This website is horrific I love it

> for an image feed website I used to be shocked at how poorly images were downscaled, maybe that's changed

It has not, still garbage.

> Their ideology is something like the Wokism of Discworld, a deadening, stifling, faceless force of intersectional lifelessness.

What? Do words even have meaning anymore? How is that anything to do with being "woke"?

Recently played on the yearly Jingle Jam charity stream, great game! https://www.jinglejam.co.uk/

As cool as this is, it seems a bit bare? Titles/descriptions are hidden away at the bottom of each page and all the renders are plain black and white (which makes me ask why pdf anyway?) without detailing purpose or use (where not obvious)

Very cool, I like the old school feel of watching whatever is on. That said I immediately noticed the lack of volume control, which IMO is essential.

Cool article but this first bit threw me off

> The interpunct is still in use today—it’s the official decimal point in British currency (£9·99)

When the linked wiki specifically points out that it isn't:

> In British typography, the space dot was once used as the formal decimal point.

Look Mum No Computer[1] is the most creative and inspirational guy in this space IMO and he goes through much of his projects in further detail on his site.

If you're looking for an open source version of the PO-33 (without the nifty little screen) there's the recently released zeptocore[1].

The delly is in an incredible piece of kit, especially now with the community firmware!

It really takes the soul out of making music. Why would you want a computer to design the sound for you? You don't learn anything, you can't honestly claim you made it or expressed yourself, and it won't truly be novel because the model is spewing out stuff based on what already exists.

True, but this isn't really something the page author can address

Love the pricing references

They're pretty great and compatible with most things. ESPHome [1] is a great resource for getting ESP32's working nicely with HA and you can find lots of projects using it to learn from.

You'll likely need to do soldering if you want to connect sensors, batteries and the like.

Personally I really like what SEEED Studio [2] does with their ESP32 boards and they have nice docs.

“If being woke means being worried about economic inequality, and racism, and discrimination against gay people, then I’m in. If it means being authoritarians, and policing language, and shutting up other people, then f*k that.”

This is a typically shallow take from Gervais

Can't wait to see what the community builds, exciting times!

I suppose if someone was en route to visit Stonehenge or Avebury it could be tied in!

As someone who owns a deluge and seems to know about this music community quite well, what do you think the prospects are for this to get a lot of active contributors? Do you see there being a lot of exciting improvements made?

Recently bought mine so very happy to hear this news!

You have anything to back this up? Seems like a stretch to say a weekend of training is all it takes
