I read the url as: ever t-pot, as a reference to 418. Turns out it's the author's actual name.

That's a bit of a cynical take in my opinion. For a community focused initiative, I'd say they deserve a bit more slack in terms of expectations of professionality, scale and susta…

So how long do we have until companies can pay to be in the system prompt to be recommended for certain queries?

This is neat. The send buffers and live display give it a nice edge over something like Tera Term. One nitpick: I couldn't find the option to disable autoscroll on incoming serial …

That’s a fun coincidence. I was at a museum recently that featured work of Sema Bekirovic. One of her works was that of 3 snails crawling over a grid cube so from then on they were…

They could add an appendix with word math like 707 + 707 = 1414

Yeah these ‘predictors’ only make sense if they can give a countdown at a constant rate. The idea is nice but often they countdown at say 1dot/sonly to have the last 5 dots disappe…
