  4. RE: esperanto.masto.host/@Debby/11

    Since every so often I find an open hardware project that is completely unnecessary for me and just amazingly wonderful at the same time — a 3D printable typewriter is exactly that. It is wonderful — I love the idea not only because it is so nicely quirky, but also because it offers the possibility of customizing a self-made typewriter, for example with a personal typeface (font) or a special underserved alphabet like, for example, the 28 letters of the Esperanto alphabet or maybe the Shavian phonographic alphabet or another rare genre of alphabetic system.

    It's just amazing how talented some people are and how open-sourcing it makes it possible for everybody to apply their creativity and find new and surprising ways to express themselves.

  6. Laborfleisch im Fokus:

    - In‑vitro‑Fleisch könnte Tierleid senken & Ressourcenverbrauch halbieren.
    - Kritiker (z. B. PETA) hinterfragen Sicherheit, Kosten und ethische Folgen.
    - Pilotprojekte laufen, doch Skalierbarkeit & Akzeptanz entscheiden über die Marktreife.

  7. 🎉 Oh great, another heartwarming "tech saved my life" saga! 🎈 Because clearly, the road from prison to open source is paved with Github pull requests and angelic tech bros willing to "take a chance" on #felons. 🙄 Let's all pretend this is the norm and not the exception, because who doesn't love a good fairy tale? 🧚‍♂️✨
