the main thing you need to know to understand why it’s not a good fit is that i consider this, our current cold boot time, to be fairly slow

that's like... 2-3 seconds from power on, to our firmware running (showing the splash screen is the first thing we do)

then a couple more seconds to have an actually usable device (we can improve that second gap i think; haven't looked much into it yet)

the number one issue with 'more powerful' SoCs people have yelled at me is that most of them are still fucking around in u-boot or whatever by this point.

our esp32 boots fast enough that, when you're not actively using your device, we can just turn the whole thing off. so long as we restore your playlist and such when we boot back up, it's fine. it's not too annoying.

if your boot time is... what, 10 seconds? 20? then at some point you cross the "this is really annoying" threshold, and you can't do that anymore.

anyway. my point is, tangara is supposed to play music conveniently. the esp32 is good enough to play music conveniently.

are there cheaper/better/faster/stronger SoCs? i guess. are they 'better' in ways that make them more convenient for playing music? not necessarily!

people kept asking why our boot time was slow so i made it faster

damn that's crazy

hmm. i think the FDO COC people actually missed this one? seems pretty bad!!

(this is vaxry's discord account)

it's a reasonably well done op i think unfortunately. i wouldn't trust anyone involved in managing that community; someone there 100% knows what they're doing in terms of fostering a pipeline into radicalisation.

e.g. their emotes list is... curated, in a word. the *vibe* is sus; mostly chan-y memes. but missing your pepes and such. but then there's always a pepe react on their big announcements? the whole server seems curated towards plausible deniability.

i think i will leave this discord now before i am noticed and harassed

im gonna take a peek in the discord and see if they're being normal about this.

they have a "hyprland-mentions" channel that afaict they use to organise brigading.

also would u believe it turns out vaxry is a 4chan guy! wow!!

this vaxry guy is quite a character huh

he is also a bigot would You believe it!!

i like how his whole blog post is an extended "there's actually no difference between good things and bad things! and actually there's no such things as bad things anyway! you're not the morality decider!"

and then u actually read specifically what the allegations against him are and it's like 'referred to someone being gay as "wanting to get AIDS"'

like bruh. what are u trying here.

come on guys 🙄

kagi spent a third of their VC money on producing t-shirts???

is netflix really as big as some of those other companies? or did they just not want the acronym to be FAAG?

i think the real takeaway is that postgres devs aren’t fucking around when it comes to performance

you know that meme, 'two kinds of electrical engineer: the kind that makes antennas on purpose, and the kind that makes them by accident'?

it's fucked up how that's just literally true.
