan's tinybasic 2 to the gizmo
some text printing and scrolling is still bad but this is slowly becoming a much more functional basic machine

@atax1a true bit rot
Today I was reminded that old online chats offered context awareness for the people online: you knew you won't be a bother to a friend who has a smiley flower as a status; and you knew you might not be getting a quick reply from someone who's Away.
Today I don't even know if my friends are online or not. The messenger apps make the assumption that everyone is online, and if not, they will receive a push notification, and will reply to you as soon as possible. But this assumption is barely true. I bet it makes lives harder, especially for ND people
is gravy the new #fedimeta
like i have more luck using openscad to even get a cube the size and position i want let alone more complex shapes
Did you know that new #Emoji can be proposed by anyone, simply by following some guidelines laid out by the #Unicode consortium? There's a time window each year where they accept proposals, and a select few might make it into future sets.
This year I turned one in: "Circuit Board", which I was surprised to find 1. didn't exist and 2. had not been proposed before (though CPU and Microchip have both been submitted and declined in the last 5 years)
You can read my proposal here:
https://storage.googleapis.com/greg-kennedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf
and you can see the Unicode emoji proposal guidelines here:
https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html
Anyway, the odds aren't great of getting accepted, but if it IS then you can say "hey! I know the guy who submitted that one!"
Attached are the sample images I drew up for the proposal - which, incidentally, are now Public Domain as well. Enjoy!
