Im building a calendar for my car navigation system https://e39.dev
Last winter I built a Matrix client for it. This time around I want to wrap Akonadi with a DBus shim and consume that model in custom calendar widgets and UX I’m making for a rotary knob ui.
I want to run the same app on an intel atom tablet on the side of my fridge, with a Griffin PowerMate hooked up to it for input.
I think luxury goods, and the privilege of living within your means, is to be able to buy goods and instantly depreciate them.
I buy electronics equipment, computers, furniture, clothes, and cars with the mindset I will be the last owner of them, and they will have no resale value.
“I bought this, and I will assume it’s instantly worthless”
It keeps me from buying the same thing twice and causes me to save up for the thing I really want, and keep it for as long as possible. It also lets me be picky about my preferences and really scope out exactly what I want on a relaxed timeframe.
Perhaps it’s a side effect of growing up with hand me downs, and knowing anything our family owned was one step to junk, but it does keep spending in check now that I am doing okay in my career.
“What works for you only works for you, so you might not have discovered that it works for anything else, but only if you were really paying attention.”
Yes, a voice of commonwealth reason. Not everywhere is an at-will employment type of place, and it’s refreshing to see people be reminded that employee rights exist in parts of the world and that employment isn’t a one-way street.
