I upgraded my Debian unstable OS and OBS stopped working. I just finished compiling OBS from source and it works again. Yay compiling from source! #foss #debian #sid #obs #linux

While working on CNC routing of soft foam for @bce 's Retina Mapper headset, we've implemented a tool for converting an STL file to G-Code for controlling a 3-axis CNC machine. codeberg.org/bcecoop/bcecam #foss #fosh #blv blind #lowvision #a11y #accessibility #bce #bcecoop #cnc #cam […]

Touching the oscilloscope probe to our latest @bce Retina Mapper prototype causes both headset displays to work. Up until this point, only one display has booted up, so this is the last major hurdle to completing our first functional Retina Mapper prototype. It looks like just adding a tiny bit […]

One thing that I've learned from @bce 's Retina Mapper headset prototype is that we will need methods to easily and automatically prototype exact shapes of foam padding for where the headset touches the user's face and head. I've looked into options, and I'm going to start experimenting with […]

Oh wow. I just found a button on the side of my mouse that makes it go super slow. I've had this mouse for years, and I love it so I bought two of them, one for my other computer. Now I love it even more. This is great.

I think working with an analogy of AI software generators as analogous to compilers, which convert a "high-level" language to a "low-level" language is useful in the context of software understandability. In this case, the "source code" for AI-based software generators is natural language. The […]

Three of the four freedoms of "free software" as described by the FSF are compatible with AI-generated software. However, "Freedom 1" is in conflict with AI-generated software. Freedom 1 is quoted from Wikipedia here: Freedom 1: "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make […]

I am drawing quite a bit of power for each display, so your idea that it could be browning out is a serious concern... Thanks for pointing that out... Not sure how I'd test for that, but maybe I could look into adding or rearranging power supplies...

I'm getting 3.2kHz data samples out of the ADXL343BCCZ-RL7 accelerometer, and after writing some filters and integrating this data to velocity and position, and some more filtering, I'm realizing that a gyroscope may help a lot in more clearly identifying and subtracting out the gravity vector […]

@dirtycommo This is very cool. I have been thinking about building a computer from basic supplies recently. It leads me to the idea of using wire to make my own relays, which could be a replacement for transistor switches. It does require wire and a power supply and a display element... maybe a […]

@gedankenstuecke Yeah, I have a worker-owned coop, and I've written up a set of management bylaws that specify how the company can be democratically run, once it gets larger. It doesn't include a community representative currently, but I'm not sure exactly how to add that.
