@badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy@daniel @linuxdays ooh that's even better!
Did you have to do anything special to the acrylic (eg. in terms of shape/design) to make the light through shine through well or does any transparent shape work?
@badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy@daniel @linuxdays looks very cool! What's the Conversations lit-up thing made of btw?
At IndiaFOSS, I had hacked together an XMPP bot that changes the colour of an RGB LED according to whatever colour (HTML name or hex code) you text at it. I wonder if something similar would work here (for […]

@badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyIndiaFOSS attendees, do you have any JioPhones or other KaiOS feature phones lying around unused? Bring them to the XMPP stall and let's see if we can make them fun again 😄

@lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gyReposted by @badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyI loath every article, blog, or post, that frames what happened with #AutisticiInventati as 'they folded, they gave up, they were destroyed in a couple of days.'
No matter how well-meaning, this framing strips A/I of their agency and completely ignores the enormous amount of labour and care […]
@lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gyReposted by @badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyAnd don't get me started with those that try to move the conversation to so called 'digital sovereignty' and 'rely on European companies, structures, whatever.'
That's only moving who can flip the kill-switch; it's not removing the kill-switch itself.
I encourage you to read what @cavallette […]

@hex.kolektiva.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @badrihippo.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyThe "Terminator" scenario is just the military industrial complex trying to maximize their profits. The "AI apocalypse" is just capitalism with extra steps. Capitalism is already doing it. Capitalism is already the AI apocalypse, and it isn't theoretical. It's been documented for 200 years.
