@Pinboard @ncallaway @zeynep @Dr_Memory @steel_elk @WilliamOckhamTx all this needs to be blogged etc, it's too complex for a tweetstorm

@colablizzard @stevesi look, we build a javascript app that runs in the browser, we have been since 2013, and nothing you are saying here is true. Apple may sometimes drop the ball on some obscure newer parts of the HTML5 spec but in general Safari is an outstanding mobile browser.

@stevesi @johnolilly @gadishamia eh, kinda. I like the purity of ChromeOS, I am a "boil the sea, burn the boats after landing" kinda guy in that regard.

@_try__catch didn't you waste even more time writing that?

@johnolilly @gadishamia I would kill for a Chromebook with an M1 in it

@stevesi the ironic thing is that he was even more right than he knew: HTML5 is gonna kill a *lot* of native apps in the coming decade, and for the same good reasons!

Since it is available nationally now, I had to try one. Verdict: obamanotbad.gif https://t.co/mBWKMEBbKE

@susanthesquark "there's a snake in my boot!"

@Altimor yes I think this tweet got bounced recently because of your (correct!) insight? https://t.co/hkp6iaZ84C

@scottwasson wow! is it a super high res display, beyond 4k or something?

@AndrewJacksonZA they briefly existed as a thing yes! It was a company that made products from movies. https://t.co/KaDSdcSFU0

@xibwrangler @norenhusk Press S to pay respects

@textfiles huh, I had to look that up https://t.co/o16DNUzLnq

@bcoops222 yeah it wasn't ideal but I wanted to support all those groups a bit. next round will be different on Monday!

Complete! We raised almost $1700 in this round, thank you everyone. Winners are @joetannenbaum and @nickheniser 🥇🥇 https://t.co/C2uYBMVVGK

OK officially closed up! Will pick the two winners at random soon! Thank you 👏

Closing this up in a few hours; last chance to enter and support good causes in GA!

@textfiles I do love a good WHIRLYMURDER 🚁

@burgerbecky yeah that was a good one

@john_lam @migueldeicaza I hope there is a headphone jack in there somewhere

@dangoor can also run Linux, of course ;)

@zeynep ok, but, what can we as citizens do about it? I'm fundraising for the GA senate races and writing postcards to GA every day. And we all voted. What are your proposed next steps for Joe and Jane Citizen?

why yes.. yes I am sure! Hands, unlike Microsoft Silverlight, are never obsolete. https://t.co/e5FjFrB0a0

as usual entries close in 48 hours! I figured AMD deserved some love in this week's contest.

@marcus_baw @techdiction Yes, @discourse

@OmarShahine I just started testing mine.. works on the Chromebook with just USB-C cable and tested in Windows 10 over HDMI with a USB-C power adapter. I give it a 👍

@OmarShahine ah, this is the "newer version" at $139 https://t.co/Tl3WxaV4Db

@OmarShahine I got one for $140 on black friday https://t.co/lytiKAdaj9 -- it's quite nice!

@textfiles is this a new / recent policy change for Google?

@siracusa that other guy is wearing a t-shirt with the controller instruction diagram on it!

@Carnage4Life oh my gosh you nailed this one.. props 🔨

@patio11 I remember the original PayPal promotion which was similar. Sign someone up and you both get $10 is what I remember? Oh wait it was $20: https://t.co/qXeI3q9KWh

@jokorkiakoski we should kickstarter a real rewrite, with each program implemented elegantly and succinctly in Ruby, Python, and JavaScript!

@jokorkiakoski phew, glad to hear it isn't just me! It's quite a thing to rewrite a BASIC game after 40 years and come out on the other side with something .. worse .. 😖

@ZachWeiner https://t.co/ZlKzpfvz0E

@bai0 lol yeah BASIC "compatibility" was kinda sketchy

Also is it just me, or is the 2010 rewrite of this game much worse, aesthetically? How is that possible!? See for yourself, 1973: https://t.co/sJ5x9YsYGJ and 2010: https://t.co/MGTe8mx1st .. Must.. resist.. urge.. to.. refactor.. code.. from.. 1973.. 🤕 https://t.co/nkUCzH1Jla

and the amazing art! https://t.co/YZy6BNSaRO https://t.co/Qe3rNQZw3J

Such a rich history here 🥰 "Ahl stated in the book that it was difficult to find a computer installation that did not contain a version of Star Trek" https://t.co/rLIIGE9NTo

it is very cute that Microsoft updated their "classic" BASIC, 30-40 years later https://t.co/gADHKKnVUK

@chris_herd 'tis tackled https://t.co/7y4dRfCbwS 😉

@joshk @firstround shoulda gone with Qwikster

Everybody to the Limit! https://t.co/ypkuc31Pr6

@carstenhag not sure? Maybe you can ask the source of the quote, "Richard Webster, a clinical researcher and methodologist at the CHEO Research Institute in Ontario, Canada"

@carstenhag “We think the amount of UV you need is about 20,000 joules per metre squared and you probably aren’t going to get that in your hand-held device."

And now.. a picture book written in Python! 🐍 https://t.co/aw7lFfTp7A

@waxpancake hmm yes @wilshipley was noting the same behavior 🤔

@wilshipley so you're saying ... you don't like ads? That is such a unique, nuanced position to take 😉

@strikeralley @BrentO @seangrieve I switched to the form the week before this one, because I committed some human error in recording the entries (in my defense there were a LOT of entries!).. the final two (next monday, and the monday after) will similarly use the Google Form

Wow! Y'all raised $11,058.43 for Jon Ossoff, thank you for your generosity! 🙌🍑 And the random winner is.. @jgillette .. congratulations! 🎉 We'll do this again on Monday with even more fun stuff, so stay tuned! https://t.co/YYPVBdJgO7

@oddsofdisco yes! https://t.co/X3dFR3l3BG

OK closed it up, thanks everyone, will post results soon!

Closing this up in 1 hour! Last chance to enter!

@Ted_Spence seems to be the reference, yes! 🙌

@donpark @scottwasson Well I did have a buckling spring keyboard here in my office at one point but it was so ridiculously loud..

@donpark @scottwasson ugh linear is bad mojo.. hard pass on linear

@tensor_bodega delightful 🎻🎶

@donpark @scottwasson I can't recall which switches for these two keyboards?

even the cable is xxxtra fancy! 🥰 https://t.co/QRNeb4nPRI

@psmay yeah this is a bit of a splurge but @scottwasson and I used to work together (indirectly) a looong time ago at Tech Report.. https://t.co/xwANyggOTE

@deadprogrammer @scottwasson chunky AND sparkly, too.. hard to see in the video but it's there ✨

@SteveCannici @BrentO we are doing these weekly, so the donation does need to be during the time of the event as announced

@michaelpryor @scottwasson it has a great feel! Scott knows his way around a few keyboards..

the second fancy keyboard commission, masterfully built by @scottwasson -- I added the mt3 susuwatari keycaps https://t.co/yIW30aqcQX

@GregSWils added! sorry about that!

@BrentO @seangrieve are there a lot of people.. not.. following the instructions? 🤔

@Supermathie Woman As President https://t.co/RMfocAkUxC

@ederemer indeed, apologies -- I've added you to the "missed" spreadsheet so you'll be entered this time

@unserkaiser I'm not following. They are public tweets as you can yourself see from the screenshot

also, I apologize to those of you who I missed in the previous M1 Macbook Air round -- if you appear on this list, you are *AUTOMATICALLY* entered in this round. We're using the Google Form this time (and future times) so I don't commit more human error https://t.co/od6nD0md1r

@cdixon classic

@djbaskin @EdwardTufte yes I wondered about that 🤣

@textfiles omg that's *exactly* how it went down for me when I saw this game at the arcade for the first time https://t.co/VaYYAzmhCz

@miketdavies I'm still waiting for the Wii to come back in stock

@JoannaStern https://t.co/IN6NbVa47k

@castrojo I would kill for a server version of the M1

@jeffsand Why is everything so damned delicious looking at Casa de Sandquist?!

@ID_AA_Carmack @colinmarshall @Frauenfelder @openculture I did this in 2015 🤣 and I can prove it https://t.co/UwH0PmgMvz .. scroll down a bit to see my verdict and a video of the floppy disk in action!

@mattblaze Ignore these randos! Don't even give them the time of day! You're doing fantastic work. 👏

@bdharrington @thomasnewton It's really great. And I had the 1st gen model as well circa 2001-ish, the engineering progression to the current model is notable .. almost no quirks now, very reliable. 😻

@kpoulsen I like this red line technique you're using a lot .. who you gonna call?

@paulmather007 @ayyLeMal @ErrataRob supposedly Apple's recycling program is kind of crap though, @kwiens may know more

@waxpancake maybe it's like Android developer mode where you have to tap it like 10 times to get the magic
