In other news, I think I'm going to be able to make a delightfully silly cyberdeck thing with this old kid's toy. The black square is a full 720x720 display that entirely fits within the "screen" recess, and still leave room for the punch cards to be inserted behind it. Originally those determined which of 64 different sequences the buttons had to be pushed in, to teach counting or words or whatever the card had printed on it. In mine, that will be what accesses different modes. Want to see the weather report? Insert the weather report card. I think it might actually be an interesting experiment in a more deliberate, intentional form of mobile computing.
It has taken way longer than we hoped, but we now have our own instance. I have just finished migrating my account so I would appreciate it if you could boost this post so our little instance gets noticed by a bunch of servers.

@davidgerard 48kHz is the metric sample rate, used by Napoleon. 44.1 is the Imperial sample rate, used by Queen Victoria and ultimately derived from the Roman sample rate of 400 hectoHz, used on Roman CDs ("CD" being 400 in Roman numerals).
There's a message in yesterday's UK Supreme Court decision about trans people, for everyone else.
For the far right people who are behind this, trans people are the wedge issue. They will not stop at us, and eventually you'll find yourselves where we are.
You'll know the Niemoller poem: "First they came for the socialists... ". In fact, at the start of 1933, first they came for the trans people, but he didn't know that.
If like him you say nothing, don't blame us when they come for you.
