So when Putin is killed are we supposed to show our respect? Give our condolences? Send our prayers? Call him a family man? Fuck outta here.

My GPT-based RSS summarizer completely nailed this headline. #ai #apple

I'm excited about this, I've used Argon's Pi cases for a long time and they're absolutely fantastic. Hope this happens :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/arg...

New features in my YoutTube downloader Telegram bot - queue management and monitoring - Python Poetry installation workflow - general refactoring and cleanup github.com/ubidefeo/YT2...

Been putting a few hours on my YT2mp3 bot for Telegram. Better error handling, YouTube playlists support, revised queue management, skip/stop/purge. Hope someone finds it as useful as I do :) github.com/ubidefeo/YT2...

Today I'm receiving my PicoCalc and can't wait to put MicroPython on it 🤩 www.clockworkpi.com/product-page...

I created this Telegram Bot to download and extract audio from YouTube videos. Very useful if you want to have offline "audio podcast" of your favourite content. Please, for the love of Internet, do not download (or listen to) tech, crypto, misogynistic bros stuff ❤️ github.com/ubidefeo/YT2...

@jay.bsky.team is hands down my biggest tech/engineering crush 🤩

I have updated my shell script to install development MicroPython packages and modules via command line. github.com/ubidefeo/mpy...

I don't use OpenAI products because they take money from Anduril (www.anduril.com/article/andu...) Palmer Luckey supports Nethanyahu's genocide (www.algemeiner.com/2025/02/18/t...). He's also a douche, but that only kills women's libido. Switch to something else if you really gotta use an AI <3

If you have to deal with 3mf projects on Mac, now there's a way to preview the projects before opening them in your slicer. ThumbHost3mf is a QuickLook plugin host for Mac OS. I got 99 problems but previewing 3mf projects in Finder ain't one. github.com/DavidPhillip...

If you use the #gridfinity system and need walls to organise larger objects which won't fall into the bottom grid, consider making a boolean subtraction and just leave the outside of the bottom to align properly in the grid. Have not found a better option 😅 #make #3dprinting #storage #declutter #diy

Well... Tons of MAGA fans so much against waste will be affected. It will upset them to know they are waste. Them folks got gunz. Them folks already stormed the capitol once. Them folks got pardoned.

The feud between @bambulabglobal.bsky.social and @prusa3d.com users is borderline ridiculous. Bambu users get a lot of hate, and it makes me think of Windows/Linux vs Mac users. In general what counts is if you get sh*t done, and so far I see both parties achieving that with little to no effort :)

Threads has become the place where the political discourse centering around opposing the current US administration is happening. Unfortunately while Zuck is now a "free speech" bro, he's also in on the administration. It is easy to get involved there and forego the topics elsewhere >>

Europe is letting Trump decide the faith of Ukraine, and we should all be outraged. I'd rather watch Europe get into war with Russia and annihilate them than watch us be Trump's bitch. For the record: I'm still 50 and I served, which means I could be called into service, so I'm not just yapping.

The world seems to be represented by a bunch of bad people who definitely don't represent the world.

How many Tesla Model 卐 have been sold so far?

Back off, biaaaatch!

Over the past few days a bunch of creative technologists' feeds have been very political (mine included). Bear with us. It is important to push such issues today, so we can hope to make our discourse creative tomorrow. We want to be able to chat about code, craft and poetry in a less shitty world 🫶🏼

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

- Are we there yet? - Yes, dear. We are. www.realtimefascism.com

France steps up where others failed, Ukraine will not be abandoned. Europe stands for democracy and justice.

Every time I turn on my #MeshTastic devices in Amsterdam I can't find any nodes. Are there users in the Netherlands or is everyone not caring or using The Things Network?

@theverge.com your RSS feeds have a problem in the form of a UNICODE right single quote.

It seems to me that every Italian professional in the tech sector defines whatever they work on as "innovation". If we had so many innovators in Italy, we'd be a world power. From the outside id just looks like a layer cake of buzz words that you sell to each other 😉

Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ - https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/24/24351317/elon-musk-x-twitter-bank-debt-stagnant-growth

@liss.bsky.social If you need Arduino help straight from the horse's mouth I'm happy to help 😉

Yesterday we released a new tool to install packages on MicroPython boards. It's very intuitive and works like a charm. If you're is interested, give it a shot and let us know what you think about it :) blog.arduino.cc/2025/01/21/m...

There is no reason to negotiate with Trump, the rest of the world needs to become self sufficient without the United States. It can be done and should be done.

This is Emilio Gatto, he's almost 16 years old 😻

If you often resort to `dd` to clone your SD cards or other media, you often guess what the best Block Size (bs) is in order to make the transfer fast. Over the past few months I've written more `bash` than I'd like to admit, so here's a tool to do exactly that :) gist.github.com/ubidefeo/ef8...

If you own a BambuLab printer, watch this. Rossman is certainly at times rough, but he knows what he's talking about when it comes to right to repair and owning your hardware youtu.be/aIyaDD8onIE?...

I have had the strength not to watch Silo's season 2 until today. With the finale out tomorrow I'm gonna enjoy the binge :D

I downloaded #RedNote just to make its numbers grow and PO Musk and Zuck

The only reason to be on Threads today is the almost uninterrupted stream of fake news about Zuck. I swear I couldn't stop laughing. Had to pop by here to find some seriousness 😂

We’ve all been there: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2021/12/01/1920

Playing with Python and the Plex API

I started considering going back to my purchased music collection, so I copied an old MP3 archive to my Plex.tv server and started using Plex Amp. I am amazed at how many CDs I have ripped over the years 🥲. Yeah... I have a ton of Björk's stuff including DVDs 🥰

Last night I was thinking "There's so much work we have done in Flash that will never be seen again". Then I thought "How come nobody has made a flash player in WASM?" Well... I searched for it. Spoiler: I added a script tag to an old demo from 2004 and it worked. github.com/ruffle-rs/ru...

couldn’t be me, nope 🙃

Pair programming with an AI can teach you things. Some assets were loading in dev mode but not in the build. @anthropic.com 's Claude gave me a solutions I didn't like, so I dug in and found that my assets' filename was capitalised differently. I asked why this happened and I learned something :)

I always thought that any "carbon offset" practice was pure stupidity. Why would you let the world's richest polluters sell you this snake oil? youtu.be/aU_S97Ae1eg?...

I wrote a bit about IDEs, and about how lots of creative coding languages/IDEs assume the user doesn't want to code (which is essential to get people into programming! But I ask what happens next?) and some silly experiments I have been doing! www.media.mit.edu/projects/exp...

In light of OpenAI's recent partnership with Anduril I have decided to stop using their products and am trying to download my data which is not working. In the meantime, I have given @anthropic.com 's Claude a shot and it's doing what I need so far. I got a subscription because it seems worth it :)

We recently shared Bluesky’s stance on user data and AI training, which has not changed. Bluesky will not train generative AI on user data. bsky.app/profile/bsky...

Let the war of the clones begin. I just got followed by Jennifer Aniston(ot). I really hope the reporting of fake profiles will work in here 😊

If you haven't listened to @reckless.bsky.social 's Decoder episode with @jay.bsky.team you're missing out: my favourite episode so far. Listening to Jay talk about the AT Protocol is fascinating and made me want to experiment with something new (yay!). www.theverge.com/2024/11/13/2...

#JobAlert! Come join me at Carnegie Mellon's School of Art— we're hiring an open-rank tenure-track professor in "Experimental Animation and Emerging Media Practices"! Deadline is Jan 5: art.cmu.edu/employment/#...

I remember joining Twitter in January 2007. @neb.me said something along the lines of "You should give Twitter a shot, it's interesting". We updated our status using SMS from dumb phones. You could still meet cool nerds. This feels a lot like it. Already racking up awesome folks ☺️
