I'm Alkyrion. No, sadly this is not my real name.

I have been lurking for quite a while, and recently decided to finally join after shit hit the fan over at Twitter HQ.

I am into computer stuff, analog photography (I took over my dad's Canon A-1), and various other stuff I cannot remember while writing this. Oh, and also ADHD stuff, and I'm a type 1 diabetic.

What you can expect here:

computer stuff
PS3 software development
rants
short shower thoughts
long shower thoughts
occasional ramblings about computers and everything else
additional musings
photos I have taken with my film camera
other photos I have taken
Lots, and I can't repeat this loud enough, LOTS of untagged posts, so proceed with caution through my hord!

~~If you are reading this, you are legally obligated to ask me how the PS3 stuff is coming along.~~

PS3 stuff is on hold while I work on reverse-engineering the firmware to a scooter battery.

Scooter stuff is on hold while I work on getting access to CAN-FD equipment

You know what my projects are chaos and ever-changing

This is just so I don't end up shelving it like lots of other personal projects.

Seen someone say “I can’t die, I got graves to dance on that hasn’t been dug yet.” And honestly, that goes hard. We need to keep that energy.

Translation: “I am fucking tired of the soviet car industry” *the standard effect of touching a soviet car* *laughs in russian*

I can’t get over the sheer poetry of how the car falls apart - the perfect chain reaction escalating as it travels round.

This is the single funniest video on the Internet

No, it’s even funnier!

He goes “вы заебали на советский автопром”, which is roughly “i’m fucking tired of you (getting) at the soviet car industry”. So he actually says “yall fucking wrong about soviet cars being bolt buckets!” and hits the car as proof of its durability and then it falls apart.

His intonatin gives off a slight hint that he 100% knows what’s gonna happen and is being sarcastic. So very likely he’s not even annoyed, he knows what’s about to follow, laugs about it, and then does it.

Which is even funnier!

May 31 2016 - Collin Kennedy, who is a cancer patient, used expanding spray foam to disable a parking meter at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg where he gets his treatment. He says the fees are a tax on the sick. [video]

yes!!!!!!!!

Lots of well-intentioned (I hope) but extremely condescending comments in the notes like “maybe don’t film yourself doing crime.” Respectfully… This man knew what he was doing. He didn’t just film himself, he invited media to film him. He did this to make his own statement, with his own voice, with his own face. He wanted himself and his actions to be visible.

Collin Kennedy died in 2018, just two years after this video was taken. What would anonymity have achieved for him in those last two years? Avoiding punishment? His whole point was that these parking fees are already a punishment on the sick.

Is public protest dangerous? Sure. Is it more dangerous than merely existing as a sick or disabled person navigating a hostile healthcare system? I think that is for every individual experiencing it to decide for themselves.

Cancer patient who filled Winnipeg meter with spray foam to protest hospital parking fees dies | CBC News

A Winnipeg man who filled a city parking meter with spray foam to protest the high cost of parking for sick people around hospitals has died

CBC

Collin Kennedy, 50, lived with multiple myeloma — a type of blood cancer — for 19 years.

He invited media to watch him fill a parking meter with spray foam to raise awareness about the high costs of parking for cancer patients and other sick people getting treatment. Video of Kennedy vandalizing the meter was widely shared on social media. It led to a Canada-wide petition to end the practice of charging for parking near hospitals.

He was a man who fought the only way he knew how, even if that meant taking matters into his own hands and disabling parking meters. He wasn’t in the boardrooms or corridors of power, he was on the streets trying to make a difference. (CBC News, December 12, 2018)
