A legitimate salvage.
I hack on microcontrollers, games, and 3D-printing projects as well.

I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

Turns out you can customize the ESP-NOW remote actions in WLED using a "remote.json" config file which utilizes the JSON API, so yesterday I was able to get my remote to be capable of doing pretty much anything WLED can do, and am no longer limited by the functionality of the Wizmote 😄
Found a cool project with example code for mimicking a WizMote and reprogrammed one of my wifi matrix keypad remotes to control a WLED controller using ESP-NOW

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

literally nobody else in the entire retro computing community I've seen so far has done this, and this is a VERY conservative group. fuck John Carmack.
I just learned that John Carmack misgendered and deadnamed Rebecca Heineman in his "tribute" over on Twitter. He probably thinks it's okay when talking pre-transition days, but FYI, most trans people hate that. Worse, he never calls her "she," switching to "they" for recent memories. Fuck that guy.

Went to see a local theatre troupe this last weekend and I keep thinking about this part of the act where every time one of the characters used the word "apropos" the other character scoffed and made mocking gestures 😂 I don't know why that tickled me so much but I found it hilarious

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.
