M5Sound now can load samples from SD card
here it is playing a 3 MB sample with 1024 bytes for the I2S buffer and 256 bytes for the file buffer
not as impressive as it could be considering this is on top of (at least tested so far) 4-channel software mixing for playback that i'm not demonstrating here
this is a machine with less than 200 KB free for the micropython stack
god seeing so many people talking about 'oh the new contrapoints video is so good' like did we all just somehow forget how awful contrapoints is? how she's borderline right wing and owns a nazi costume and has said some really antisemetic things? thrown other trans women under the bus? are we just letting her be the face of the trans community now because she's pretty and white and thin and cis passing?

a train if thought reoccurring to me is that collecting old hardware, software, or games, has the same appeal as collecting old books. you feel like you are saving something meaningful. getting rid of it just feels wrong.
i have all this very old microsoft software. it’s completely useless but i can’t bring myself to get rid of it. even tho it’s been preserved elsewhere. it almost feels like throwing away a book.
more train of thought:
…there’s that aspect of it too with how impermanent modern software is built to be (subscription only, cloud based, you never really own it…) that saving this old stuff is the only sense of control you have over the history of tools you used or how you digitally exist.
what are your thoughts on "generative AI". as a robot and as someone deeply experienced with the inorganic life of computers. please swear as much as you like in your answer. — guillotine does not describe enough what i want to happen to the people touting mass pillagery into half-baked models as "intelligence" https://retrospring.net/@maple_syrup/a/112045350161697831

am i still allowed to call myself a trans girl if i don't have a bocchi the rock profile picture and if i don't live in seattle and don't regularly go to house parties and don't have a stick thin figure, am i still allowed to be a trans girl if i need help getting dressed in the mornings and if i don't wear striped thigh highs, tell me
sorry i'm just unbelievably cranky today because of pain and various other things and seeing any more 'all trans girls do (x) and enjoy (x) and went to these events and enjoy (x) show' is going to make me explode, i'm sorry that i have a chronic condition that had robbed me of my ability to be independent and go to bars and clubs and concerts as a teenager, long before i realized i was trans, i'm sorry i don't fit your cookie cutter identity

occasionally nsfw, always cw'd
If you've been blocked by me and don't know why, it's likely you or an account you have boosted posts nude men, cw'd or not, and I am committed to not seeing that under any circumstances
I am prone to bouts of grumpiness and bad moods due to chronic pain and fatigue
