@SuzanEraslan comparing your experience (and those of others) with the palpable blind terror in cops’ faces as thousands of people descended on Chicago’s airport (which is NOT a convenient trip for anyone) in a spontaneous travel ban protest and literally shut down the terminal is illuminating

the power of a protest is how quickly it can turn into a riot, and they drained it of power before the event started

@catoutofbed it’s a half duplex transceiver, though, so you have one channel of bits going in or out. that puts effective limits on switching times that make certain things not work well (example: GSM cellular)

but as a bonus you don’t have to work out how to isolate any cross talk between the transmitter and received signal!

@diodelass speaking of the bureaucracy of your school: are y’all still required to get ipads or did that finally get revealed for the poor decision it was?

me, severely jetlagged: finally, some sleep
my brain: sounds like it’s time for STRESS DREAMS ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD HOME

hey you

yes you

you are loved and valued by others out there even if you don’t feel like you are

@maenad caveats with the aukey board:
* has knockoff Blues and they are hilariously loud, so you'll be That Person on raids
* has no backlight
pros:
* it was the simplest/cheapest/fastest thing i could find to replace a board that had like 4 keys stop working after a lightning storm

the max is very nice and i appreciate the ability to use it as a media playback controller (like it is now, hence the color pattern) or macropad on another layer if i don't need 10key

@maenad counterproposal:

@maenad oh boy do i
