Yeah, pretty sure the founding fathers of America were gay AF.

I'm not an agent of the CCP but I'm pretty sure the combination of the three technologies below would bring the Silicon Valley startup economy to its knees and shift the locus of AI innovation eastward. The national security apparatus is the only rational explanation for why it doesn't exist yet.

Excuse me, did you just call me a vibe coder? I went to college for this stuff! I'm a professional slopware engineer.

Serious question, on Google Maps, when you click on the "Menus" tab of a restaurant why is it always 12 photos of the cocktail menu / wine list and like one out of date picture of the actual food menu? FFS we have OCR and AI. Are alcoholics the only ones reviewing restaurants?

Anyone know the camera module or CCD/CMOS sensor on Flock cameras? Lens and filter specs would also help. Working on a little project.

I just saw a robotics professor at a major EU university complaining in public about the mere existence of an LGBTQIA affinity group. These bigots continue to exist in society and pose obstacles to marginalized communities. Happy Pride month everyone. Please continue to be loud and proud.

The 2026 Open Healthware Conference is coming up FAST on July 9th and 10th in San Francisco! Check out some highlights from the schedule right here: oshwa.org/announcement...

If "taste is the new intelligence" why am I not seeing more of these mid century Erik Nitsche posters at hard tech startups in the Bay Area?

Not a bad day at Sunset Dunes Park.

I'm begging a young PhD in the social sciences to write about how we went from "makers" in the post 2007-2020 era to "builders" post Covid. The former was full of whimsy, curiosity, and frankness while the later is the pastiche of hacker culture in the service of capital.

On Responsible Security Disclosures and Free Speech Adafruit has worked with our longtime employment firm and team to make sure there is indemnification for all employees and contractors reporting responsible security disclosures at Adafruit.

OpenCV 5 is here, and it’s fucking amazing! Come by booth 515 in the CVPR Exhibition Hall to hear all about the new featured and get some exclusive stickers or a postcard! #OpenCV #CVPR

After a weekend of @oshwassociation.bsky.social events in Berlin.

New laptop sticker. Anyone want to deface signs in San Francisco?

Soooo much to explore soooo much to do!! #OHS2026 is truly a joy!

The @oshwassociation.bsky.social Open Hardware Summit is live from Berlin. www.youtube.com/live/naQz1KV...

If you are at @oshwassociation.bsky.social Open Hardware Summit (or are just in berlin), I have a *couple* extra mothboxes I could probably get to you AT COST! Hit me up! digital-naturalism-laboratories.github.io/Mothbox/ #ohs2026 #YearOfTheMoth #teammoth

We are truly VIBRATING with excitement! Just ONE DAY left until the Summit! But there’s really rad pre-Summit activities you could join today tour Open Source MRI, LAUDS Factories workshop PLUS Helen Leigh & Crowd Supply’s Hardware Happy Hour!! All the deets are on the site: 2026.oshwa.org/social/

Let's get these moths. Since I tore out out our grass and replaced it with native wild flowers the number of native bees in the yard has sky rocketed. I want to see if the flowers are attracting moths that only feed on specific species.

Between this and the UFC match at the White House I'm convinced Mike Judge is a tine traveler who predicted the future in Idiocracy.

I just paid my PG&E bill. I would really like to know how a 2 bed / 1 bath house generates a $200-$300 electric bill every month. We don't have an electric car. That's more than I paid in places that actually required heating and cooling.

I have had a hardware startup idea stuck in my head for awhile now. A consumer electronics / durable goods company (TVs, washers, etc) that builds high quality and low tech products with 30 year lifetimes and serviceable parts. Maybe it has legs. wheelfront.com/this-alberta...

This strategy—using fake AI profiles to boost political causes—was tested during the 2022 recalls in San Francisco. We called them the "Wencils" and they disappeared after being mapped and exposed. And now: Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/b...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Astonishing levels of hypocrisy from the "free speech" social network. Half of the content on X is more incendiary than this! Ironically, this will only bring more visibility to Gil's work.

It has been pretty obvious for awhile now that the AI/crypto bros have been manipulating Github stars and social media engagement and using it as a vanity metric. I don't know what's more pathetic the manipulators or the people who believe them. awesomeagents.ai/news/github-...

We're on our 3rd year of rewilding our back yard in SF. We've stopped mowing and replaced the grass with native wild flowers. We're leaving out water and brush piles and fertilizing with homemade worm castings. Our native insects, birds, and butterflies are returning.

I'm organizing a conference again this year! The OpenCV-SID Conference on Computer Vision & AI is this May 4th in Los Angeles. I have a slate of awesome speakers from Disney, Bonsai Robotics, Code19 Racing, Ultralytics, Procter & Gamble, and Looking Glass Factory! I'm very proud of our lineup.

We really live in some sort of David Foster Wallace meets Phillip K. Dick dystopian sci-fi future. If you told me that Congress renamed 2026, "The year of looksmaxing with Chinese peptides" I would believe you. This skeet sponsored by Kalshi.

This, one thousand times this. Unless you are physically disabled go buy your own groceries.

Looking for a future where technology serves the interest of mankind instead of the other way around? OSHWA is creating a future where safe, affordable, and plentiful open source medical hardware gets built for everyone.

More shots from the QuitChatGPT protest.

I'm stuck down in Mission Bay today and there's a @quitchatgpt protest going on. Honestly, AI should be democratic and open source. OpenAI was a ruse from the start and Sam Altman can't be trusted. I don't understand why people use ChatGPT when Claude and Gemini exist.

I'm always amazed at how fast rats learn new tasks. All three of mine picked up this new toy in an hour. Every other treat puzzle box I've tossed them they've learned in a night or two. Some of those have two or 3 steps to get a treat.

Join me at Open Hardware Summit in Berlin this May. Tickets are affordable and you'll come back a little more inspired that a better world is possible. We're also still looking for sponsors who want to get their products in front of the open source community!

Well, this is starting to take off on the other website.

The Bohemian Club is a secret society for the rich and powerful here in San Francisco. Yesterday @drboguslaw.bsky.social dropped a list of its members. Today we are releasing a searchable database of its members cross referenced with open source intelligence.🔎 thebohemiangrove.info

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Let’s recap just the past day at Ohio State University: 1) The head of their ObGyn department was found to be getting quarterly payments from international child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein 2) OSU’s top donor was confirmed to be a co-conspirator of Epstein’s 3) Now this. 👇

These Peter Thiel backed startups have gone too far. This one sells a "luxury security camera."

It is the kind if Monday where my coffee pot stops working, there are trolls in our forum, and American Democracy is in obvious decline.

This might be a better use for GPUs than generating slop. youtu.be/8jVogdTJESw?...

Pot roast is just shitty BBQ made by white people.
