@kensanata I think (hope?) that the worst days are behind us when it comes to kids not having a good path from play to programing. We went through a period where everything was locked down, windows or console gaming, no real customization in sight. But now, with easy robotics, Raspberry Pis, and competitive programing, it really feels like things have turned a corner. Even MineCraft feels like a step in the right direction, though not as far as a Pi robot
Anybody have good documentation on ADFS token timeouts?
Please boost.
Come on Raspberry Pi people release the PoE hat already.
I don't really need it - I just really like PoE...
I really like the way ssh is off by default in Raspbian. Yet easy to turn on but adding an empty file "ssh" to the boot image.
Just got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ in the mail.
Put a fresh Raspbian on the also new SD card. Only to discover that I couldn't find a spare power supply. So I cannot set it up tonight...
I bought something online last week. The shop has no package tracking. I feels so odd.
Also seeing how it's a gift I'm kinda worried it won't arrive on time.
polyfill.io really is quite useful!
Lots of annoying JavaScript incompatibilities can just be ignored.
Nice tip from the Vanilla JS podcast.

When stacking a @adafruit NeoPixel FeatherWing on top of a Adafruit HUZZAH32 - ESP32 Feather the default control pin is 32.
I took more tries that I care to admit to figure this out.
However, I'm pleasantly surprised that I managed to solder the pins to the FeatherWing, apparently, without breaking anything.
American Gods is the first TV series I've ever seen that use exactly the same cliff hanger in two consecutive episodes. #tv #AmericanGods
Surely by now there would be closed forks, and if the forker could generate enough hype and had enough cash then they could probably hire more developers to work on the fork and make it where most of the development occurs.

"She held out her hands, palms up, the white fingers slightly spread, and with a barely audible click, ten double-edged, four centimeter scalpel blades slid from their housings beneath the burgundy nails."

like holy shit, goals???
This is the best explanation I’ve seen of the Meltdown and Spectra exploits (via PHK) https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/why-raspberry-pi-isnt-vulnerable-to-spectre-or-meltdown/
Charlie Stross gave a very interesting keynote at #34c3

I love books.
This is the only Christmas I can remember where I didn't get any books.
I guess my family thinks it is a boring gift, because they take very little effort to buy.
Silently boosting...
Sometimes I just want a message to exist on different instances, I don't want to boost it up again, and/or push it into my timeline.
There's a trick for that. If you copy paste the direct link to a post into your search-box, that instance imports it and it exists there on the federated timeline and will appear in searches.
You can find the direct link by right-clicking the post-date of a post and selecting 'copy link location'.
Can we make this (or another post)
get +500 boosts, proofing that the argument to stay away from the #fediverse because one can here only reach out to a few is completly wrong?
Wondering how high the reach of this post is?
Well, we don't know. We don't track the users.
You only can see the boosts/fav/reply.
If that's a lot, it reached a lot.
If that made one rethink their opinion here you go:

Remember folks, if you abandon Twitter, Facebook or Google, it's not a boycott, it's a STRIKE.
Because you're the [unpaid] workers that earn them billions of dollars in capital.
When you don't post, they don't get the benefit of your labour. And when you don't use, they lose money.
Social Media STRIKE days should be a thing.
Discussions (using the term loosely) about software licensing are always full of developers bitter about the GPL because they feel entitled to using other people's code in their proprietary product and get mad when they can't. I have a feeling that if I wanted to use their proprietary code in my free project the reaction would be different.
