Profile pic is a drawing from the show Drawfee of an egg man that happens to look vaguely similar to me. Banner outfit is my late kitty Alfie, sleeping with a Zybo development board on top of him.

@effies Congratulations and good luck :) remember to give yourself grace!
Maybe this house from 1450 would look slightly less haunted if it wasn't for the random creepy decor. Though who wouldn't love Queen Victoria judging you from the end of the bed, creepy dog pillows, and cardboard cutouts flanking the fireplace?

@TheZeldaZone this gives me the visual, not of putting the backpack on, but of slipping on it like a banana peel

it's especially funny seeing the "aren't you worried about getting left behind?" argument about AI, speaking as a retrotech person.

Like, come on. I'm still writing software for DOS and Windows 95. What even is "behind" at this point?

In their native habitat fire ants aren't the dominant ants. They live on the margins of the rain forests, places where fire, a big tree falling, or other disturbances have made a gap in the canopy letting in the sun.

They need more water than most places in the US have naturally. So they are very dependent on people watering lawns, cutting down trees and brush and digging up soil.

They can't really compete with the native ants without those advantages.

@babe I don't remember how to read resistor bands anymore, what voltage is it?

The appearance of "right wing gamers" is an illusion caused by racist dicks in voice chat being literally 100x louder than a normal person, plus a massive push by actual billionaires to support loser podcasters who just say literally every game is "woke" and then gloat the 1 in 1000 times they accidentally hate a game that does fail, like Concord.

Right-wingers are right-wing, not gamers. Hate right-wingers. It is always morally correct.

Oh shit oh fuck my 3 year old has discovered the word "why"

This is the Graphics Gremlin, an FPGA-powered retro video card by the talented @tubetime whom I must thank profusely for sending along.

I love all the little messages on the silkscreen.
