I liked the way they'd introduce non-dinosaurs (and sneakily, the main pterosaur family are not technically dinosaurs either) from the fossil record, like the giant snake. There were definitely WAY worse things that I sat through, but PBS kids of that era had a ton of good shows (and now too? I dunno because it doesn't have Hatsune Miku and friends so therefore my daughter doesn't care). She actually still has an "Odd Squad" lore book in her backpack.

I'm not sure if it's close enough to work without mucking about, but I understand the Keychron Launcher is just a fork of VIA, which has an Electron app that basically containerizes the web app and makes it easier to have the right permissions.

I'd also suggest that if you're not looking for any new features or having any issues or just an incorrigible tinkerer (guilty of this one myself), just leave the firmware be. As mentioned elsewhere though, if it's QMK, the Linux QMK environment should have all the commands you need to flash the board.

This. The QMK environment flashing tools are generic and bundled for convenience, so they will work fine even with firmware files that aren't QMK at all, so long as they're for your keyboard or chipset. I use them to flash Soarer's style firmwares on Tuxedo OS.

Matt Groening is his former brother-in-law. Dinosaur Train was in the rotation when mine was little. It's not a top-tier "parents will notice the layers" one, but it's very tolerable and a good show for the littles.

I'm not generally into watching other people play video games and TTRPGs (though as sportsball fan I can't judge), so I waited a while and then came in cold on Vox Machina, but after letting the tone of it wrap around me, I decided I really like it. They really take a very generic setup and let it breathe enough to make them interesting.

I also realized that their dungeonmaster/CEO/"assorted voices" guy is one of the creatives behind a guilty pleasure of mine from several years back, the microbudget "Mythica" series that is, no surprise, pretty much just a D&D campaign, with just enough money thrown at Kevin Sorbo to get him to do a day of filming so he can be on the cast for the streamers.

I received a metric fuckton of texts that were like, "ZOMG YOU GUYS WE ARE SO REPUBLICAN AND CROCKETT HATES ICE CAN YOU BELIEVE IT-ZORZ?!?!?!?" They seem to trace back to a shady republican group. Apart from a couple of milquetoast Cornyn ones, everything else I got was for various Dem candidates despite my living in a very red zip code.

The campaigns have excellent lists, and somebody on the right wanted blue voters to know how very "terrified" they were of her. The only reasonable alternative is that she ran them herself as a low-grade false-flag, and in either case it made me go ahead and decide on Talarico, though I'd have happily voted for either in the general. I think he's made such a brand of being a blue christian that he'd probably feel obligated to make separation of church and state an important part of his brand, and he's speaking very explicitly to the wealth divide in a way she hasn't.

I do tend to think the dust-up over the Talarico's Allred comment has at least some truth to it, but while I assume he's much more calculating than his public persona, even in the worst case the story hit my (admittedly white) ears like someone who assumed that his allyship exempted him from micro-aggressions, rather than his being some cackling hypocrite. He's got his work cut out for him, but if he can energize the base, recover Trump 2024 Hispanics, and get a couple of percentage points' worth of red voters to flip or even just say, "meh" and stay home, he's got a chance.

Realistically, I think the most likely scenario is that we're looking at a pre-guns Beto campaign that comes close but can't get over the hump versus an unpopular Republican, but I think he's the best chance we've had since then to flip a seat. All of which is incumbent on elections happening semi-normally.

Imagine if that one fire were the series finale. All-time great show if you end it there.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Even in the heyday of Rotten Tomatoes, this only means that everyone agrees it's not bad. Is it good, though? Seems like the answer is "yes, quite, but the bar has been lowered."

Always grimly funny when you can basically suss out the lazy-ass prompt: "Now do the same message, but Spanish."

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Rubio's gonna get fired anyway. He made a speech that that didn't terrify people in Munich as badly as MAGA speeches usually do, so he got a standing ovation, and Trump HAAAAATES that.

 
 

DIY 3D printed case for the Yushakobo Primer61 PCB I got in Japan over the holidays. I didn't buy one of their BLE Pro Micro boards, but had a Nice!Nano clone, so I learned just enough ZMK to port it over and use it wirelessly. More HERE. Not my cleanest print, but I'm happy, and pretty stoked I didn't set it on fire trying to use an unsupported MCU with a wireless firmware.

 

I've printed up 7 of these, plus I have a lid and one less-satisfying prototype from my diode laser. They fit in the footprint of a sheet of US Letter paper, hold a little over a TKL's worth of keycaps, and use about 1/6 of a 1kg roll of filament, so maybe USD $3 per try with the cheap PLA I always buy.

 

Made this a few years ago myself. Mostly with my Shopsmith, since we were about to move and I’d sold most of the other tools. Floating tenon (DIY domino, basically) on the joint.

 
 
 
 

Fun to see/hear something from before the hobby blew up, but after Model M's were "retro."

 

Can't be a terrible person if you don't also make the playoff.

AAANNNDD… he got arrested. Holy poop.
