The hand wiring is really easy. It just takes a long time.

Basically it’s just a grid, and a diode per switch. Then you wire each column and each row into a microcontroller.

You can do it!

I didn’t say there are never any issues I said it’s fine. The idea that “success stories” are only amd is silly. 90/100 times unless you’re using bleeding edge hardware or pathologically fussy you just hit play and stuff works. 9 out of the remaining 10 times you tweak a proton version or wine setting, the other time it’s a driver bug.

What? I have a 2060 and shit runs fine. Nvidia’s drivers have improved a lot since the 2010s.

My first job was extracting text from pdfs, in the end OCR was the most reasonable way. This was back in like 2010 when it was waaaaay harder.

Everyone who enjoys cosmic horror should read the PDF spec. https://pdfa.org/resource/pdf-specification-archive/

You can embed 3d models in PDF.

You shouldn’t but you can!

Very hinged lemmy comment.

My wife has done courses on warning signs for abusive relationships as part of some mental health first aid certification stuff.

2 biiiiiig red flags are insisting on surveillance and not letting people have separate finances. We have a combined account sure, and also pocket money accounts and whatever else. For all I know she’s set up a trust. I mean I don’t think she has because she’d probably tell me but she has the freedom to do so.

Obviously we have wills lmao

Yes we’re teenagers. We’ve been married 15 years, ceremony was when we were three.

Privacy is important, have you never kept a diary? Do you film therapy sessions lest your partner not know what you discussed? Shit with the door open? You don’t need justification for wanting privacy, you need privacy so when you have a good reason for it nothing looks different.

What if there’s an emergency?

What if there is? Get help, that’s an insane fear to live with. If I am unconscious there’s nothing to do anyway, the hospital or whatever will find her details in my purse and call. What the fuck am I going to do, sit there watching the dot on the map and calling 000 if it stops moving? You are a lunatic, we have society to take care of us while we’re out and about and emergency beacons if you’re like camping beyond the black stump or sailing the Pacific.

You are obviously not a woman.

Therapy would be better for you than a panopticon.

What if your partner wants to run away from you? Do you not trust that they would have a good reason?

Vile.

I trust my wife, and she trusts me. We trust each other not to ask for stupid brain-poisoning shit that humans weren’t meant to have access to that could one day blow up horribly.

I don’t have her passwords, she doesn’t have mine. Our phones are locked. I could technically see what she’s doing online I suppose via traffic snooping in the router logs but the day I feel the urge to do something like that is the day I kill myself for having abandoned basic moral principles.

We’re apes, we have brains built for avoiding snakes in tall grass and finding water and berries. You poison yourself with surveillance, you feed your worst and most destructive impulses. Practice keeping secrets, practice being okay with not knowing. Trust isn’t surveillance, trust is knowing that if something fucking mattered you’d be told.

edit: I want my wife to be able to break my heart because if she does she’ll have a good reason for doing so. That is what trust is.

If you need stuff printed I, or someone more local, would be more than happy to help. Otherwise all the knowledge and tools are available for free.

God you’re annoying. Everyone who disagrees with you must be an idiot huh?Fucking smug lib-arse shithead.

I’m not cheering Iran and if having nukes is justification for setting up hostile airbases inside territory and attacking civilians without declaring war again we’re back to bombing London and Florida.

Yeah, when a country persecutes queer people they lose the right to defend themselves from countries building weapons caches in their boarders. Then using those caches to blow up civilians.

That’s why I’m in favour of bombing London and Florida.

Do you see how fucking stupid you are?

Tried ball transfer units?

I’ve found Ruby balls ok sometimes but BTUs are where it’s at. Expensive though.

How is trackball? I wasn’t sure how easily layering would work giving up easy access to half the thumb cluster.

Tinkering with electronics alone indoors is like the opposite of punk.

I strongly recommend checking verticle clearance for the microcontroller if you angle it.

I also strongly recommend living somewhere where asking for enameled wire with an enamel that can be burned off with solder doesn’t get you blank stares.

If you can’t do the latter Livingston sells scapels which work well to remove insulation in the middle of wires.
