@maddiefuzz yo drop the details on that track
@maddiefuzz this is like when i accidentally unpause an amiga MOD and a youtube video at the same time yet somehow I don't notice because it's accidentally a bop
Trying another school night stream, let's see how far I get in assembling this #rc2014 Why Em-Ulator Module in an hour
Also going to be trying Winamp and some public domain MODs from the MOD Archive as the soundtrack
I think I'd say that doing a school-night soldering stream of an #rc2014 module with Winamp running the soundtrack was a success!
Blogged again this week! :catGasp: This time, it's about the automations I built for helping include more teammates in the feature development review process for web and mobile dev

We'll see if I can keep this going, but I really want to try posting to my blog a few times a month this year, after years of neglecting the site. Got some topics brainstormed and want to maybe turn some of these streams into posts.
Also the irony is not lost on me that my first post in almost a year was fretting about how only AI training scrapers are reading my blog. 🤷♂️
Another fun thing is that I run Privacy Badger in Firefox, so I'm reminded that my own blog comments are a Disqus embed.
I keep meaning to replace this with something self-hosted, maybe fediverse / ActivityPub powered
@q3k I have enjoyed using the "swallowable / inhalable" metric for component size for years, ever since I once accidentally dropped a microSD card between the cracks in my floorboards
Somehow, the existence of this HHKB Studio keyboard with the trackpoint clone escaped my awareness last fall. I am aware of it now and that is troublesome. I am making grabby hands at the screen

@thegibson Oh dang, that's rad
@jbaty Yeah, that's the main thing which restrained my buying hand
Catsby likes to lay on things. Exactly on things. #cats
My passport is expiring soon, so I have to leave the house to get a photo so I can be approved to leave the country my house is in.
But, at least one alternative out-of-the-box solution is suggesting itself to me...
Of course, now that I know the name of this song I couldn't remember last week, it's playing in decently heavy rotation again. Maybe that's how it got stuck in my head in the first place 🤔
@soypunk I didn't even know they were doing that until just this morning :sadness:
@evanprodromou This is something I'd really like to tinker with using machine learning, an algorithmic feed "closer to users" based on the firehoses we can already individually & privately get out of a Mastodon streaming API or (more directly) an ActivityPub inbox.
One of the things that makes TikTok great (or I guess harmfully addictive) is that their algorithm really seems to zero in on interests.
I wonder if there's a way to do a "federated" algorithm, where you could have your own personal ML algorithm agent "follow" and collaborate with other folks' agents (with permission) to get socially augmented recommendations?
(I mean, there probably is... I'd like to figure out how)
@Greg 👃 👈
@selviano I'll batten the hatches 😅
@selviano That's okay, I have to google "hacker news" every time I want to remember where that site is anyway
Do I have to?
