We made an aluminium Tangara! :3

Bluetooth seems to work fine, even face down on a metal surface (??)
We love how it feels!

a Tangara music player with an entirely anodised silver aluminium case, held in my hand.

the case has a slightly rough bead blasted surface, but looks quite pleasing.

the screen is on, showing the device is playing “Equilibrium” by carbon based lifeforms over bluetooth.

in the blurry background of the image is a plant and an air quality monitoring device.

a non-zero part of my hesitation to try selling <small open source hw thing> I’ve been working on idly for years is the fear that someone might unironically refer to me as a “founder”

i would bite them !

the actual evolutionary purpose of the belly button is as a place to put the estrogen / testosterone vial while preparing for the injection

the hardest part of online opsec is displaying just enough hostility towards the british that people will assume you’re from the US / Europe, but not so much that people think you’re also british

Erin Rose @erinrose.bsky.social · 3d

they’re probably mostly british, so it’s not exactly a tragedy

any program that allows you to enter a unitless number in a field should also permit math operations inside it.

F360 lets you use Formulas (really good), Inkscape calculates it for you (pretty good), but inconsistently I've found tools that allow it in some places but not others, if anywhere.

taking this concept further - I want any form with a “Gender: other” text field to let me do mathematical operations in it

and with far better thickness tolerance! (at least with all the fr-4 suppliers I've tried for milling)
