It’s difficult to have hope in these terrible times, but I don’t want to give up. And I don’t want to ignore things or hide from reality… but I also feel old, and tired, and small and powerless. Maybe if all o can do is be there to support others that will have to be enough for now.

What happened to SparkFun?

Did they get bought? Sold out? Everything looks different...

My order history appears to have been scrubbed. It's all gone... I relied on that for easy reordering.

I've been working on a project that is tiny and the Seeed Studio Xiao RP2040 board has been a great fit.

Like any other RP2040 board I work with I use Earle Philhower's arduino-pico core, which is awesome. Adafruit's NeoPixel library is also getting a good workout...

Holy shit! Commutation of Leonard Peltier's life sentence! I first heard about him from the 1985 7" release "We Can't Wait" by Plasma Alliance...

Another Fediverse rule is to just follow @Alice

Don't ask questions, just do it.

Coding is like life, just try stuff, if it doesn't work try something else. Still doesn't work? Ask others for help, look things up, try again. Don't give up.

Who the fuck creates a web site that does not allow me to command (or control) click on a link to open it in a new tab? Please quit your job and never code again.

Welcome to the Fediverse @Erikhelgestad

I'm hoping to hear about your recent Maker Adventures.

(And make sure to follow the #maker hashtag and maybe check out #MakersHour as well.)

I love when I write code I don't fully understand and it still works.

(But I also sort of hate it...)

If you are a #tiktokrefugee you should know about one of the rules of the Fediverse... you are supposed to post a photo of your cat. If you don't have a cat a dog will do, I guess. (But cats are better!) 🐈

Just a quick note to the #tiktokrefugee crowd... Hello and welcome to the Fediverse!

This might be your new social media platform (or maybe @loops will be) but anyway, fill out your bio, add a photo, do an intro post, follow people, follow hashtags, and give it a try.

The Fediverse isn't controlled by a government, corporation or billionaire, it's just people.

If it sucks here let us know why.

(Also, the term "refugee" may have issues, but fuck it, let's look past that right now.)

Occasionally Spotlight stops working on my main Mac and I cannot search for any files, which is super annoying.

The fix seems to be a reboot, but you know, I try not to reboot very often because it involves a long, long, long process of getting back up and running and launch a dozen applications.

This is a 6 year old Mac and I feel like it's way too young to be having these issues.

There is one guy I know who is into ska but the only platform he contacts me on is Instagram so last week I sent him a link to some ska thing and now Instagram keeps showing me reels/stories or whatever the fuck they call them featuring ska stuff.

Goddamn, fuck that shit. (Not ska, the use of messaging to feed you content.)
