The doohickey contraptionation is finally wired. It worked a lot better once I stopped doing clever things and started doing dumb things. The oled power is switched directly off a gpio pin, to stop it powering weird during deep sleep I override the i2c pins to 0 too

Doing a silly little weekend project and fucking nailed most of the critical dimensions first time no test prints or anything, just some guesswork and the calipers. Forgot to carve out a channel for the xiao battery connector though so I'll need to melt that in with the soldering iron

Every single time I think I should use platformio for a project and it's probably better now it ends up fucking up in some new and exciting way. Even when I'm not doing anything particularly interesting. It's really disappointing

People in big SUVs, whilst we appreciate your gestures of thanks please express it in a way that doesn't involve unleashing the god of ra directly into our fucking eyeballs. It's like being flashbanged

Sometimes it's handy having the can bus of your car freely accessible in the footwell

"I wish I had the ideal shape for a voxel based construction system" The humble cube:

I always find it a little frustrating when I have an idea, spend a decent amount of time implementing it, only to find out someone else already did it better than I ever could have done

Jesus Christ it's all quite bad. My unending solidarity to the vulnerable in America right now. It looks like the next 4 years are really going to be rough

Sink the UK into the sea, I hate this stupid godforsaken island

The beck of my head is gods drumstick and the edge of my desk his drum

Kind of annoying there's no easy way to keep the NFC coil energised on an android phone. I've been experimenting with NFC led nail stickers but they shine best when illuminated with a proxmark

Iconic pin name

Motor go speeeeeen

Happy new year everynyan!

Motors for cat ears :3

I've served my duty as family repair technician over the Christmas period by fixing the water, there was no water pressure

Oh? You're approaching me?

Finally playing the game all the lesbians in my phone seem to like

I wish there was an alternative twitter client that only had the Japanese rabbit accounts because they're so wholesome and the bunnies are so cute

Gf and I saw conclave today, wasn't sure what to expect but god damn it went hard. They were all such gossip girls it was unreal

Setting up a new toolbox with masses of space is a very satisfying feeling

The t&s team of a what is now a massive social media platform should maybe consider saying something other than "it's open season to enable harassment of someone who has you blocked, so long as you don't say bad things yourself"

I need an oddly specific motor for my mechanised cat ears, and was coming up with all sorts of bad ideas before I remembered I'm an adult with adult money and can just ask the OEM on Alibaba if they'll rewind their gimbal motor for 3-5V operation

Going through the wrong puberty screwed me up in ways that are difficult to put into words and the sheer trauma of it cannot be understood by cis people. I would do anything to stop other trans people going through that trauma. Fuck the Labour party and fuck Wes Streeting

It's finally finished (just waiting for batteries and keycaps) and it's truly glorious. A lot stronger than I thought it would end up being, most stacked plate designs are a bit flimsy but the sheer number of switches ties it all together. I still need to design some angled feet and fix the keymap

Google photos loves to jump scare me with pre transition pictures lol

Just spent 2 days doing some functionality completely wrong and now I feel very stupid for not realising I could have done it better about 10 different ways. Need to practically rip it all up and start over. Yay

Being transgender can be incredibly isolating sometimes. I don't believe cis people can really understand how it feels, why getting misgendered all the time is not just a "teehee oops" and how dehumanising it is to watch your rights get debated in the newspaper

This race is absolute carnage. Wtf were race control thinking not rescuing the mirror when they had the chance

The poor Williams mechanics. Both cars got clonked and it wasn't even their fault this time

It's kind of wild to see the enormous free Palestine march through London on a Saturday and realise there's been a march every week for over a year now and mainstream media doesn't cover it at all. I saw mention of it on social media every so often but in person it was amazing. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
