    Is this a shitpost? I feel like this is a shitpost for a joke everyone is in on except me.

      I don’t get it either, but the 3 millilightseconds thing is (I think) a reference to the classic 500-mile email story.

      Jeff & Seattle was about this post: sh.itjust.works/post/43471235

      Basically, how many years does one have to work minimum wage to earn Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

    Looks cool!

    But I gotta ask: what is the deal with your font making all the I’s and L’s bold? :(

      I’m using Termux on android and I guess that it’s compensating for smaller screen?

        Please get Termux: Styling and change that font 🙏

      I’ve been using Termux but that’s awesome. Thanks.

      Oh boy is it junk though. It just supports calculation, not conversion or anything fancy

        It supports conversion. It’s almost all I use it for.

    qalculate is really nice. I even use it on Windows Enterprise installs that normally only have the old Windows 8(?) calculator included since the Microsoft Store isn’t a thing. It’s a huge upgrade compared to that POS.
