So first, a preface, I really don't wanna buy anything Raspberry Pi anymore after their social media manager, Liz Upton, went on that big spree of cop apologia, insulting their users online, and going to the press to dismiss the incident with weird culture war canards about organized harassment. (Context: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/12/raspberry-pi-shows-how-not-to-mastodon/ )
But I'm left with two RPI Zero and four RPI Pico to use for something. It can't be an original project, as I would not be able to share it without causing more RPI being sold.
you could make an instance that recites the right keywords, fake profiles that claim the proper oppression credentials, set up a LLM to make up fake accusations about people who are always picking up fights, and it would take weeks for you to be found out
The first video of what might be a regular series about DIY hardware synthesizers! I put in a ton of work into this, give it a look, and let me know what you think.
It's so great that nowadays all those amazing math visualizations exist and are widely shared on hacker news and still never reach the high school kids forced to bang their head against the teachers trash explanations for months instead of grasping the concept within 4 minutes
Trying out Gnu plus Linux on the desktop again. First search result about my first problem is an angry forum dweller chastising a first time poster for not using the search function. I am using "EndeavourOs" which advertises that one is its main benefits is a "friendly community".
Progress on the mini Eurorack case!
It's using two AC-DC wall warts to provide a bipolar power supply cause that's a cheap and totally unsafe way to do it.
One of those things i was thinking about last year was how it sucks we have no centralized community for making 3d printing accessibility aids for your local community (for free or cost of materials yknow)
Reminded how on twitter (rip) someone was like "how can i have this game controller mod printed for my disabled friend" and people were recommending super overpriced services that would never tweak their slicer settings right
Those kinda controller mods very often make use of compliance - the ability of plastic to bend but not break. You need to know your stuff to print them right.
They were in australia, i asked a friend of mine living there to ask their friend into 3D printing to get in touch, so maybe they got hooked up
But like, who needs stuff locally? I'd love to make my machine useful. It's not like i'm running it 24/7. And I can make bespoke designs adapted to your needs... I just have zero clue what you need, and you have zero clue i live nearby and would love to help
@Jyoti ugh. First peertube instance i joined i left cause they were chummy with harassers
Now I'm gonna have to delete my makertube. Cool
No way they gonna be able to handle my lyrics once i upload music
I'm here to reply to every single thread to remind you that Van Gogh was on the record supporting the nazis. Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were made against Aristotle. Emily Brontë was pro-shipping. Oscar Wilde defended Contrapoints. Jean-Luc Godard was a Ethereum/NFT bro.

The lack of a unanimous response over calling tech.lgbt "just like kiwifarms" is absolutely pitiful.
In any more functional scene, you'd be laughed out of the room months before you'd accrue the social capital to say absurd shit like this.
Instead, you can say this and still manage to be taken seriously and cause damage.
And tech.lgbt is a deliberate target. The targets victimized so far were trans weirdos who self-host pleroma for a group of 6 friends. The sorta people who are also plural / autistic / furry / permanently destitute and dependent on mutual aid.
Now, the stakes are raised, but not too much: yes, tech.lgbt people are a bit more presentable as a whole, there's more cis gays, and they are not all economically lower-class (as "tech" implies). But they are still very neurodivergent, explicitly welcome furries, and so forth: far from being model minorities in the respectability olympics. And there's only 4 thousands of them - still small enough to be a rounding error. And they have an history of preferring appeasement.
So what do you say? They would make a fine scapegoat, do we sacrifice them?
Oh yeah while i do that funny anime av i should remind u how old i am for maximum cognitive dissonance
did i tell u about the first time a computer betrayed me? it's when i discovered the family's tv had NO SCART for my NES. i was interviewed on tv and they recorded me bitching about that.
Come on, we already had the EXACT SAME STORY like, if i remember right, 4 months ago? Normie cissie novelist wrote about the most milquetoast hetero sex possible and lost her google account.
Don’t leave your gas stove unattended on high for 6 hours. Don’t drive down the highway blindfolded. Don’t put your life’s work on an American Company’s server. Don’t drink bleach.
