Thanks! I’m hoping to build a community of benevolent, thoughtful people who want to discuss technologies and their applications toward the betterment of humanity in the future.
Ps. I welcome all people and all experiences. I even welcome haters.
You don’t need to be a coder to belong to this community. It might just teach you something about protecting yourself in the future.
Electronics/maker stuff welcome?
Awesome! I'm clawing back more time from work and working towards some open source hardware and software stuff. Will be fun to post once I have things underway. Mostly, I'm aiming at free and open FPGA libraries and actually useful AR/mobile computing stuff that fits in with the positive technological side of cyberpunk, rather than the dystopian. Absolutely want to dig into doing LoRa at some point as well, myself.
EDIT: Just realized that I misread the community name but, I'm still into it.
I am indeed very interested in RISC-V. It's one of the reasons that I got an FPGA board in the first place and why I decided to spend a bit extra to get a "grown-up" Xilinx 7 series instead of the cheap Lattice FPGAs. Just wish it were possible to get anywhere near "real" CPU clock speeds on an FPGA and that large enough FPGAs to run some of the really cool designs weren't so expensive so that I could build my dream, fully-open-source computer.
Solarpunk for tech? I dig it. I followed the community, you seem to really care about it, and while I don’t understand a lot of what you posted, I dig it.
I’ll try to participate when I can, but I can’t promise a whole lot. :)
I look forward to it!
I hope you are prepared for very noob questions cuz ima probs throw some at you, it being what I know.
I’m a science and tech communicator by training (drastically underemployed as tech customer service, but if someone would just give me documentation to do, damn..) so no dummy; don’t know shit about software dev/coding but I learn very well. :)
Have a wonderful day/night! Bed I go.
Ugh. Fine. The whole concept is very idealistic. But I subscribed any way, because your right. I might learn a thing.
