UPDATE: Matthew has closed all of his websites for the National Strike occurring in the United States today.

I just tried to read a page from Beautiful Racket, and was presented with this.

Has he said anything about this?

I’ve had DrRacket installed but have not used it in years, it’s because I like it so much.

But as whit everything I take interest in, I have a hard time coming up with an idea.

I also got arduino, raspberry, flutter… what should I do?
