How do you budget for subscriptions, supporting developers or projects? How many “it’s just X a month” can you sustain? How do we encourage this model? What do you feel about this model?

@gadgetoid In my case it helps to not own a credit card.

@deshipu I’ve never found that a barrier to subscriptions but it certainly makes me consider very careful what I subscribe to.

I am so deeply, deeply tired of every god damned "can be answered with a tutorial" technical question search being overwhelmingly flooded with videos. I don't want videos. I don't want to listen to something I can read. I am at least 50% deaf. GIVE ME WORDS DAMN YOU. WOOORDSSSSS!

@gadgetoid not everyone gets to have their childhood defined by pong

@deshipu my littlest certainly does make a pong 🤣

I guess for next year I’m going to have to submit a talk to get a day pass? 🤔

What’s the least dull topic? “Bending MicroPython to my whims”, or “writing chip drivers in Python against my better judgement”?

@gadgetoid how about reasons not to write drivers in python.

spot the deliberate mistake 😆

(May or may not be a test to see if you find anything I've missed, hahaha)

@sad_electronics and yes I absolutely blame (or do I mean thank?) you for me giving it a try 😆

@gadgetoid @sad_electronics I tried! But I'm on my phone and I can't blow the image up far enough to read it properly!

Okay I've got actual stuff done in actual KiCad... first attempt at doing any kind of PCB work in years!

@gadgetoid why would you do that to yourself?

Do do day passes? 🤣😭

@gadgetoid perhaps you could lure someone to the gate and assume their identity. From watching films, the trick is to remember not to pick really tall or short people

@ahnlak expires? What kind of outrage is that 🤣

@gadgetoid I should probably finish something before 'investing' in the new shiny....

Me: ugh I can’t see the backlight through my keys!
KiBOOM: hold my beer

Close-up view of a circuit board with electronic components and LEDs illuminated in blue and green. It’s the backside of the keyboard as seen through the acrylic case. The undersides of mounted keys glow in red, blue and purple.
