Oh shiiiiiiiit

It's glitchy but this one comes up, if I give it at least 80 mA at 3.75 V. (The batteries are long dead, and the factory charger wires got eaten by rats, so it's hooked up to my bench supply via test leads.)

I have such fond memories of these ridiculous tiny LED displays. This one is on an HP-35.

A silhouette view of an old calculator. The display dimly but sharply shows the digits of pi, with some noise and extra dots.

Mastodon Bird UI support for Mastodon v4.6.0 with CSS properties is coming soon. The theme will also be modularized using SCSS partials to match Mastodon's new style infrastructure.

The build process will include npm scripts and Parcel, making the theme ultra-portable for any Mastodon instance, whether added through the Custom CSS textarea or directly by a Mastodon admin.

I'll also create a simple bash script for Mastodon admins to enable the theme as a selectable option more easily than the current fork-and-cut method.

This is no easy feat, but definitely worth it.

GitHub: github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mas

Progress in the nightly branch.

Hey fellow people interested in independent music and sonic exploration, analog tape recording, tools and online community.

I wanted to give a shout out to @SpaDogs who joined the Fediverse after I suggested it to him.

I think he deserve some more friends, follower or whatever fedizens are called as he is a friendly and positive guy interested in cool stuff and always comments in a positive, friendly and non-scary way that I appreciate.

So how about giving him a follow?

Boosts appreciated.

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.
