Hey #DuckDuckFedi, I've got a weird search. I want to PCB mount XLR-M *plugs*. i.e., have 4 XLR plugs carefully aligned on a PCB that can be plugged in at once into the back of a specific mixer.

Before I go ahead and gut a bunch of expensive connectors I was thinking that I could just directly buy individual 2.65mm pins (this seems to be the size of XLR pins) and arrange them on the PCB. But so far I've only found 1mm pins for e.g. Hartings.

What's the best search term? Do you know a source?

"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc.

So it's very fitting that a company named Apple continuously makes apps.

oh, Telegram supports motion photos now (live photos for Apple users)… but you need to turn it off every time you send something and if you send one it seems to only send the video? this is half-baked bullshit

a simplified controller that lets kids play games without having to manage 12 different buttons is a great idea, and the game he's playing seems really cool too, really putting all the space on that CD to good use with voice acting and animations

this excellent video has brought my attention to Playstation controllers specifically for kids' games (there's a variant of the dog controller that's Hello-Kitty-themed too!) so I'm checking Japanese auction sites for other interesting things youtu.be/BOGbDgO3Pfo

it also means that the moon isn't just a bright disc in the night sky, it's got detail that is instantly recognizable. And the back has way more craters bc it catches all kinds of space rocks before they reach us

it's kind of fucked up that (most) humans only ever get to see one side of the moon. like the universe game developer decided that it's far enough away, we can get away with billboarding

Hey, I'm in the process of leaving an abusive household situation.

I'm talking to the right people and I've applied for government assistance. I'm set to start getting benefits at the end of the month, but my bank balance is dangerously low and I don't have what I need to make it until then.

I need around £400 to bridge the gap. Any help is greatly appreciated:

Scientific space exploration is good actually, regardless of the potential practical technology benefits down the line.

Because it's extremely effective at showing people that we, as in humans, can do cool shit, if we choose to.

And I think that's worth it.

Some love to go "But we should fix the problem here on earth first!".

You know what helps with tackling the gigantic challenges we face here on Earth? Believing that we can to very hard shit, if we really want to.
