The A4 plastic mirror adds a new dimension of tinkerability. #tinkering #playingwiththesun

Solar art machine art at Dokk1 with Liam. #tinkering

Without the solar engine it gets stuck whenever it gets its angle too far from perpendicular to the sun.

The 2.25 trigger with 4700uf cap has a fast, bug like movement. #tinkering

As the machine changes its angle to the sun it moves faster or slower. #tinkering

Experiments drawing with the sun. #tinkering Working from conversations with Liam, Andrew, and Sarah.

A very enthusiastic creature in the arms of his co-creator. #tinkering

A beautiful but menacing bug born out of a collaboration. #tinkering

The taxonomy of invented creatures grows as the collective makes discoveries. #tinkering

@checkervest This reminds me of something Ivan Illich said, that the best way to take away someone's freedom is not to tell them what they can't do, but to tell them what they must do. This seems like a corollary in that the best way to stop people exploring the meaning the poem is to put them in a system that pretends there is a simple answer.

I once got yelled at in a high school literature class because the teacher asked what The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock was about and she stopped me mid sentence and told me furiously that the only correct interpretation was "a dinner party." after class she took me aside by myself and said "yeah there's a lot of other stuff and we could spend weeks on it but what's the point of discussing it if we can't spend weeks on it, and it won't be on the test anyway" and I think about that a lot

@renatolond Yep! Done. Let me know if I can help test or anything.

@renatolond Ok, np. I'll post a link to the issue here for future reference. https://github.com/renatolond/mastodon-twitter-poster/issues/593

@renatolond Happy to! And many thanks. Note though that I can't view the tweet you linked me to above - "This Tweet is unavailable."

@renatolond Source toot: https://masto.amosamos.net/notice/AANMfxAurxPwUaJONc, crossposted tweet: https://twitter.com/AmosLightnin/status/1427172862142652418?s=20

@renatolond Interesting! On my pleroma instance the crosspost to twitter shows a link even though the toot is public with no CW / image not marked sensitive. Maybe an issue with pleroma?

@renatolond Are there any plans to support cross-posting of media like images and videos, instead of crossposting links back to the toot? Or is that perhaps something that our pals at the bird site have made difficult?

Hiya @renatolond - First, thank you for making and hosting a pleroma compatible cross-poster!

Alpha #tinkering workshop on taxonomy of invented creatures at Dokk1, which invites tinkerers to evolve @tinkeringstudio's cranky contraptions.

This 1000W spot I bought doesn't seem to drive a 1 Watt Solar panel quite as well as I'd hoped. Still researching the best artificial lighting. #tinkering
