Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

More e-ink nerd stuff! A while back I was experimenting with dithering with realistic e-ink colors as opposed to the primary color palette. Lotsa manual Photoshop stuff.
Turns out the guys at Paperlesspaper have made an open source library to do exactly that!

My e-ink addiction continues. After playing with Waveshare’s Photopainter panel, which has no wifi but only a microSD, I was excited to try this Seeed Reterminal 1002 frame. Same Spectra6 color e-ink panel but with an ESP32-S3 on the inside, so it has wifi and can run ESPHome!

once again thinking about how overwatch excelled at building a player base that brought in non-traditional FPS genre players into the game (ie, cis women) through its innovative deprioritization of sheer mechanical skill and emphasis on strong character designs but then blizzard management choked it

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

Used my Harmony hub to learn the remote’s IR codes, now I can control them in Home Assistant and I have smart(ish) tealights 😄
