I got so excited about a device I am building that I started designing the enclosure before I even wired up the circuit to see if it's something I want to use.

To be fair this is my enclosure library so 90% of the work is already done and it's just making a few adjustments.

I guess I figure I'll build the device and then test it... if I don't like it or use it I'll find some else it can do. (Or see if others want one.)

I followed a link to a PDF file that was stored in Google Drive and got assaulted with options to let Gemini create an outline, list the main points, create an audio summary, or answer questions.

I just want to download a PDF file. That's it.

"We’ll be quick to delete/ban anything/anyone that stinks of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. No personal attacks, no bullshit. Got a political opinion that might differ from other folks? Good for you. Just keep things civil and respectful. It’s easy!"

"So yeah, we’ll see how this pans out. Hopefully we can get a fun, funny, and robust community cooking here—a fun, funny, and robust community that isn’t dependent on social media. So talk amongst yourselves! Read the comments!"

3/n

"Talking on the internet is weird. Back in the day it was all primitive chat rooms and AOL Instant Messenger. Then it was commenting—and arguing—at the bottom of articles. Then it was websites nuking their comment sections because there was too much arguing."

"If you’re a regular reader of this site we’re assuming you’re a person of culture and taste, and not an asshole. But we’ll say it anyway: BE COOL."

I've been slowly chipping away at this page on my days off, and it's finally finished! Check it out!

I can't stand what social media has done to the hobby scene. I know so many people on/offline who feel like they can't "waste time" on hobbies, especially if they can't use them to make a few bucks on the side.

Hobbies can be *so* beneficial to your well-being, so I say screw side hustle culture! Do fun stuff for yourself!

I went to a web site and it said "It's free! Just sign in with Google." and first though "Hell No!" and then I thought "That's not free..."
