So I assumed buy now pay later was a long term play where they would eventually charge for doing it.
Turns out the businesses are footing the bill if you use it
Learned from the planet money podcast from #npr
Buy now, pay dearly? (update) https://one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5605981:nx-s1-mx-5802357

Didn’t realize Seattle band Two Minute Hate played at #Bumbershoot today.
I’d call them a slightly discordant Jawbreaker.

switched to #colemak a couple months ago and I don't recommend it. Too much work to switch and then you'll need to remap keybinds in programs. Then there will still be places in qwerty, another device etc.
So it you want improved #ergo I recommend limiting mouse usage. Vim and vim bindings in browser has a bigger payoff with a smaller learning curve.

The head guy for #eoma68, Luke Leigh ton, got multiple grants from #nlnet totaling over $350k for the libre riscv project while representing himself as “an ethical technology specialist who has a consistent 24-year track record of developing code in a real-time transparent (fully libre) fashion, and in managing Software Libre teams.”
As he was publicly documenting his failures on Eoma68, nlnet funds him for libre riscv and then he abandons Eoma68.
Did nlnet even vet this guy?

If anybody’s curious what happened to the #eoma68(the upgradable computer card)you can read through this mailing list: http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-netbook/2022-November/016443.html
It’s quite the roller coaster ride if you’ve got time to read.
TLDR: the guy heading the project(Luke) clearly has some issues and is probably hiding something. Small run of test cards show back up after 2 years and may actually get shipped.
