Hi everyone!
We are glad you are excited for the quote posts! They will come eventually but right now we (and I mean mostly Conny) are in the process of rewriting the timeline to be able to accommodate for quotes, it might take some time. We are only a few people who do this in our free time. We can't give you a time estimate but of course we also want it out as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Die Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes macht eine Umfrage zu Erfahrungen mit Diskriminierung.
diskriminierung-umfrage.de

Ich habe sie ausgefüllt, und die angegebenen 30 Minuten sind realistisch, wenn man (mind.) eine Erfahrung genauer schildern will. Wenn man keine hat oder keine Details angeben möchte, ist die Teilnahme bestimmt auch wichtig.

Gerne Boost.

Ich habe IT-Sicherheit nie als großen Sprung erlebt, sondern als viele kleine Entscheidungen – ausgelöst durch alte Fehler, verlorene Daten und langsam wachsende Einsicht. Mein Weg raus aus Bequemlichkeit, Datensilos und Sicherheitsillusionen zeigt: Kontrolle gewinnt man Schritt für Schritt zurück. Vielleicht hilft meine Geschichte euch beim eigenen Anfang. 👇

Made some progress on prototyping a #RP2040 based #USB Audio interface. I got a PIO program to output a good looking TDM signal for 4 channels of 32-bit samples.

Now I can start prototyping the receiving end of the transaction, DMAing samples into RAM and packing them into isochronous USB packets.

Thanks Google Fonts for financially supporting my work.

We've all heard the tale of how to own a Nazi bar, i'm fairly sure.

I was drumming up interest in a local board game group i really enjoy, on my local queer Discord server. I got some interest.

Someone on the board games group's server asked "why did you make a point about us being queer friendly?" Not rudely, just curious.

"Because a lot of community groups are invisibly closed to us. We daren't reveal ourselves because of antipathy to queer folk. This place doesn't do that, at all. So i tell people it's safe, and they feel more comfy coming along."

Someone said, "Oh, so it's like the Nazi bar story, only good." I thought for a moment, and they're right. Sort of. Because unlike Nazis, queer folk aren't an invasive species. We don't push people out. Assholes just self-select choosing not to be associated with a bar that's queer-friendly.

Which is fine, system working as designed.

So...how do we tell the tale of the Queer-friendly bar, and the positive feedback loop that can occur when a business is explicitly friendly to queer folk?

Cause I think that could be a simple, true, and effective point about the great difference between choosing to be nice to Nazis instead of queer folk. Or vice versa, being nice to queers and bum-rushing the Nazis.

The Nazi Bar story is one we all know. Anyone got a proposal for how to do a good tale of how the bar got so lively? "Oh, I bought a drink for this gay fella once, and soon there were loads. But they're great guys, and if ya tell them no, they stop bugging ya, which is giving me weird feelings about how I treat women. And we get a lot fewer assholes, too."

Someone? Got a seed for the good story lurking here? I wanna make us some rippin' good properganda.

The year is 2050. The collapsed ruins of civilization lie around you. The STM announces that they've finished their implementation of using your phone as a payment system only 1 decade after every other city went to free transit, which was already 10 years too late for humanity.

from a random community chat: "#Telegram secret chats exist so you can share your #deltachat QR/link to get off Telegram 😇"

In related news, Arte published a well-done documentary film about "Telegram, the dark empire of Pawel Durov" up (german audio only) arte.tv/de/videos/122721-000-A… -- it's a dive into various TG happenings during the last decades, biographical origins of telegram development, the durov brothers etc..

Any #Atari experts out there know where I can find out the max current draw from the 5V (pin 7) of a 2600 joystick port?

From the schematics it looks like it comes directly off a 7805 and the field service manual BOM lists a 78M05 which I think has a max 500mA with suitable heatsink. But that is powering the whole console...

But so far my searching is failing me with a definitive answer! :)
