picked up a used iPod Mini (2G) and put #rockbox on it in a quest for the simples audiobook mediaplayer for my grandma. I've already disabled all menu items except the tracklist, but I'll have to do a little (two-line) patch to remove the settings menu also. I'd like to also put a much larger font on it, but I'm not sure yet whether that's easy or possible

yay! took this post as an occasion to finally make some copies of netpolitics zines to leave around the city as well :)
uff, it seems BRT lost another package I sent. 😒
That's two lost out of the six I've sent with them so far, wtf?
I guess my packages being very small and light might be a factor, but this is just insanely poor stats. I guess at this point I'll just have to stop using their service altogether.

uughh...
surely at least one person on the team implementing this has found themselves evaluating some variation of localStorage.api_key = "SECRET_VALUE_THAT_SHOULDNT_BE_GOING_ANYWHERE"; 🤦

@oleksiy@sonomu.club (that's all assuming you go with a "traditional" dj deck look and feel, given that the aurora mixer doesn't have those i guess they just use a much smaller regular knob for jogging tracks and i guess that can also work fine)

@oleksiy@sonomu.club oh i didn't mean hi-res in that sense, I just meant that ICs like this MT6701 used in the "smartknob" have the resolution you'd need to get decent angular resolution from a deck sized encoder, where the usual 30/48/...-step rotary encoders would not be sufficient and where generally any shaft-based encoder would probably struggle mechanically with given how much lever even a small DJ controller deck would put on it

huh, this on the backdrop of the FoC podcast episode "Rule(s) of Code" I just listened prompted (🙄) me to realize
a) in the context of that paper, one could argue AI is actually more suitable to execute law/social norms/... than our usual discrete code [obviously, I want to live in a world where we agree either is a terrible idea]
b) now I'm imagining a slopjudge going "Sorry. You're right, I should not have sentenced your client to the death penalty. Let me go back...", stuck in a ping-pong loop between two prompt-engineer-attorneys

oh, i missed this in january! Great work on the writeup, at least for me it hit the perfect level of detail and examples/diagrams and made for a very nice read :)

this opendeck? https://github.com/nekename/OpenDeck
was not aware that this is useful for anything beyond the proprietary hardware, huh
@oleksiy@sonomu.club the OSHW deck space is curiously empty indeed... i guess having decent mechanical design for the actual decks is a bit trickier than general MIDI controllers but we have those hi-res magnetic encoder ICs that mean mechanical feel and sensing are pretty decoupled
