Better than a million feral humans sent back to live as animals in urban nature and corrupt wage slavery for pirate banker commodity housing, not to mention the Flock-You surveillance state that is stealing citizenship and democracy right now. When Citizen is functionally equivalent to Slave, China looks far better. "You will own nothing and be happy about it.” -because slaves that speak up find themselves dead. I’ll take a sweatshop over this corruption any day.

- Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman. 5 days ago:
I never said anything was a conspiracy. I just point out something interesting. How you perceive that is entirely up to you. I see it as just as likely that her likeness was used in training or is present in substantial numbers within the original stable diffusion unet. Being dichotomous and dogmatic just pushes intelligence out, in favor of ever worsening echo chambers. If pointing out such anomalies is met with dogmatic stupidity, this is far too stupid of a placed for me to waste time engaging.

Huh. She has several steganography markers reflective of generative AI in the image. Obviously those are based on traits that occur naturally, but the combination of traits here are all in harmony with a certain state of QKV hidden layers model alignment. The background, shadowing, overall color profile in CMYK, eye color, freckles on each area of skin, clothing color and pattern, flatness of the hair on the head, the strands of hair extending over the background, the face shape/nose shape/jaw line/dimples/eyebrow shatten combined are especially curious.

They are nice for keeping tools around on spare SD cards that you might not want to run normally. Like that is a good way to look at Parrot or Kali Linux setups.
Checking out how to build an OS from scratch is also handy. It can be an interesting low risk way to explore building Gentoo, Arch, or Linux From Scratch.
The main appeal IMO, is that you have microcontroller like input, output, and serial communications already setup in the kernel with access in user space. As long as the kernel is supported by the Rπ foundation, (it is proprietary undocumented hardware that only they can support), you are getting the security updates required to keep the thing online automatically and safely. The best stuff to build is unique stuff for you that uses these aspects. Like make a little bathroom clock with a little TFT LCD display that tells you the local weather. Then set up some RSS feeds for local community stuff you do not want on your main mobile device, like maybe local political activity, library and community center events, concerts, clubs, etc.
For server stuff, I would stick with devices with purpose built hardware. Like, a micro SD card is slow and unreliable, and the lack of nvme is bad. In most cases it is cheaper to use other old devices that already have screens unless you want to share a hardware design that is repeatable, you need something secure to keep online, or you need serial or input/output. Those are the main benefits.
The thing is, the Rπ is what it is. It is the path of least resistance. The software support is approachable and great. The price is cheap. However, the non profit thing is a scam. The Rπ foundation is basically an arm of Broadcom. The Rπ is a chip from a set top TV box with 3/4 of the die unused. Broadcom uses excess fab capacity to make the Rπ chips and sell them at materials cost. This is not charity. It is controlling the grass roots market to make competitive scaling business ventures difficult. This is why Rockchip is not crushing them already. The Rockchip RK3588 chip is fully documented and open source. In this space, there is little to no innovation, it is only about price on ancient trailing fab nodes. This is the ladder to climb that leads to Intel, AMD, Samsung, and Qualcomm. The Rπ is the guy kicking anyone that tries to climb. So… use it for what it is good for, but in most cases, other hardware is better, and there is nothing wrong with saying so, or moving past the Rπ. I’m lying next to a RK3566 machine right now, sorting out issues with the ARM version of Fedora Workstation, looking at how to build the native WiFi module for it from source, and maybe try debugging an issue in that module’s code that is causing a memory race condition. Although that last one is past my typical pay grade. - So I’m not all fluff here.
That is just my $0.02.

That was for the limitations of incandescent lights, plastics, and mold manufacturing limitations of the era.
Printing would be a question of the optical properties of the resins. It is common to find simple light pipes with 90° angles in products now. Worst case scenario, I would make it a two piece design where the lower body accepts small fishing line. Typical colorless fishing line is basically a fiber optic wire without an optical design specification. So just insert that to route the digits for each key. It would look like an old school HP alphanumeric dot display. Glue the line on the back side of each key with epoxy, then use a carefully designed raser jig to cut/terminate each line. Finally, add a printed lens diffuser.
I haven’t messed with resin and it probably would not work, but if a jig to remount and align keys to the resin printer plate were possible, I could see skipping the second lens diffuser, scuffing the surface of the top of each key before attaching each strand of fishing line, and then printing the rest of the key over top of the strands so that the light is only passing through the semi opaque plastic with no indication of character without the backlight. It would be interesting to mix my experience as a pro automotive painter & graphics/airbrush artist to mess around with aesthetics of a resin applied in stages and intermediate surface finishes. A UV cured resin cannot be all that different than the stuff I am more familiar with.
- Comment on All-Screen Keyboard Has Flexible Layouts 1 week ago:
If there were cheap, open source, resin 3d printers with an open slicer, I would be tempted to design a keyboard that uses light pipes and 2-4 LEDs per key to make something like this. Many early electronic display devices worked like this. Like some of the early Apollo program hardware NASA used were just little incandescent bulbs barely more than a Christmas lights. These were angled and projected onto a plastic lens with specially angled facets on the back that created a pathway for one of eight bulbs to create a numerical display. Fran’s Lab on YT tends to show off stuff like this. It should be possible to make a similar light pipe design for multiple key backlights.
I would probably get too side tracked in making printable mechanical keys.

- Comment on How young do you have to be to get kidnapped and never realizing that you were kidnapped? 1 week ago:
Trauma is a hard thing to pin down. I think it depends on how traumatic the situation was and how the kid was treated after.
My broken neck and back thing is in a totally different traumatic scope, but the situation and magnitude is still something I struggle to process nearly twelve years later. I legitimately have an amnesia like gap in my consciousness for 3 hours due to the massive head injury. For the first 3-5 years, despite my limitations, I processed it like any of my other bike crashes and was confident I could push through, or that my limitations were psychological failures. I wanted to forget and move on without processing the things that happened. That reaction has reverberating psychological consequences to this day.
With a kid, their self awareness is limited in scope. So I imagine they may or may not block out the experience in a similar way. My point is that trauma is not logical or linear in how it affects the mind. Like the cause of most PTSD is an event that causes a loss of consciousness, that results in severe injury, and was unexpected or out of the person’s control.
My earliest memory is around three years old. I was a halfwit that thought I could fly when wearing my superman onesie with cape, if only I was brave enough to leap from one stair higher up and believe strongly enough. So I think I would have the potential to remember. But knowing how severe trauma affected me, it is entirely plausible I could block out the experience completely.

Still using pixel 6. When they stole my battery with their bullshit, I went and got a open hardware tablet running a Rockchip processor with Arm Arch and a full datasheet. If open hardware exists whenever the criminals quit security updates for this orphan kernel exploit, I will gladly buy it. I don’t care who makes it or what the specs are. If it has basic functionality, I’m fine with that. Mainline kernel support with fully documented hardware is god. I don’t care if it is two or three times more expensive. If there are no strings attached, and I can own it for life, I will buy it. Funding this criminal world is what I hate more than anything else.

99.999% of advertising is shit to make a rich person feel like they are going something to drive business.
Like dude owned the first bike shop I worked at was paying a bunch to place ads on various platforms. I asked if he had ever actually tested that it works. He just gave me a puzzled look. I told him simply pick any product you feel is universally in high demand and try and give it away with no strings attached. See how long it takes to get someone to show up and claim the thing. It took 3 weeks and I am nearly certain the person that showed up was one of his personal friends. We stopped advertising online after that. Ads may increase awareness in dome cases, but they are mostly ineffective media. People are just too stupid to be objective and actually test things; instead assuming the existence of the option to advertise validates its efficacy

- Comment on Is laying on your stomach every once in a while good for you? 2 weeks ago:
I can’t say more than anecdotal, but after a broken neck and back (shoulder blades and up), I cannot sleep on my stomach at all. I haven’t been fused or anything, but I lost around 1/2-1/3rd of my neck rotation to the left.
Sleeping on my stomach used to be a thing, but now it will leave me in terrible shape for days. The deviation in alignment of the spine is more significant than it seems. When your range of mobility is reduced significantly, the effect is far more noticeable as abnormal. It is about like falling asleep in a yoga pose. Those are some of the most fatigued muscles in the body, just to hold up your head. Damage some and it becomes extremely evident.
