Reminder that I don't argue with fascists here, I block them.
I also block people who whine that I won't listen to the fascists.
Who gets to determine when someone is acting like a fascist and/or fascist book licker? Why, I do.
If you don't like it, try not being a fascist and/or a boot licker.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.
DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up

Neat little thing I did a while ago. I’m working on expanding it, just figuring out a new color algorithm in the code beforehand.

All credit to Ryan for this awesome screen zone based backlight code. I optimised the heck out of it to get the backlight effect from ~20ms per frame down to ~4.4ms with a 64 sample average for each LED.
And as much credit to @rebelmike.bsky.social for the display driver code!
RP2350 runtimes!

I downloaded Warhammer 40k Tacticus on my phone a few days ago, and it’s been one of the most fun phone games I’ve had in a while
Also some of the lore tidbits I’ve been getting on YouTube since Space Marines 2 came out are so epic
I wanna know more

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.
I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
“Disrupt” is a very Silicon Valley word. Every time I see it crop up in a business-case, my bullshit-detection hackles go up.

Don’t let GOP sell you on their hate, lies, & vicious attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community!
The fabricated issue of who can use restrooms and play sports, is just a way to discriminate based on gender identity, similar to how drinking fountains & restrooms were used to segregate based on race!

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

But HEY IT WORKS
It’s a Fuzz pedal for guitar! It uses an LM358P Op-amp with a single DC power supply and offset, and when I fix the board, it will have a bypass switch and 1/4” I/O jacks so I can link it in my pedal chain!

I spent way to long trying to diagnose issues in my perf-board circuit only to run it in LT-Spice and realize I had some wrong component values 🤦♂️
Ended up with a new breadboarded circuit, will fix the other one later

A year ago, I wrote a review of Erik Larson's "In the Garden of Beasts," an account of the US Ambassador to Germany's tenure there in the early-mid 30s.
I shared lessons from the account that feel more relevant now than ever.
