This was my covid #Project, the keaboard by keawade github.com/keawade/keaboard

It's a columnular stagger split #MechanicalKeyboard with hot-swappable MX sockets and wireless capability. I've been using this as my daily driver for the last two years and I love it.

I designed it with #KiCad :kicad:, got it printed by JLCPCB, and assembled it myself. I'm really proud of it. :ac_pride:

It was a lot of fun to design and build and I learned a ton along the way. #Maker

2900 people have joined the iOS #pixelfedApp beta so far!

It's kinda overwhelming to witness the rapid growth in #pixelfed, thanks to the #twitterMigration

Pixelfed is largely a 1 man team, we don't have the amount of contributors that most other fediverse projects have so there is a lot of pressure and I'm doing my best. ❤️

For those who have downloaded their #Twitter archive data, you might want to check out this Twitter Archive parser by @timhutton:

github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

This converts your Tweet archive to #markdown and HTML, and replaces t.co URLs (which will break once Twitter goes away) with their original versions.

Afterwards, it asks if you want to try downloading the original size images.

Just ran this myself without any major issues, really easy to use as well.

Maurice Karnaugh of Karnaugh Map fame, died 11 days ago. I'm always amazed when a name like this shows up as it reminds me how young our field is. Though, he was 98!

Alright it's ready! The "Gauss Speedway".

I prototyped this months ago, and now finally did the re-spin into a better package without the mess of wires.

- Controlled by an STM32F051 on the back running #RustLang.
- Designed in #kicad, with my CurvyCad python library
- The cars are 3D printed, with 2mm diam. axial magnets glued in
- Gratuitously featuring my first ever #blender animation

I'm really good at making typos so I revisited the text-completion support in 's osk-stub and added a completer based on the library and trained it with a German text from @gutenberg_org and was surprised how well that works. 1/2

This is worse. #GitHub #Copilot copypastas code into new project with absolutely no attribution or licensing, and people testing it have proven that it copies entire snippets (multi-line) of code, regardless of license.

It was trained on ALL of GitHub, no matter what license the code was in.

So, it basically becomes a way to launder FOSS code into proprietary projects.

SO not ok.

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but:

A key thing I've learned about Mastodon: When you find people you know and want to keep up with, don't just follow them — add them to a list!

Merely following is not enough, b/c their posts may not show up in your feed at a time you're logged on. Unlike FB or Twitter, Mastodon has no algorithm to resurface your friends' posts from hours or days ago.

So create a list called "Friends" and check it when you're on. This will ensure that you see what they posted while you were away.

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

📈 Donations through Liberapay have jumped up a bit this week, as hundreds of you have started financially supporting the Mastodon and other Fediverse instances you have accounts on. As a result, we've reached new all-time highs: the number of accounts actively giving or receiving money through Liberapay has crossed the 10k threshold, and the weekly sum of active donations has risen above €15k.

Your Mastodon feed won't improve through passive engagement. There is no algorithm to suggest and share what you liked.

You must actively follow different people to see what they boost, and you must boost for other people to see. Some people are from different servers. You will see more of what they see organically. You can also hashtag to increase visibility.

There is no quote retweet either. You have to actively engage and comment in the thread.

🐧📜 Looking for Linux kernel posts on the #Fediverse?

Here's a list of Mastodon profiles that I follow. You can import this CSV file into your account and then view the list feed yourself:

an interesting aspect of LS1028A is that unlike the i.MX8 family, it does not need binary firmware to initialize DDR4. you only need firmware if you want to use eDP. it has plenty of PCIe address space, so you could couple it with a simple 2D GPU to achieve a blob free system.
