Wait - I saw a link to a Slack chat workspace. Do they have something for Slackware Linux as well?

MAGiE: Your MAGnetic Interactive Explorer
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:
Rewind to the start of the story: https://magiegame.com/test/2025/04/04
Or skip to today’s puzzle: https://magiegame.com
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.

> able to retrieve the footage contained on two 1’ APEX tapes
I'm no expert, but I think they meant 1-inch AMPEX tape.
Also, perhaps they should record it in doubly. #ThisIsSpinalTap #Stonehenge #InchsToFeet

I checked, and my pages-based site was down, but it is back up now.

But what if it only appears uncontrolled?

Oh! That reminds me of an idea I had once for a “kid-powered computer”. Here is a sketch that I made to illustrate how a disk-drive works: https://flic.kr/p/an8kAA

I’ve had at least one job where the employment agreement actually mentions intellectual-property exceptions. So, I just brought that up with the recruiter/HR person and they whipped out a form where I describe my existing project. Someone (a lawyer?) reviews it to make sure I’m not competing in the same field as the company and everything was good.

Well that’s just the point: implementation is not worth fifty thousand dollars, but the solution to a business problem probably is.
“Consult”ing with problem-havers and working out how to make the problem go away.

But compare the NeXT Station to the current Mac Pro. This is a similar product with similar use cases and price tag.
The current Mac Pro gets a 9/10 repairability score on iFixit[1]

Oh!
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!

I recently paid for Working Copy and use it for mobile access to Org and Markdown files. How does this app work worth it?

Aren’t political or religious groups protected?

But the site is not a law-enforcement official.
Also, a person’s health-care information is quite private.
