    Niggle: it's not research, but it could be interesting #anecdata. Just don't read too much into it.

    I've said a few times that all Fedi posts containing polls that say "boost for better sample" (or "research" here, similar) should be required to have one of the response options be "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN".

  5. @hugh i have a client who is DIY electrifying their tractor, for whom i’ve made couplings and troubleshot motor controllers #AnecData

  6. I have a new theory based on #anecdata:

    In the long term, #corporateIT decides against the best product or technology.

    Anecdata points:
    - #OS2
    - #NovellNetWare
    - #LotusNotes
    - #XML (this may be a tad controversial)

  10. @allpoints Thanks! For a mastodon poll that, on its face, shouldn't be that controversial, my gut says there should be about 1 comment for every 15-20 votes, so thanks for keeping us on track :) #anecdata

  11. For , I've distilled my 2025 wish list (fosstodon.org/@anecdata/113773) to one item:

    • asyncio support for sockets

    (it can be done for TCP currently, though I don't think it's CPython-compatible, I'm not sure it's complete, and it hardfaults gist.github.com/anecdata/89b44)

  16. Today's adventure in getting data from here to there...

    Two @pimoroni pico lipo 2XL W boards (@Raspberrypi RP2350B) with interconnected UARTs: 2 busio UARTs and 6 PIO UARTs each. @circuitpython asyncio code writing and reading each UART on each board:

  17. On the road with just a phone and a @circuitpython device?

    You can use your phone as a hotspot, auto-connect to it from the CircuitPython device, and use Web Workflow to access files and the serial console. Just a little pre-planning: edit the settings.toml file with the hotspot credentials.

  18. #anecdata Had to do med check today, and Dr. B tells me political anxiety (and the clinical consequences thereof) are just a regular part of his and others' practice now.

    Not that there was any doubt, I suppose. But if having Nazis in the halls of power is interfering with your mood or your ability to function, at least be advised that you are not alone.

  19. @ChrisMayLA6 to your last point, I've worked in the corporate world my whole career, and all of my most evil bosses were women. I have had some nice/good women bosses too and some evil men, but the top 5 evils were women.

  20. More bits of #anecdata from what turned to be "catch up with former colleagues" day. Even the big wealthy universities and research labs are entirely up in arms.

    Probably not admins quite so much, but the people who have to actually accomplish stuff. Faculty and staff and whatnot.

  21. @todayilearned writing stuff out in a notepad or on a sticky note or whatever, increases my information retention a ton. #anecdata

  22. @fay59 after my bargain basement SD cards wore out I paid through the nose for the Sony CFexpress cards. No issues so far #anecdata

  23. @SRDas

    I was there many years, and never noticed that. But:

    1) left in 2008, so maybe a new thing?

    2) my hair grows stupid slow, so even "faster" might not have been noticeable.

  24. @caseynewton I wonder if FOMO around Bluesky helped convince some early adopters who couldn't get Bluesky invites?

    My insta is basically friends plus some art and garden accounts. The only people I've noticed trying Threads work in design/tech, so I'm guessing they were both curious and felt obliged to try it. Others aren't looking for a Twitter alternative as they're over it #anecdata

  25. @kairyssdal This is right in line with my experience. In the office I manage, it's been weeks since no one had to stay home to care for a sick child. Cold, flu, Covid, RSV, hand-foot-mouth, you name it. #anecdata

  26. @si_fuller Econometric anecdata: time.
    Horse poo is $5 per bag around #Bywong. I have no idea what size 'a bag' is though.
    Also, I pay more for Alpacapoo (I strongly believe that this is all one word), I think it is $8per bag and the bag is a 2/3rds full chicken feed bag.
    Say $8 for 15L? of alpacapoo.

  28. With the onset of "flag weather", I've observed an uptick in anti-maga house decorations in my area.

    I'm not even pretending to claim any statistical significance, it's simply an observation.
