I've opened up the repo for my #mico controller - a tiny and cheap 14 bit midi controller based on the #raspberrypi #pico. It includes the hardware design, the firmware, a 3d-printable enclosure and a SuperCollider package for an easy to use interface.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C. Clarke
"Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
Barry Gehm
"Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don’t understand it."
Florence Ambrose (Freefall, Stanley)
"It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done."
Terry Pratchett
What is futurism? Futurism is the present as it exists today, projected, one hundred years from now. That’s what futurism is. If you have a population of X billions of people, how are you going to have food, how are you going to do this… nothing has changed. All they do is they make everything either bigger, or they change the size—you’ll live in thirty story buildings, you’ll live in sixty-story buildings. Frank Lloyd Wright was going to build an office building that was one mile high. That was futurism.

Really enjoying writing my first ever presentation in latex/beamer. Using this guide https://latex-beamer.com/quick-start/ and the vimtex neovim plugin (https://github.com/lervag/vimtex) makes it a breeze.
My one comfort is that this is made so much easier by virtue of excellent tools: #swaywm, #xournalpp and #zathura. With these I can still derive some nerdy pleasure from the process.
OK. Just a friendly and timely reminder: health care is not a product. People in need of health care are not customers. I know this is very difficult for the more market-oriented politicians, so let me repeat: health care is not a product. Patients are not customers. There you go. Not so difficult to wrap your head around, is it?

About #TechBros and other forms of #technocentrism, especially #TechnoSolutionism.
Something I have a hard time understanding is why they’re so obsessed with the outmoded tech of #currency (including that of the #crypto persuasion) when they’ve been influenced by #SciFi in which #SocialSystems often went #BeyondMoney.
Different biases from mine.
