From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's funny you share this, a friend just sent it to me yesterday.

This is an interesting way to receive data but I wish there was a way to do the reserve. Take handwritten/handled input into a computer. I asked this question the other day if I could somehow input my handwritten notes into programs like Trilium (or logseq whatever) and memos. OCR/HCR seems to far behind still so I am unsure. That would certainly be a cool method!

Relatedly, there was a company was selling a cloud(🤡)-based product called "Little Printer" from 2012 to 2014; after their backend predictably shut down, some fans of it recreated it as https://tinyprinter.club/ and later https://nordprojects.co/projects/littleprinters/

somehow input my handwritten notes

I've heard the reMarkable e-ink tablet's cloud service has good-enough-to-be-usable handwriting recognition, but sadly I haven't heard of anything free/libre and/or offline that is.

This is super cute. Thanks for sharing!

I've eyed those for some time but I do prefer FOSS or at least only connected to my own server... That is a cool suggestion!

not so "funny" when you consider that the 3rd episode is released 2 days ago

What?? The link Arthur sent is not in that third video. What does your comment even mean?
