birthday stress lol, bad advice?
@f0x funny you should mention that.... 😅
I was just talking with the circus home gym folks about doing exactly that using a little raspi hat the other night.

The cheap US listing is sold out, but I'm pretty sure you want a pair of Barbie Glamtastic Texters for your birthday. We're not sure if they mesh or not, yet, but there's a handful of folks who're gonna find out. 😂
They're a children's texting toy that works over IR, we think. Low range.
Anyways, happy birthday, f0x. You've had a great impact on me, and on Cyberia, and I hope you have a really good day. 💙
Any pixel artists on the Matrix chat network? If so there's a space for you!

@mdhughes this is intentional. YouTube works in the background only in the paid app, so it behooves them to make the site dysfunctional.
Try newpipe as a client instead?
Cw covid, crash space request in London
@c0debabe omg this is very very good. Post pictures!!
Tales of the Barbie Glamtastic Texter mesh net have been slowly circulating locally, as well.
Any ideas how they sold out/who else bought some?
Cw transphobia, violence, but the queer anarchists win in the end

Boosts because I just heard about another "sighted people putting blindfolds on at their workplace" and I'm grumpy again. :)
Especially when I thought they already figured out point 2 here! I know about them /because/ they're consulting with a focus group of people with sight loss. They have the rich, complex information we've given them from our experiences! What is the blindfold going to add to that?
It'll center their abled experiences, which I guess to them is a feature and not a bug
In case you weren’t aware, here’s one of the many ways unregulated electronics bought online can be dangerous. A regulation Australian IEC cable must have 3x 0.75mm²+ double-insulated stranded copper conductors. This cable appears to meet that requirement at first glance — it’s marked that way on the outside, and cutting in, the PVC colours are wrong but otherwise appear okay.
But then, scrape some of the copper, and it suddenly turns silver. It’s CCA, or Copper-Clad Aluminium. A sneaky and cheap but worse conductor. The aluminium holds up much worse to corrosion and bending, and will crumble to powder inside the cables over time. Through this process it will increase its resistance, turning into a fire-starter. Very dangerous and invisible without destroying the cable to examine it. #safety #psa
Cyberia Computer Club has its first Matrix Space!
Matrix spaces aren't anything new, but Cyberia had been holding off on making one 'till they were out of beta.
By popular demand, though (and to make onboarding new folks easier), I'd like to let folks know that you can find our typical newbie-suggested channels in the #cyberia-starter-pack:cyberia.club space! https://matrix.to/#/#cyberia-starter-pack:cyberia.club
Here you have great hits like #vibes, #help-me-learn and #happenings, all under one roof! Plus, we just re-did our SSL, so uh, wanna help us test federation? 😅
@vortex_egg would you like advice?
