Aerospace Aerospace. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Aerospace is actually fucking incredible. If you want a simple config file which is completely readable to understand it, you're welcome to the one I've built from the boilerplate one.

Honestly. Give Aerospace half an hour and it will make your Mac way more usable.

Ugreen. Lads. I love the effort.

What happens when you give M5 a big board to work with? They put fucking everything on it.

And then they use old camcorders batteries to power the thing instead of directing them to e-waste. 10/10.

“Claude has become a religion, that’s the level of that mania” “Anthropic’s strategy is fear, restriction, and the idea that a small group of elites should control AI””

Absolute scenes.No, you superfluous peanut of a man, it's not a religion.

It's a belief that we can use AI and do good if we build the barest fucking guardrails and actually run studies into harm reduction.

"Elites". You mean research being done by actual academics, not profiting from psychosis.

Matt Navarra (@mattnavarra) on Threads UK Government Bans ‘Barely Legal’ and Step-Incest Porn in Policy U-Turn The UK government will ban “barely legal” and step-incest pornography, reversing its earlier stance after MP pressure. Offende...

The porn bans are nothing but the construction of infrastructure to ban other content they find "objectionable". Like trans resources.

They're using things they think most people will agree with to get it in place. Then they can go after whatever they want.

Won't lie though. Aside from Dylan, all the main characters have *excellent* characterisation and depth.

I like to think that they tried to give Dylan depth too, but it just slid off Kevin Sorbo like ketchup off teflon.

"Yeah, Gene Roddenberry went on to make another show. It's called Andromeda. It's interesting - there's a subspecies of humans defined by adherence to Nietzsche - but it's a tough recommend for three reasons.

1. Kevin Sorbo is in it.
2. It's terrible.
3. Kevin Sorbo is in it.

Decent background."

So you pop open the Atom Lite datasheet to make sure this will work. And like the abyss, it looks back into you. And it points to the Atom Lite - a £9 device - schematics.

They put an IR LED in it because they could. Because there was space on the board. Because why not.

Ten million points.

"Ah, pish" you say.

You want to connect some legacy IR devices to Home Assistant. XIAO have produced a board for specific purpose, but you don't have one of those, and there's a 40 week (!) delay.

So you open your box. An M5Stack Atom Lite appears. Do M5 do IR TX boards? Yes! And only £4!

On the topic, let's not let their propagandising whitewash the regime. Iran's people are our allies, as are the working class of the whole world. But nothing's changed. Iran's government are brutal tyrants. They just happen to be up against another brutal tyrant right now.

Iran have released another song and it's suspiciously good again. Has anyone run any analysis to find out whether they're AI generated? If they are, AI music is so much better than I expected. If they aren't, do we know who's behind them?

These handsome devils with their fancy crowns appear to be Charaxes sempronius, the Tailed Emperor butterfly.

They're native to Australia where they feed on kurrajong or bottletree shrub leaves.

They're also famous for getting drunk & fighting on hilltops.

Let's talk about these tiny dragons.

People need work done, and some of that work can be done from anywhere. Charities will fall over themselves to arrange ways you can donate your time and effort to them.

It may be that you have to do it for an organisation that doesn’t directly benefit you - and, frankly, good.

Who you’re volunteering for. Who you’re making donations to.

And I don’t want to hear, "I’m disabled. I can’t volunteer." "I'm poor. I can’t donate."

I'm disabled and poor. I am volunteering for a trans charity in New Jersey because it’s possible to volunteer your skills remotely.

So you’ve decided that you’re disillusioned with MAGA.

That’s brilliant. That’s wonderful. But before you write your heartfelt, soul-baring tweet about how sorry you are and how sad you are, just save yourself some time and list what you’re doing about it.

Sure, we can’t keep up any more so there’s little point inviting us places, and when your life centres around going places and doing things that’s a core mismatch.

But it’s pretty tough to deal with.

I really don’t hate on anyone for being more capable or having more fun with their lives. You absolutely should be enjoying your life to your full capability. But there really are two routes people have gone in the last 20 years.

Too many cables

Too many cables

I have a frankly upsetting quantity of USB-A to USB-C cables. I mean I have a bunch of C to C cables, but that's to be expected.

But why the hell do I have twice as much A to C?

Gating your life admin app behind a subscription sure is a decision.

Do you make more money from the lock-in, than you do people instantly turned off by having their important documents locked behind a paywall?

I'm genuinely curious.

Release Ioskeley Mono v2.0.0-beta.1 · ahatem/IoskeleyMono Ioskeley Mono v2.0.0-beta.1 For Desktop Users: IoskeleyMono-Normal.zip — Normal width, all 10 weights. Best starting point for most users. IoskeleyMono-SemiCondensed.zip — Slightly narrower. Great...

Oh, FIT. Someone has done an Iosevka build to emulate the (expensive) Berkeley Mono font using the (Free) Iosevka.

And cherry on top, you don’t even need to wrangle the Nerd Fonts font patcher, because they’ve released pre-patched artifacts.

Very good A+ 10/10.

Ordered a Rabbit R1 out of curiosity. Camera motor broke in under an hour.

Talked into support, was impressed with how no bullshit they were, sending out a new unit the same day.

So I have a R1 I can take apart and unlock the bootloader on, and will have one I can leave intact. Thanks, universe.
