If you have any old electronics with gooey rubberized coatings, you can usually remove it with isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). It’s not always a perfect solution, but at least it won’t stick to you anymore. If it saves something from becoming e-waste, that’s a huge win to me.
Here’s my Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 that had gone all gross. In the last few months, I’ve also used it on a Nikon Coolpix camera, a PS Vita ergonomic grip, and an Anker Bluetooth speaker.

@jonobie Totally random, but now I have some late-'00s "VideoSongs" like this stuck in my head.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Just as a warning for folks, even though inbox category tabs predates these "smart" features by probably a decade, shutting off smart features will disable inbox category tabs.

@mcc I really like the idea of printing the whole framework, especially on my smaller printer. I've had this tab open for years now with a similar project I want to build, but never got to it.

@patriksvensson Thank you for your work on this. I just “finished” a silly v0.1.0 project using Spectre.Console. I’m kind of excited to see if I can get it using the Tui side of things.

@MLE_online@social.afront.org I hope you can be picked up for this. I want this to be a nationwide thing too. I would absolutely take this class from a local community college!!
Some of those schools have proposal systems for outreach-style (non-credit) classes.
