ash spidersmy armchair opinion about computers for the season is that i wanna see a "software degrowth" movement. seems like software, games, even programming languages (i've heard), are made like overpowered computers are normal, good, and gonna be around forever (and always improving), and anyone on slow old hardware needs to e-waste it and buy a new machine. it's giving "speeding your SUV down the freeway for 10 minutes to buy a bag of factory-farmed milk from the grocery store".

@spiders other people make a WS2812 LED light up in a specific color by bit-banging it from arduino C. we compute timing values and make the hardware timer request updates over DMA, from forth. (next we need to make it, like, cycle colors, etc, but, ya know, one step at a time)
Consensus Tullyality@tully the idea here is that our mainloop sits in
wfi and only wakes up when the DMA runs out, tho
