✨ Hello Fediverse!
If you haven't heard of Pixelfed before, it is the fediverse equivalent to Instagram.
Imagine being able to follow your friends on Twitter from your IG account, on the fediverse you can!

I want to echo what other Mastodon admins are saying: please report any harassment or violative messages you're seeing. Unlike the birdsite, your local admin will likely react quickly -- and you'll make the instance better for everyone, not just yourself.
So... please don't just ignore! Let us know if there's a problem.

@arturo182 FWIW, I didn't read this as a shitpost. Perhaps it's a 'feature', perhaps it's a 'bug', but it's definitely a point of friction and confusion for new users.
I was left unsupervised with a pile of LEDs. Although this doesn't show it very well, they're sound reactive.
@trinsec It's actually the same code I ran on my christmas tree last year, just tweaked to be more red
I've upgraded my cycling rucksack with a Pico and a whole bunch of LEDs.

Okay let's make a first little Introduction:
Hi, I am Alex, you might already saw me on Twitter, hackaday.io or in real life. Currently living in Munich. Will post mostly about my electronics Projects (PCBs, LEDs...) and occasional Travelling. Here are some nice picture of old projects, expect more and new soon.

The arrival of #macOS #Ventura, and a change in the way the Finder works, has caused a problem for embedded developers. If you're working with #RaspberryPiPico on a #Mac 💻 we recommend that you don't upgrade to Ventura quite yet. #VenturaProblem https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/the-ventura-problem/
@derickflorian I'm calling it spaghetti slicing
You have to lie to a slicer quite a lot to get it to create GCode that does this
@LucyHattersley How is this not the default? It's so much easier and more controllable. Also, makes me feel like I'm giving myself a coffee injection.
@aallan They've arrived today and you're not making creepy eyes?
Just finishing off a review of the Anycubic Kobra Neo. I'm a big fan of this user interface. Colour screen, clear icons, but none of that touchscreen nonsense -- it's got a proper twiddly knob.
I'm on there!

@timonsku The high share price could be due to the fact that in some areas there are a lot of teslas, and in those same areas people are much more likely to own a significant amount of shares in companies. i.e. people in tech hubs both tend to see a lot of teslas and have money to invest so they're likely to think it's a good investment?
Testing out some 'Magic PLA' 3D printer filament today and it's blowing my tiny mind.
