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
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?
:shiblobnerd: I treat Fedi as my virtual living room, not as an open forum for bigots, or like an influencer trying to make the numbers go up.

Always see people rotating around big time keywords like “the revolutionary appropriation of queer bodies in anti-colonial spaces” i got no fucking clue what you on about, you’re making it complicated on purpose so it’s as removed from real-life as possible. then you always try to sneak in some horrible “therefore this is why a specific oppressed group is bad” conclusion nobody really notices the first time.
Look, antisemites bad, homophobes bad, racists bad, transphobes bad, nazis pew pew it gets the rifle in the streets. You can talk like that too if you want.
Was waiting to find someone else talking about da share zone to avoid having a viral post about it myself on fedi.
And i wanna add: Always like that. Trans fem labor used to create something, and chased out when the thing is successful. Keeps happening. Keeps always happening.
As a whole, most talented bitches on earth. They keep the computers running. They're more fun that anyone doing standup professionally. They make better music. They got more clever political shit to say. They got 100 dollars in the bank and live with an abusive dipshit and their community want them dead

KosmoPi complete! It's a EuroPi hacked to fit in the 5U format.
The EuroPi is an open design multi-functions module by Allen Synthesis, available as plans + Gerbers, or sold as complete kits: https://www.allensynthesis.co.uk/
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.
@winter i am not autistic but i have the following pdf file containing an inventory of 58 different self diagnosis protocols with various charts identifying trends in the last 31 months, please let me know where it would be convenient to upload a 36.861 MiB file (i prefer to use Mebibytes for their greater accuracy when measuring file transfers)
