hug all computers

they're doing the best they can

@maple *brings tea*

It's almost as if existing in a capitalist society sometimes forces people to take ethically suboptimal actions

LINUX! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!*

*parts of what you want to do will be a complete pain in the arse for legacy reasons

@maple yeah, it seems that this is yet another one of those things that linux should be really good at but for some reason it's a complete pain in the arse

@maple not sure if it helps, but I did some digging and it seems that miniterm.py, which is part of pyserial, might work with arbitrary baud rates

Of course anything using linux's standard serial things won't do that because :linux:

the hedgehog cafe has its first customer

@noelle Fun fact: lemons are far better for preventing scurvy than limes

The Royal Navy used limes because we were at war with/had just finished being at war with/were about to go to war with every single country on the planet that grew lemons

I'm sam the octopus, benevolent ruler of the hedgehogs

as if the hedgehogs don't have enough luxury with not one but two houses we've built for them in the back garden I've built them a little hedgehog cafe in the front too
