@faehnrich as someone who only got into pcb design very recently, it's not *that* hard. Kicad can be a bit rough but is good free software, with a bunch of video tutorials around to show you around.

Then for the artsy stuff it's importing designs made in inkscape, and assigning them to the right layers to get the desired effect. due to a pcb's layered design you have some combinations of colour and height

finally took the time to properly go through the entrance requirements for the thing I want to study next year.
I'm getting pretty fuckin hyped lets hope I am one of the 350 students that make the procedure

@faehnrich me and friends sorta went further on this, making things with the pcb as the art medium, instead of just hidden internals.
tilde.industries/watch-dial/ for example doesn't even have electronics :P
for social.pixie.town/@f0x/1034024 I made routing way harder by keeping basically the whole front empty to put art in the copper layer

@chr oooh
now I have to choose for the water bottle pcb, as it will indeed be hidden

considering this from the longer "What is a drop of rain compared to the storm? What is a thought compared to the mind? Our unity is full of wonders, which your tiny individualism cannot even conceive." - The Many (System Shock)

so now that I'm getting more into pcb design, I *really* need similar quotes on mine.
suggestions and boosts highly welcome!!

This is the time for us to be totally on our bullshit, to disregard the sensible and conformist, and embrace our own personal flavor of bizarre. Cheers!

@pupy yeah makes sense, guess I never actively used twitter myself so

@pupy why not? if you post everything except the first post unlisted you wouldn't bother anyone, and I myself quite like reading such from time to time (oh and make sure to add image descriptions)

@uint8_t@chaos.social this mix is great, I hope the tracklisting will come online soon

MDX is quite a cool format, mixing markdown with react components.
sucks it's only really ment to be used with a set of meh site generators.
If you want your own implementation there's a snippet that they use in their integration tests, that's it

have an alright year
have a year
be another decade
continue living on

@unascribed yeahh.. You can change it with a resource pack tho I think?

@alsternerd @DC7IA@chaos.social @c3WOC@chaos.social well also the toilets had good drinking water, so don't see much of a need for them?
