@vivianrose ah I see, for the extra thin you'll want ws2812 or sk6812, aliexpress should have some but they're a lot harder to find than the thicker width ones

crossed off my most stressful/urgent TODO item :D time for more games

@vivianrose @syntacticsugarglider from experience the various aliexpress strips are okay quality.

However, SK9822 / APA102 are similar strips but with a few important improvements; they have a separate clock line so they run better over longer distances, and their PWM is faster, so they appear to flicker less (especially when you move your head while looking at them), which to sensitive people can be quite distracting
those are a bit more expensive than ws2812 however, but imo worth it

"I don't know who needs to hear this" I say, panicking as I mess up my first day on the job as a singing telegram

every time I open my todo-list im like 'oh yeah, fuck'

actually realised I don't want it as an overlay, because I was going to build my own stream page web thing with nginx-rtmp, which will have the chat on the side

hmm maybe I'll try streaming how I'm building a bot that turns a room into an OBS chat overlay

@floi i've tried both in the past, and I run write.pixie.town which is writefreely.
but personally I do just run my own static site gen, and don't even blog as much as I want

also need to figure out a better way to frame/scale things, just a 1080p vscode window isn't too readable

daamn my autoplay is sure on a roll today though, this is goooood

maybe I'll just do it anyways if my mood improves but just not share it with that specific group, heh

ugh I hate how what happened previously made me not want to stream anymore

even though I do want to stream

and also brain bad so probably won't get much programming done anyways, so streaming my non-progress wouldn't make sense anyways

autism as a trend/fad 

Seeing some neurotypicals talking like autistic people have recruited people who weren't autistic into some autism trend or fad, or even brainwashed them into a cult.
It's hogwash, obviously. Like it's some kind of 'Rapid Onset Autism' or something.
Trans people know this denial device well.
So do gay people.
It only looks sudden to someone who you were hiding it from, who doesn't know you've been struggling and grappling with shame about it for years, or even your whole life, without letting people know.
For trans and other LGBTQ+ people it's a closet, for autistic people it's masking.

parents, covid 

fuck if only my parents would stop nagging me to go out to dinner...
I don't fucking want to it only gives me stress, no enjoyment at all
