like originally it's supposed to last 5 days or so, but when I got it it was already down to *maybe* 2 days, now it starts complaining even though it charges every morning while I shower

Show thread

oh it did charge up actually, maybe it's just gotten even worse at retaining charge

backpack (over)preparation 

next to all the usual contents also have my full soldering kit, which now includes the logic analyzer as well, dslr (because it's gonna snow later today), tape and extra paper.

for a project workgroup you're probably able to do just fine without bringing any of that

i absolutely have to visit a show at Printworks London someday, preferably multiple times

the XM4 "hold hand over the ear to temporarily lower volume a lot + amplify outside sound" works really well for hearing announcements, except you have no way of knowing *when* to do it because normally the noise canceling is too good :")

That part in Max Payne where Max said "I'm in Payne" and Max'd all over the place.

To reiterate some of the issues with conferences:
- An entry fee keeps out poor people
- A scheduled conference time keeps out anyone who does not have much spare time (again, especially poor people) or who cannot just decide to do something at a specific time (eg. neurodiverse people)
- Video/audio calls exclude people with auditory processing issues or hearing impairments
- A physical conference excludes both disabled and poor people (for accessibility and travel cost reasons respectively)
- A conference on a proprietary platform excludes anyone who for whatever reason cannot use the proprietary client; this ranges from OS support issues to accessibility issues
- Not to mention all the safety concerns for marginalized people when being forced to interact with others in real-time

Centering your project decisionmaking around conferences means that the only people who can fully participate (and therefore be represented) will be able-bodied, well-off, sufficiently neurotypical, and otherwise privileged.
