Permacomputing critics have a really hard time resisting to strawman the concept, they just can't help themselves, once they've boxed-in the whole thing into some reductive pointless hobby, then it's always, but wait! I've got a BETTER NAME for something that's exactly what permacomputing is, but I made it up, it's a word I came up for it all by myself, it's new, and it's better. It's not-permacomputing, that's yesterday, my new thing that I've conjured in a minute, that's the real deal.

@neauoire Yeah, naming things is hard. I always thought it was similar to “permaculture” in that both perma-* words apply to concepts of sustainability, long-termism, whole-systems thinking, and approachability from the standpoint of an individual. If I had to name it though, I’d probably call it “solarpunk computing”, which has a nice ring to it, lol  Is it just me or has there been a recent burst of life on IRC, every channel I'm in is bustling with activity these days, and most of these are usually dormant.

 Nature is an infinite sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference is nowhere. @wim_v12e Add the repo to this post! I'd love to see the dvd example now :D And what it compiles to We heard a tree crack and fall last night when the wind rose. The leek I planted by the logging trail must be happy about this tropical downpour after so many dry days. "Because our computers are Turing-complete universal von Neumann machines. That means that any enshittificatory alteration to a program can be disenshittified with another program. When Tesla installs code that says you have to pay an extra monthly fee to use your whole battery, they invite a modder to start selling a kit to jailbreak that battery and charge it all the way up." Not leaving the hammock until either the kindle batteries or my glass of hibiscus tea runs out. It is SO nice to lay at anchor for more than 2 days! Dev & I have been walking in the forest everyday, building up our leg muscles again :neofox_googly: I now have lots of time to work on my little comic, and to advance other projects~

The EatLancet report is probably the best thing I've read on nutrition and sustainability in a long time. the tl;dr is eating a lot of sustainably grown plant foods is ideal for us and the environment. But seeing the why of it is compelling. https://eatforum.org/content/uploads/2019/07/EAT-Lancet_Commission_Summary_Report.pdf @dualhammers In Gregger's last book, there's a whole chapter on the various finding on why plants that have been nibbled by insects turn out to be more nutritious, that blew my mind a bit. I was expecting it to be mentioned in the Lancet Commission, if you're interested I can pick out that chapter and send it over, I think it'll interest you :)  The ability to understand words when the first and last letters are stable, but the middle letters are scrambled is known as “typoglycemia”. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy*, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. * No such research was carried out at the University of Cambridge.

@neauoire I think one has to be literate to be able to have typoglycemia. Very surprised this was so easy to read. I am really bad at anagrams, but the first and last letter seem to nail it.  "I have tried to rescue from oblivion a subaltern horror: the vast, contradictory Total Library, whose vertical wildernesses of books run the incessant risk of changing into others that affirm, deny, and confuse everything like a delirious god."  Integrated the Uxntal opcode reference into uxn.wasm. Now every opcode implementation has documentation and examples. https://github.com/remko/uxn.wasm/blob/main/src/uxn.wat #uxn @remko That's really nice, is there a way to query the documentation in wasm the same way you would in CL? |
