Proper little intro: Hi I am Natalie, known as Natalie the Nerd. I am mostly known for my led kits for the Game Boy line. I like to learn and make PCBs. I am self taught and like to share what I learn with others freely online

Listening to Australian politicians talk about how we need to support the American AI models and not the Chinese open weight models because free models will let anyone hack. oh I love being a vassal state #auspol

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

Ohhhhhh Brasilllllllll! Imagine jailing the guy who did the insurrection and not voting in his son! South America is the best America

I ration my ram on my home server rack like it's the last 5 cans of food on earth. I just moved my home assistant from a RPi with 4GB of RAM to a proxmox container because 4GB is such a waste on HAOS

It's hard to take a good pic on my phone, but modern screen kits are too saturated due to the games being coloured for the original screen. Specifically Pokemon Crystal looks shit. So I added my own saturation settings

I wanna make a blog post on this. I learned so freaking much through this project. This is my answer when people ask how I learned electronics. You have to stubbornly push yourself to make a project and that's how you learn about digital logic

I have been playing around with UI for my OSD, and I made a terminal style one because ive been playing with linux distros lately

I still play my steam deck almost daily and I've had it for three years. It kinda killed my enthusiasm for anything Nintendo switch (which I used to play daily)

I'm going to be an old lady complaining that no one routes their pcbs in kicad anymore. It annoys me but its almost therapeutic

When I watch my socialist commentators and they talk about my favourite drone manufacturer... I learned he tweeted this

read someone saying, they could have given the money they paid for the tokens to an open source dev team and now im sad

it's been hard getting back into work after my mental health break, I've made some silly mistakes here and there 🫠

Doing my first board scan since I switched to Linux in my workshop, I'm surprised how good the scanner drivers and software is?!

People really have to ask AI about the most basic shit like oh there's a little bit of left over plastic in the way of my game boy shell what do I do? JUST CUT IT

sigh, it makes me angry to see what is happening in brazil with bolsonaro jr - you know they are going to do this with orange man at some stage

Oh my god they little cucks are actually saying SI instead of AI. Funny that they don't want to dead name a clanker

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social

United States President Donald Trump issues executive order instructing federal government agencies to "use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' and will not acknowledge the usage of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in any applicable setting."

I can smell the vibe coded interface from here. Why does AI always use this beige colour when it does web building

My aunty, who was born in Italy, said she was going to vote for Pauline Hanson and I converted her. Unfortunately boomers have zero media literacy, so I told her a few things she has said and done. I told her to tell her friends so hopefully it spreads. #auspol

My mum is younger, she's gen x, but I have radicalised her so she ripped into my aunty as well. I need to tour the local Italian social clubs with all the 70 year olds

okay i need to finish my lego and ipod then i can play with my ds lite project. i need someone to punch me if i start making ds lite circuits

It's a god damn shame how many people are using AI to make a tonne of slop in the retro gaming scene. All for money

I'd like to say something but I fear bluesky would ban me for longer than 3 days this time

Boasting to the world of his mass terrorist atrocity:

Netanyahu bringing up Hasan at the UN... burn it down, bring on the pfas and the super extreme el nino the earth was a mistake
