Cistercian Numbers; are an extremely interesting and basically forgotten number system developed 8 Centuries Ago. It is much more compact than Arabic and Roman systems, you can basically write any integer from 1 to 9999 with one character.

I finally have a break from work to demo the Librem 11 again. I was impressed with the quality of the decryption screen and haven't seen pics online anywhere so I thought I would share that here. There are many things to love so far.

My Pixelfed post has 9 photos but my post here on only has 4 -- so to see the full photos check out the original post I guess.

Im impressed with the quality of the USBC charger and cable OOB, this is going to be an interesting few days.

Initial feel is really good, light and small enough to have a use case, the magnetic pen sticks good and the magnetic cover is pretty good, i have yet to have any complaints, however i am not sure i should trust it entirely to keep the device from sliding out -- it will take usage to fibd out.

I had a associate draw on it using #krita #linuxart #art #pureos and they were impressed and felt it was good ebough for their sketching use case at minimum.

I will get feedback from long time 15 year #wacom #cintiq users, i would imagine they will find it adequate for some professional use cases which is excellent news as we have tried #wacommobilestudio and other devices with different degrees of success on #linux -- FYI wacom mobile studio is a PITA due to #nvidia having such problematic linux drivers -- it can be better to ommit usage and simple use #intel in that scenario.

The keeb wasnt working oob so i plugged in a wired on, i imagine its a easy fix, #phosh GUI didnt play nice with #krita but considering the value of krita on a light #tablet thats no big deal as it can be swapped out for #gnomemobile or other interfaces as convergence becomes more defacto.

I am pleasantly surprised, i am sure i will run into some rough edges as with any generation 1 product but my first impressions are that purism did an excellent job. Im sure there will be room for criticism ans self evaluation too but all things considered in my opinion we have a banger here -- the cameras were pretty decent too at a glance on the photos app.

I think this may be the year of the linux tablet, ha /s

Here are some photos of the Librem 11 that just arrived today. I ordered on day 1, hopefully this helps people understand the scale of the device -- see #steamdeck comparison.

My initial impressions are extremely impressed but I am pretty easy going considering I really like the pioneering in the #linux space by Purism. I'll write upore on my other account soon.

I worked into the night and had a delivery scheduled for my in the morning FML, so I lay on the couch near the front door, get up see the truck chill at my driveway a while and then bail.

It's like do people not know how to knock on doors anymore? Were they here but the slight of hand was like a mouse? I'm not really sure.

(As I write this I see a second FedEx truck drive by)

So now I get to wait to see if they send me some "oops" email.

Still not as bad as where I had to wait 4 separate days and on the one day the air was 200 pollution and the 2:00pm delivery finally arrived at 9:00pm

is real. I wish I could buy some kind of giant mail box and not spend a day waiting when I have important business to take care of. /vent

So I canโ€™t [edit ]the toots after posting them. When I click nothing happens. Here is clip from the weekend

TIL there is no island of Kokomo. There is a Kokomo, Indiana, but Iโ€™m guessing thatโ€™s not what The Beach Boys were singing about. Iโ€™m so disillusioned.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign

Went to a pump track this morning for the first time. Absolutely brilliant! Great fun. #surfskate #skateboarding
