Every once and a while, someone tries to convince me that C and C++ are not bad languages. Sometimes this is a well-meaning friend, sometimes this is a random drive-by, sometimes it's an out and out troll. Regardless, though, please let me assure you of a few things:

Ugh. If I want to keep working on Flashback, I'll have to move it from an Arduino backend to idf,py. I have no love for Arduino, but also, I don't want to have to fuck around with CMake, especially not duplicating logic between platformio.ini and cmake files.

Huh. Got a new ESP32-S3-USB-OTG dev board to test whether the UART issue was due to a defective unit, and... um. The new one failed in exactly the same way. The UART port just seems to do nothing at all?

It's kind of amazing that a Republican-controlled presidency, Senate, House, and SCOTUS managed to cause a shutdown, then Trump used the shutdown to tear down about a quarter of the literal White House, proceeded to starve literal children, and yet somehow Schumer managed to lose *on the optics*.
