Intro 8/10
After finishing my Easy Robot, I designed a paper circuit that uses the same robot base but with different controls: Two light sensors "look" at the screen. Black/Dark means stop the motor on this side. White/Bright means start the motor. To control the motors, basic transistors are enough! No microcontroller, no hardware programming needed. Slide in the phone and you are ready to go.
There are 3 different versions now: Paper Circuit, Breadboard, and PCB (WiP together with @maroveTimo )

Two hands using a smartphone with an interface having to sliders. In the background is a DIY robot looking like a smartphone with wheels. The first smartphone in the foreground is controlling the motor speeds of the robot. A DIY robot that looks like a smartphone on wheels. The upper half of the screen is visible showing a blue face. The lowerpart is hidden by a breadboard with some electronik components. 
The components are two mosfets that controll two motors. The mosfets are switched on/off by two lightesonsors that are bent to the smartphone screen (hidden by a sheet of paper to protect it from light) a laptop screen showing a block based programming envoronment (MIT App Inventor). To the right of the screen is a smartphone robot looking like a smartphone on wheels with an orange cardboard/paper base.a DIY smartphone robot looking like a smartphone on wheels. The upper part of the screen shots a blue face with some controlls reading "test your motors: motor 1, motor 2" there are two switches to turn on/off the motors. The lower part of the smartphone screen is hidden behind a PCB with various electronic components on it: tw Mosfets, resistors, an LED and an on/off switch. Two light sensors are mounted to the back side of the PCB so that they can see the screen.

New in Astro 5.7: the experimental Fonts API. Say goodbye to boring fonts.

Built for performance, privacy and ease of use, the API makes it simple to add beautiful custom fonts to your site.

I love this shot courtesy of @roundcrisisroundcrisis (a.k.a Andrea ) 😹 🦙 from my talk yesterday.

To me, truly respecting and honoring diversity in tech means respecting and honoring the vast array of cognitive and neurodiversity that exists in any large group of people.

To build for the future we *will* need to call on diverse minds and that means not using discriminatory and reductive models of human ability that only look at narrow neurotypical "executive function" measures as predictors of potential

A slide screenshot shows a high resolution image of cherry blossoms with text on top of it that reads Cognitive Cherrypicking, and text underneath which reads taking a small piece of evidence wildly out of context and overgeneralizing about it. To the right of the screen is a small video of Cat presenting this talk, looking passionate

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber

BlueSky is split up into several separately hosted components. I forget the technical terminology

Contend providers actually provide posts in a way similar to an RSS feed. They are very easy to self-host

Aggregators collect these providers and create people's feeds. These require huge resources to self-host because you have to store the entire network (a very very high storage cost only businesses can afford)

There are also servers that provide moderation - something a client consults to go "should I consider this person banned?". These can be self-hosted, but in the default app it's hardcoded

If you use a non-default app, you can't see profiles that require logins (so any artist who wants to avoid AI scrapers)

DMs are entirely centralised

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber somewhat, but if bluesky the company goes down the network collapses

you can store your own data on your server

but bluesky owns:
- the main appview
- the main moderation service (which is hardcoded into their appview and can just disappear your account from everyone else)
- the main relay (AFAIK there are no real alternatives, they can also ban you on this level if you run your own data server)
- the service storing information about user IDs (DID:PLC, IIUC if this ever goes down most accounts are immediately gone)

So, I watched on the airplane. I was really impressed with it. The single-shot technique is a little distracting -- I kept looking for tough shots instead of focusing on the story -- but also gives a really human-centred feel to the action across many POV characters. I thought the reveal in the interrogation room was stunning. Owen Cooper's portrayal of Jamie is masterful; hard to believe that a teen actor can reach that deep into the human psyche. Whole cast is great.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Как уже было написано в объявлениях, это произойдёт через пару-тройку месяцев.
В связи с этим я уже не первый раз вижу то как все создают треды "куда бежать".

Так как у меня достаточно неплохой "outreach", предлагаю сделать ультимативный тред "куда бежать".

В нём предлагаю:

👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать

👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт

👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт

👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера

👉 По возможности обсудить не поднятые в этом треде вопросы, которые вас волнуют

#️⃣ Также предлагаю хэштег #LorshMigration для тех, кто хочет сейчас что-то обсудить по теме или после закрытия сервера найти друг друга если что-то пошло не так. Я уже подписан на него и сам пишу под ним посты о своих впечатлениях о переезде или делюсь информацией по теме.

📔 Если есть желание можете поучаствовать в субтреде переписи переехавших указав откуда и куда вы переехали.

ℹ️ Пожалуйста, помните, что этот тред - это не общение со службой поддержки, а просто переписка с людьми, которые по своей инициативе решили вам помочь.

🫡 Всем пользователям lor.sh - спасибо. Желаю вам найти себе уютное новое пристанище.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ, что в Mastodon есть функция миграции и вы можете унести всех подписчиков с собой. Начинать жизнь на новом сервере с нуля и терять связи - не нужно! Чтобы узнать подробнее - читайте тред дальше!
⚠️⚠️⚠️

我的朋友們、應該會保護我的吧?
(只要他們有在我旁邊的話)

⋯⋯感覺就是自己又再一次被那個朋友賣掉了
原本只是一件「陌生人來找我搭話」的小事,我並不在意。但過幾天朋友拿了某個照片問我「是不是這個人找你搭話」什麼的,絕對哪裡有問題吧?
⋯⋯畢竟他常常把我的照片放在他朋友的群組(但我完全不認識那些人)
所以也有遇過有人特別出現在我和朋友見面的場合,說什麼「我終於看到你了!一直很想見你!」的話
(我當下超級困惑「為什麼這麼說????」)
等到他解釋「我常常放你的照片在他們群組裡」之後,我才知道我一直都被他賣掉

我非常討厭這種感受。但是不知道怎麼和那個朋友說
