  • It is a common effect of being more aware giving us the feeling that the situation has become worse. Medieval times aren’t all that romantic and mysterious as one could think. Information was scarce, societies were more disconnected and it was much easier for sadistic psychopaths to act on their impulse without facing immediate justice.

    We are not up against technological achievements of very talented and intelligent people. AI is a powerful tool, and can very well be used to perpetuate discrimination, division and conflict. However you wouldn’t blame the knife for the murder. The solution is not the destruction of technology. The path of salvation lies in the spiritual and mental growth beyond the prison that is constantly being built around us, whether we have technology or not.

    You could say that is cruel that we are forced to move towards enlightenment in order to not end in absolute misery of this unforgiving world. Luckily there are as many ways to reach it as there are colors. Green is a nice color. Don’t be afraid to grow, but always remember your heart.









  • AVR is good. Though, I have the XGecu and Microchip IDE (The windows 98 looking one). It does a good job with PIC MCs. Surprised there isn’t a command compiler for Microchip ASM like CC. Someone would surely have made a linter and autocomplete for NVim as well. Anyway…

    Older chips are made obsolete because of higher power consumption paired with worse performance. I am surprised it is viable to make them at all, let alone at 1,5 cents per. Obviously a lot of manufacturers clinging to old familiar roads.

    Not long ago having own PCB design meant bank breaking, organ selling investment.

    I really appreciate that I have proof that I am not able to make anything useful to humanity, and money is not the cause. To mineself I can be true now… 😞





  • Sure. What’s another landfill on the internet.

    Step 1: Make your own “social” website.

    Step 2: Prevent bots from signing in. (You really don’t want to miss this step, otherwise you’re free real estate.)

    Step 3: Write your own bots that will scrape other “social” websites for content. This is to attract people before original content begins to form.

    Step 4: Sell post priority and upvotes. And there you have it. Your own money generating cesspool of gradual deterioration.

    That’s it. And yes… Easier said than done. Step 2 is really the hardest one. Perhaps make it obligatory to sign in with a phone number or something, cause capchas are a whole battlefield in itself. I don’t really know how hard / easy it is to get a bunch of phone numbers to use for this purpose…
