Blissymbols is kind of fun to look at for a toki pona speaker; sitelen pona (the most popular hieroglyphic script for the language) shares a lot of features with it and Egyptian hieroglyphics. And it's pretty comprehensible—maybe easier for beginners than Roman script in some weird ways—while being tied to a whole speakable language that is decently easy to pick up. Might be fun for some of the people who think Blissymbols looks cool.

In brief, an extensible, syncable tool for making lightweight personal Markdown wikis. Emphasis on being very smooth and stylish. Emphasizes giving you a lot of tools that can suit a lot of writing/note taking workflows.

If I were to need to start writing a book this week, this is probably where I'd organize the research and composition.

> It was a reaction to the previous administration's foreign policy strategy, which was to position America as less of a world leader and more of a partner.

Happen to know of any direct discussion of this being the intent behind that slogan from the Trump administration? Especially from Trump himself?

I have fair understanding of a teachers' union. I think I can say that the NY situation is pretty degenerate relative to most places/unions. My cursory understanding is that if NYSED made an effort to actually push through their arbitration backlog at various points in the past, that situation would be much less ridiculous.

Around plenty of municipalities, teachers' unions are just trying to get teachers slightly closer to living wages, and trying to best advocate for their students. That's the impression I've gotten from being vaguely around during a lot of bargaining meetings.

rM support's statements in the past have been to the effect of "we aren't going to remove the root access; you need it for GPL compliance, and we need it for troubleshooting. And merely using it doesn't void the warranty, but we don't support third-party modifications." So if there's e.g. a flaw in the hardware that you didn't obviously cause by doing something absurd with modifications (e.g. overriding the temperature lockouts, deliberately wearing out the eMMC with writes, ...) they say that it shouldn't really effect your claim.

Now individual experiences with rM support have varied rather wildly between "they're great!" and "they're the worst!" so feel free to temper your expectations.

Color e-ink probably isn't going to be at quality-parity with e.g. LCD displays anytime especially soon. Kaleido is still really cool, especially when it's used properly, but it's probably going to be a bit too weird for something really like reMarkable for a little while yet.

Sometimes there's Indiegogo hype for "ooh, a large color e-ink tablet!" and I'd encourage cautious pessimism about those listings. Might be a good idea to wait for them to ship, and to wait for some reviews.

I was under the impression that rmcloud was an application grafted onto Google Cloud. Sure you're not mixing them up with Onyx?

"Flatmappable"

librespot is a reverse-engineered thin client (using the same api that e.g. your "smart speakers" would). It doesn't use official APIs, arguably violates DMCA, and you pretty much have to use it if you don't want to simultaneously run the full thick official client on the same device at the same time.

I mean, no product HAS to be for you, but part of the point of the board is that it's really, really easy to change the keymappings on a whim. If/when they finish the adaptive mode on Agent, you can in-fact make it switch bindings when you're in an editor/shell. Swapping ESC for ~ will take you no more than a few seconds using Agent, and doing any other remapping isn't drastically harder; I've messed with my maps plenty since I got my device.

As someone used to ANSI boards who doesn't use the arrow keys routinely (since I use a LOT of vim binding), it's generally pretty spiffy.

Maybe under some simple chord?

I suppose they can. Please do!
