> what version did you buy?
I have an A06, also have a RISC-V core. When I got the uConsole last year (which arrived last month; their shit is good but they do not ship it very fast), the RISC-V version was like $150 or something, so I figured I'd shove the RISC-V chip into the DevTerm to play with, and I put a CM4 into the uConsole. (The CPU boards are interchangeable between the two devices. Except for a few small bits like screen orientation, the same images boot on both as well.)
> its it at all pockatable?
It's about the size of a paperback book, a little longer and a little thinner. It doesn't fit so great in any pocket, like you could put it in a hoodie but the uConsole would fit better, but you don't need a whole backpack or anything. When I take it somewhere, I have this little case that I got for my EeePC back in The Day, and it fits both a DevTerm and a power brick, little pouch on the side for cables and whatnot, so I cram the SDR dongle and phone charging cable and spare microSD and stuff into there. -

@adiz @racuna @ins0mniak @threat @god It's cool, but it's 100% thumb-typing, you can't really touch-type on it. It's a little more like a "product", body is more solid, but it's also a little less useful. You need a tool to crack it open. I like it, it's cool, but I don't have as much use for it as I do the DevTerm. On the other hand, photographers have this saying when asked "What's the best camera for $x?" and the answer is "The one you have with you." The uConsole is kinda like that: even if it's sub-optimal, you can fit the thing in a hoodie, as long as you cover the screen the body is more rugged (Mg-Al instead of plastic), like that, so it's the computer you have with you. -

@adiz @god @ins0mniak @racuna @threat Like, the DevTerm completely replaced my Thinkpad. I wouldn't be able to say that about the uConsole. I like the uConsole but it's not a replacement for a laptop. -

> they no longer have the thinkpads we know and love layout. however there are some newer models that are making the turn back around. although that soldered ram is for marks.
Yeah, thus my whole DevTerm situation. You don't even have to keep the same CPU architecture.
> i3 from xfce/ratpoison
Yeah, I've bounced around WMs some. Except on one machine (this one, which runs fvwm), I'm just running ratpoison everywhere nowadays.
> to keep myself flexible i'd swap window managers to force myself to adapt after.
I think there's a threshold, right, you can deal with some number of new things at a time if you want to keep work going, so I don't bother twiddling distro or window manager or things like that very often.

> it's a sub-optimal stick
Well, in this case it's a stick I love. I legit like the DevTerm more than I liked my T60, if that's an indicator. Any machine's gonna have trade-offs, upsides and downsides, this one I like very much, the downsides (keyboard is workable but is a little small, no place to shove 2TB SATA disk, some software is dumb about vertical resolution so I sometimes have to tell X to do panning, things like that) are minimal, and the upsides are it's a very convenient machine: I can type on it conventionally, I can lay down and hold it up and thumb-type, I can stand up and hold it with one hand and type with the other, or hold it with one hand and scroll PDFs with the same hand; battery is standard 18650, lasts a very long time because low-wattage CPU; very hackable machine, schematics and .stl files are published, circuit diagrams, anything can be replaced; no moving parts so less wear and tear; as many USB ports as a Thinkpad.
The RISC-V one that I did Slackware on, that's kind of a wimpy single-core CPU, only 1GB RAM, but because none of it is devoted to running a conventional browser, it actually feels nicer. -

> I cannot use computers with non-Thinkpad layouts.
Even Thinkpads no longer have Thinkpad layouts now. Anyway, I used to think like this, so when I started using Inferno, I didn't touch acme much: I figured that anything besides vi would be impossible to use and my muscle memory was going to fight me the entire way and my subconscious tics like periodically hitting ":w\n" were going to get in the way. So I'd edit Limbo programs in vi and then pop over to Inferno to compile/run them. When I eventually decided to try using acme at work, it took me maybe a couple of days to get back where I was. Coding involves way more thinking than typing, so that stuff doesn't matter as much as it seems like it would.
I took my DevTerm when I went out of town for a week to watch my grandfather die. I also chickened out and packed an x220 just in case. I wasn't getting a lot of work done (not in a great place mentally; grandpa raised me, I was pretty bummed), but while I wasn't working, I did spend some time on fedi, some time analyzing the Poast/Baest hack, etc. I ended up not even booting the Thinkpad: the DevTerm was fine for everything I needed to do. (On rare occasions where it wasn't fine, like the wifi at the hospital being way better than the wifi at me mum's place, or having no elbow-room on the plane, it was at least no worse than the Thinkpad would have been.) -

@racuna @god @ins0mniak @threat That was about half the reason I went with Thinkpads for so long, and was the first thing I noticed when I saw the DevTerm. -

@hackernews Remember several months ago when everyone was shitting themselves about AI replacing every job? Remember people posting a million messages about how programming was obsolete?
Remember when I said "It's some VC dickheads just manufacturing hype to pump their investments, it's another bubble, they do this with AI every ten years" and "Call me when OpenAI fires their programmers"?
No? No one? Okay, nevermind. -

@TheMadPirate @deadheat @pomstan You have missed the point. Geopolitics is amoral and the only reason this matters is because Israel/Palestine is a remnant of cold war politics. If you give a damn about convincing zionists they are wrong instead of realizing that the question is stupid, then you have been played. -

:mgsgb_5::mgsgb_a: I reply, thus sticking my dick in a hornet's nest and having notifications that contain only messages about Israel, most of them being repeats of previous messages about Israel, and all of which are heavily emotionally invested in the emotional/moral framing of the Levantine Hutus/Tutsis, so everyone will ignore roughly half of the facts; mute thread in disgust three days from now; get depressed that people half volunteered to take one side or the other of the bad dichotomy ("I support Ukraine because CNN" and "I support Russia because knee-jerking out the opposite of whatever the NPC does makes me a radical free thinker with important but dangerous ideas"), then get drunk and start speculating that the CIA has psyopped fedi.
:mgsgb_5::mgsgb_b: I don't reply and I pick one of the following options:
:mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_1: Why are xpdf 3.04 and xpopple unanimous in failing to recognize Motif libraries on this tiny box? (P9P's page(1) doesn't do PoC||GTFO very well. The stupid qt5 xpdf 4.x doesn't do *anything* well, especially if your screen has a weird aspect ratio plus this tiny machine has one core and 1GB RAM and qt5 can't do "Hello, World" in less than half a gig--and it's still less demanding than gtk3.)
:mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_2: Clean up my CRUX ports tree and upload it somewhere or clean up some code for Inferno or 9front so that I can send it upstream.

:mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_8: Play with the dinky ssh interface because I had an idea while in the bathroom trying to debug the PDF build.
:mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_9: Bounce between 5-b-1 through 5-b-8 most of the day (because tired) and complete none of the small tasks, let alone the big one, and wake up as tired tomorrow with exactly as much done but now a panic because I've burned half the weekend without direction.
:mgsgb_6: Time passes and we are all slowly dying while you idiots are arguing about Israel.
Actually, now that I think about it, those are eight choices and that's three coin flips.
