As expected, the Qualcomm enshittification of @officialarduino.bsky.social has begun. Expressif's ESP32 stuff has already been a better platform for some time... I guess I'll have to learn the ESP-IDF ecosystem now instead of the Arduino IDE.
A social media post from Adafruit that says: Qualcomm-owned Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform. The new documents introduce an irrevocable, perpetual license over anything users upload, broad surveillance-style monitoring of Al features, a clause preventing users from identifying potential patent infringement, years-long retention of usernames even after account deletion, and the integration of all user data (including minors) into Qualcomm's global data ecosystem. Military weird things and more. Several sections effectively reshape Arduino from an open community platform into a tightly controlled corporate service with deep data extraction built in. The most striking addition: users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. That's a profound shift for a brand long embraced by educators, makers, researchers, and open-source advocates. With the cloud having a rough day and many systems offline, yesterday... Anyone invested in transparency, community governance, or data rights should read these documents closely.

That thing that happened to airports in the last 15 years where they kick out all of the eateries that people like and invent new shitty brands, all owned and operated by the same parent company? It's happening at music venues! Live Nation offers the same nasty syrup cocktails at different venues :(

I love my OneWheels but really dislike the @onewheel.bsky.social company. First there was all of the anti-right-to-repair BS when the GT came out, and now my very expensive GT-S' charger failed just 15 months after purchase. Their response? "It may be time to buy a new one at onewheel.com !"
Screenshots of emails ordering a $3,400 OneWheel in July of 2024, and then them denying being able to replace a failed charger in October of 2025.

*italics* and **bold** in the original Markdown spec is illogical.

It should be /italics/, *bold*, and _underline_.

Delightful read.

"The primacy of meta-activities—optimizing for algorithms, visibility theater, consumer entrapment, externalization of costs, performative internal alignment, horse-trading amongst a set of DOA ideas—is poison."

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.
Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero" Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life" Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now" Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"
