I was in one of these recently and it was no big deal. I'm still a closed loop individual of individual sapience. There's definitely no humming of the collective mycelium spirit in the back of my mind. Don't worry about these

What in the what is this speaker? Is it an Altered Item from The Oldest House crossed with LLM hallucination? Transporter malfunction of a box of consumer electronics? I kinda want it.

I'm reading the "environmentalists are wrong about data centers" piece from the NYT and ohmygoditssofuckingbad. Apparently, so long as you're punching left, they'll just let you say any goddamn thing you please... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/o...

I'm developing a new game engine #picogame for CircuitPython, and I've ported your game to it. As a bonus, the code is about 40% smaller because it takes advantage of the native engine's features 🙂 I will share the code soon. picogame.makerclass.cz

picogame

Make little games for MCUs in Python. Try them in your browser or on your PC, then play on PicoPad and other boards running picogame firmware.

KiCad v11 will be gaining geometric constraints. This is based on the excellent library by @freecadnews.bsky.social planegcs. You can test-drive this feature in today's nightly builds downloads.kicad.org/kicad/

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

The CircuitPython Show will return Monday, July 27th!

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Burgerville Vancouver, WA ⭐ $ The Northwest Cheeseburger from Burgerville, with Tillamook cheddar cheese, as well as mayo, ketchup, pickles, tomato, and lettuce. The only fast food burgers I'll eat. Decent value. The sides are often better than the burgers but it tastes like nostalgia. #CBDB

If you want to reduce crime rates, don’t invest in policing. Invest in libraries.

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

New case for the Xteink just dropped. I love makers.

Chris Person@papapishu.bsky.social · 6mo ago

The Xteink X4 is underpowered, flawed, has no backlight, and no touch screen. But it's tiny, cheap, magnetically snaps to your phone and has a devout community loves it. It has bloomed into something special thanks to open source firmware. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/xteink-x4-ch...
