New idea - use the #Raspberrypi to directly drive parallel Eink displays. Pictured - Kindle 6" 1024x758 34pin panel driven by a RPIZ2W and (one of a kind) custom PCB.

Benefits - the RPI (or any Linux SBC) can create/push the pixels faster than any ESP32. low cost SBC.

"How Regions That Don’t Matter Vote for Parties That Don’t Bother"

What an absolutely BRILLIANT subtitle of this fascinating new article by @evertmeijers.bsky.social & @jvanslageren.bsky.social that perfectly captures this ironic paradox of (Dutch) politics.
Unequal Political Representation of Core and Periphery: How Regions That Don’t Matter Vote for Parties That Don’t Bother
Geographical orientation of political party families in the Netherlands, 2017-2021.

No, you didn’t “vibe code” it.

At best it’s an iteration on someone else’s work that not getting any credit for it because we humanised a database with a code shell
Just saw an instagram reel by GitHub on how copilot can hack a Furby and it just….

Ugh!

I am old enough to remember the people who originally did this, and copilot knows this because they generously shared their code!

Don’t act like copilot is cool, it’s f*cking thievery

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil
Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

As someone deeply concerned professionally with securing elections, i think making unfounded claims that elections are being rigged is an extremely harmful grift, that deserves strong condemnation.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
