Can Bluesky say every word in the dictionary?
I dunno but I plan to find out!

I made a website that tracks every single word said on bluesky (as of yesterday).

Nice! Just tried it on your firmware directory and it wasn't super fast but it worked!

I would say the "proper" way to do it is to create a repo for each, and then a central repo that pulls in each as a git submodule. That way someone could opt to pull the whole thing or individual pieces from the central repo. Downside there is that submodules are a little annoying to work with

Download GitHub directory

This is a good Q
I found this, which you can use to drop in a link to a specific directory in your repo. It will zip everything in there and download it. Downside is you loose all the git info.

download-directory.github.io

Shooting my first long-form YouTube video in almost a year at some point this week. I've really missed the process. This project took a long time to get right.

Gmail Gmail is email that’s intuitive, efficient, and useful. 15 GB of storage, less spam, and mobile access.

DID YOU KNOW
google has their own version of "mailto" links, so you can compress a message into a link and it will open up as a draft for anyone who's logged into gmail? Every time the Mail app opens on macOS I lose a year off my life.

Amazon tried adding cashier-less tech to their physical stores and they are failing big time!

Customers obviously want the opposite - they want CASHIER technology for Amazon's virtual store. Here's my prototype that only lets you add an item to your cart if you hit it with a real barcode scanner.

Yes I do not turn it off. It draws so little power while sleeping, I just don't see the point!

Thank you! Yeah it's totally faked, I spun my own and just stole the assets.

I don't think it's possible? I imagine captchas need a "real" browser/JS environment which I don't think you're gonna get up and running on an ESP32. Just guessing tho

they are! I had trouble getting the two pieces lined up so they would latch without the lid being propped up.

Laser cut a hole through this shitty little box to fit the display and started a fire in the process! Fortunately nothing damaged, I was smart enough to fill the box with stuff before cutting
