  1. @mikeymikey just found the first messages I sent...July 24th, 2015 - mostly #backroom shenanigans.

  2. Glimmers of hope in dark times, #fediverse!

    Look at the #delightful responses to this #poll asking how people experience our emerging fedi..

    A #SocialMedia landscape of small villages, scattered with occasional larger cities, is the general perception thus far and that is a wonderful difference when contrasting to corporate ad-driven influencer-dominated platforms we have today.

    It would be nice if some of the people who voted Ghost Town gave their impression and needs they have wrt the fediverse.. cc @mikeymikey

  3. Nice things about the experience though?

    Can confirm the Puck works with macOS.

    Once you get past the Privacy setting configuration, Steam on macOS was able to natively update both the firmware of the Puck and the controller (needed to plug into each, one after the other) - which was pleasant to see, as that kind of thing can be overlooked

    Also - in Big Picture mode they have a nice indicator for remaining battery life on the #steamcontroller

    Overall, I think my primary usage for this will continue to be as a controller for #SteamDeck - but it's feels nice to have as an option for Mac as well

    (2/2)

  8. Ok - here's my #macOS (Tahoe) specific #steamcontroller #gaming #steam personal experience, having tried it out:

    So - it works!

    BUT

    The setup process from Valve does you no favors. While their help guide (help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/) has a Mac specific setup section - the on-screen setup in the Steam client itself does not help out Mac users at all

    The guide mentions you need to grant Steam "Input Monitoring" permission - but until I did this, Steam didn't even agree the controller was connected (via USB directly or via the Puck)

    And then the second permission "Accessibility" was explicitly necessary if you wanted to do a mouse and keyboard game and it needed to move the cursor (I chose Scritchy Scratchy as a test for this specific reason, especially since they just added macOS support)

    Another downside: the default keyboard and mouse layout for the controller maps shoulder buttons to scroll up and down - but only a single increment per press! I had to reconfigure it to enable turbo/repeated scrolling events.

  13. Es pot fer un DDR amb cartró, paper d'alumini, cables vells i traça? Amb #makeymakey és possible :P

  14. Remembering our #MakeyMakey -ized cat door to prevent the invader cat from coming in our house to steal cat food. #Tinkering
  15. @MagdeMINT

    Was leitet alles den elektrischen Strom und wie kann man das Ergebnis einer solchen Messung nutzen, um Signale an einen Computer zu schicken, damit man damit z.B. Musik zu machen oder ein Spiel spielen kann.

    Das haben die Kids vom #Stiftungsgymnasium zusammen mit Emily am #MakeyMakey, einem #Möhrenklavier und dem #HighFiveRomanceRace von @ratqueen ausprobiert.

  16. Schön war es beim heutigen Fest der kleinen Forscher*innen im Familienhaus im Nordpark. Wir hatten am Stand der @uni-magdeburg.de ein #Wasserklavier mit einem #MakeyMakey aufgebaut und haben kleine Experimente mit einem Elektrobaukasten angeboten, die viel Spaß und Erkenntnisse für Klein und Groß ermöglichten.

  17. An der 7. und letzten #MINTmachen Station konnten die Schüler*innen zusammen mit Medizintechnik-Studentin Lea mit einem #MakeyMakey ein #Möhrenklavier bauen oder das #HighFiveRomanceRace von @ratqueen spielen. Nebenbei lernt man, was alles den elektrischen Strom leiten kann.

  18. Außerdem haben wir an einer zweiten #MINT Aktionsstation noch ein #Wasserklavier mit einem #MakeyMakey gebaut, was im Sommer natürlich ein großer Spaß ist.
    In jedem der sieben wassergefüllten Kisten ist ein Kabel, so dass eine leitfähige Verbindung über Menschen gemessen und ausgewertet werden kann. Jeder Eimer spielt dann eine andere Note.

  19. Mais uns ajustes para o script #Python #pygame que fiz para um amigo usar com #MakeyMakey tocando sons quando uma tecla é apertada:

    gist.github.com/villares/20331

    Achei que ficou bem legal,
    a indicação da tecla ser o começo do nome do arquivo mp3, assim não precisa mexer no código.

    (tem uma outra versão anterior que é uma espécie de jukebox/tocador mas não ficou tão legal)

  20. Außerdem im #MINTmachen-Experimentierangebot hatten wir gestern noch:
    - kleine #Sphero-Roboter für eine Roboterminigolf-Spiel
    - ein #makeymakey für ein #Möhrenklavier
    - das #Wasserstoffkoffer mit Elektrolyseur und Brennstoffzelle
    - kleine Roboter von #KUBO_Robot

  21. Hey @carrierobledo here’s a good share!!

  22. Auch cool:
    Der Lehrstuhl für Erziehungswissenschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt Digitale Medienkulturen an der #OVGU hat jetzt einen eigenen #Makerspace, der heute eröffnet wurde, stilecht mit 3D-Drucker, Lasergravierer, einer Nähmaschine, einigen #Ozobot, @calliope, #MakeyMakey, einer Lötstation und vielem mehr.

  23. Schöne Beschäftigung für den Freitagnachmittag - wir waren gestern beim Forscher*innen-Fest in der #KiTaKnirpsenland und hatten zwei tolle #MINT-Mitmachstationen dabei:
    1. Unser schönes #Eimerklavier mit einem #MakeyMakey, das man mit Händen oder Füßen und Wasser spielt.

  24. Unsere erste Reise in die Südsee hat gestern begonnen. Die Karl-von-Ibell-Schule ist mit uns gemeinsam unterwegs, um Sehnsuchtsorte zu erkunden und Neues zu entdecken. Dabei nutzen wir Medien unterschiedlichster Art. Das Kollegium der KvI hat sich schon im Vorfeld auf die Reise eingestimmt und auf der Schulwebsite ein Video veröffentlicht.
