They/them online pseudonym. Anti-capitalist, anti-religious, anti-spiritual, anti-AI, anti-fascist. I was apparently raised in one of the more relaxed branches of a cult.

I don't have a fully fleshed-out political theory yet, and I'm not sure I can attain to one, but I belong somewhere among the anarchists and socialists.

I play with music, clay, and technology. I also post about cooking and repair work.

No alt text, no boost.

Fascists fuck off.

Interesting (but entirely anecdotal) note since I started responding with human trafficking assistance resources to every incoming sha zhu pan ("pig butchering") text message -- they have stopped completely. I believe I got added to some exclusion list the criminals pass around. So I can endorse this strategy on several levels now.

Inspired by @josefprusa 's new license "for the maker community", OCL, I'm introducing it's long-awaited sequel, SOCL!

Like Hollow Knight Silksong, it promises to be an improvement over its prequel in every way.

Looking forward to community adoption and feedback!

All that said, I've passed on a few designs that provide basic tip and sleeve connections just fine, and I've gotten close to a working design with jack sensing switches by using plastic to compensate for the malleability of run-of-the-mill copper wire. Nothing I'd like in a product, but prototype-worthy.

I'll make a page about these in my digital garden some quiet moment in the coming weeks and release at least one of the basic designs for anyone who might like to use it or build on it.

Well, it's back in the queue with my changes now.

The jack design is going to be somewhat dependent on getting in touch with a spring-making shop. Copper wire is, I think, too soft for making a mono jack with a sensing switch. To do this properly, I'd need a vacuum furnace.

I've hedged my bets with a custom PCB footprint that should be able to accommodate my own jack design as well as the commercially available one I found recently.

In this case it was largely due to my putting off thinking concretely about the expansion module until after the "primary" module was "done," so I suppose I should have guessed this would happen.

Never fails. As soon as I put my design in the panelization queue, I have another idea about how to tweak things. Just realized I could make the shift register and its expansion module one and the same if I just rearrange the expansion header a bit and "normal" the jacks.

@xgranade @gatesvp @anildash @curtosis Boy howdy, if there's one thing that I am intimately familiar with, it's that techies have *no* grasp of the difference between "licenses" and "consent" and nothing will make them roll their eyes harder than trying to explain why those might not be the same thing.

Which, again, I'll note that the comparison between Twitter and Bluesky shows exactly what the problem is!

Bluesky *is repeating previous tactics*, exactly what Anil is accusing AI opponents of. Social media controlled by venture capital owners is not inevitable. AI is not inevitable. An enclosed cultural commons is not inevitable. We can fight, and we can win.
