A simple puzzle game: a cassette-futuristic story, heavily inspired by Nell’s adventures at Castle Turing in Neal Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age”.
I could go on and on...
I’d love your feedback:

Right now I’m focused on story development and integrating it with the daily-puzzle system I built last time I was between jobs.
This is a years-long slow-burn side project. My career moved away from the frontend long ago—this is my first React app, with a Django backend running on AWS Lightsail.

I'm no expert, but I think they meant 1-inch AMPEX tape.
Also, perhaps they should record it in doubly. #ThisIsSpinalTap #Stonehenge #InchsToFeet

So I can install the app and it can just open the files that already sync through Git/Working Copy? I’ll just have to plunk down my nine dollars!
Speaking of plunking down money: thank you so much for not making this a subscription!
Also, a person’s health-care information is quite private.
In other words: cheap walkie-talkies that don't comply with FCC regulations.
Such radios typically max out at 5w.
The LimeSDR claims 10dBm - which I believe means about 10milliwatts.
In other words, that FCC memo is concerned with radios being sold that are something like five hundred times as powerful as a LimeSDR. And therefore much more likely to interfere with other transmissions.
Amateur radio operators can seem undisciplined compared to professional or military operators.
2. It’s not like there are millions of great books out there. Some entertaining ones, some informative ones, a few that are both, and a very few life changers.
2. FBI isn’t arguing for new ways to break encryption, they’re arguing that old ways to cripple encryption should be used on purpose.
But I’m not the one rioting.
Those of us with stable housing take a lot of things for granted.
“I’ll just shower at the gym.” Turns a shower from a 20-minute operation to more than an hour.
Food storage and preparation.
Clothing storage, care, and maintenance.
Not to mention that getting homeless in the first place happens because of lack of resources (or poor allocation of barely sufficient resources).
Then on top of that, an eviction on your credit report makes it harder to find a new place.
And finding a place is hard and time-consuming. Not even taking into account the deposits and other costs.
Are you looking for a definition of "journalism"?
And don’t get me started on marker ink bleeding!
