rock people (I know you're here) what's a rock that looks like gold but is not, and is not pyrite?

@annika sure! thanks for asking :)

Let’s say a person who is fairly non-technical wanted to learn the basics of Arduino stuff. What videos/resources would folks recommend? I don’t need to become an expert. I literally just need to learn so I can do a specific art thing which involves turning a pump on and off.

Very cool and normal behavior. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/05/1168158549/twitter-npr-state-affiliated-media

I will never not be salty about podcasts that have tens of thousands of patrons/clearly a lot of money and are still not offering transcripts of any kind.

This story is wild on so many levels and lots of other people have covered the ethics on this well but I am still just BOGGLED at the logistics? It is someone's job, it seems, to go onto websites for law firms engaged in litigation against MSG (of which there are probably many) and scrape their names and photos to feed into the system. That is absolutely fucking bananas. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/face-recognition-tech-gets-girl-scout-mom-booted-from-rockettes-show-due-to-her-employer/4004677/
