since oscilloscope graphics are doing the rounds again, here's some photos from that time a few years ago when I built a gizmo to show dril tweets (and assorted other nonsense) on my ancient Tek 466

i did not know that being trans was a possibility until my late teens. we have informed consent now instead of RLE. we can prevent HIV. mental health treatment has come leaps and bounds. there are a million medical improvements, period

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

example adapter for CR2430 here: www.printables.com/model/138385... (I made one out of a couple of tiny scraps of wood before I could get to the makerspace printer, so this isn’t necessarily a requirement or anything)

CR2032 batteries are 20mm diameter and 3.2mm thick; CR2430 are 24mm dia / 3.0mm thick; CR 20 16 are 20 and 1.6 hth hand (They’re interchangeable because they’re all the same voltage; they just won’t last as long. You can shim a smaller battery with paper/plastic so long as it touches the contacts)

has anyone shown @badambulist.bsky.social this yet

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

I'll be honest, at teardown, talking to others helped remind me that the dev board i made for portable personal blinky art is really cool and sweet and I should be proud of it. I can't market it for shit but that doesn't mean it isn't a good board: www.crowdsupply.com/chipperdoodl...

There are two wolves inside of you. Also two sheep, a giraffe duo, two iguanas and a pair of fleas. Noah has made a horrible mistake.

there will be an article that says "ai used to cure cancer!" and what they did was use a neural network to simulate a technical process that previously wasn't easy to automate, but ai boosters will read the headline and assume someone just typed "claude, cure cancer. make no mistakes."

excuse me i go to bed at 2am

a good piece of advice i once got is to disregard any despairing thoughts about the trajectory of your life that you might have after 9 PM. those are the night thoughts and we do not speak of them

"decisions about trans care for minors should be made by their parents" is an anti-trans policy position, inhumane to the point of absurdity, which only sounds pro-trans to people who aren't paying attention. what those words mean is "the children of bigots should be left to suffer with no recourse"

Valerie Halla@valeriehalla.dicot.moe · 2w ago

"decisions about whether or when minors access transgender medical care should be made by parents, not politicians" actually they should be made by the minors in question, who are human beings. if you don't need parental consent to experience one kind of puberty why should you need it for the other

oh no

"It was good when it was a thousand other pieces of art, and it was good when it was broken down and fed to the machines piece by piece until its value was determined to be nothing." @nikostratis.com getting to the point with AI music, and AI in general

An empty bit of good.

Let the machine work and drain and sputter and purge, may we dance and clap at what meagre pleasures it can conjure.

Here's three employment services providers making >$1m in donations to the political parties of the government of the day over the past decade. This is a down-payment for the Government to look the other way on fraud and misconduct. No-one has ever been referred for prosecution.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com · 2w ago

CICTAR’s damning report reveals just how crooked the employment services system really is. Ever wonder what those “employment providers” do with all the money the Government gives them to harass you? Donate it back to politicians! 1/2

The goal isn’t to replace the work of humans. It’s to make a case for its devaluation.
