@neauoire What a coincidence, I was looking into this language a few days ago. We're gonna be studying it at the end of the semester on my creatively titles "programming languages" course.
Have you tried it?

@neauoire Nice. I hate those plastic SodaStream bottles with the bottom always coming unglued. Looked for alternatives (eg glass) but no.

@neauoire please make a wiki page dedicated to this! We want carbonated water on board as well :)

@neauoire nice! Is that a sankey to ball-lock adapter? What size keg did you go with?

@neauoire Do you know this place? https://www.gradientretreat.com/

@neauoire "A civic transcript buried on the internet is regenerated as a feature film, word-for-word and entirely in close-up. Public Hearing is the verbatim re-performance of a rural American town meeting from a transcript downloaded as publicly available information."

@neauoire Sorta weird it’s sitting bare, surprised it’s not covered in paintings or graffiti? Maybe an American thing?

@neauoire 8000 ? that's also not over 9000, and one too many !

@neauoire thats way more rabbits than 100

@neauoire @viznut two thoughts: computers as givers of zen koans... and who created/built/maintains these computer temples, so interesting! After having a long relationship with computers I am definitely searching for alternatives. Programming as meditation, yes!

@neauoire Literally designed a world/game around that idea of knowledge tech being ancient (so much so that cabling was central to the world and mechanics), and the only place where actual knowledge was to be found. A mixture of Blame! (of course) and the Name of the Rose. I still want to go back to it, not sure if Square stil has the rights to my ideas from then, tho.

@neauoire wait, where does xor come into play in Mandelbrot?

@neauoire
Depends what is meant by "mobile" really. Phones and tablets may be out, but other transportable devices could work?

@neauoire
Wich disqualifies and excludes anyone who does not own a computer but only a phone (quite a percentage of the population... and mainly the less wealthy part).

@neauoire the permacomputing wiki looks fine on a mobile browser 🤷

@neauoire I aspire to only work on stuff i can put out at 95% and call it experimental. Also, I'm an agency software person now, I have yet to see 100% in this job. If something goes out at 95% it's a good day.

@neauoire yeah my experience is:

- the first 90% takes 90% of the work
- the last 10% takes the other 90% of the work

@neauoire 95% done! Now to begin the second, much harder 95%

@neauoire what's the text encoding?

@neauoire similarly, the token limit in pico-8 is one of its strengths

@neauoire wonderful side project! 🤩 but what is that atrocious font? 😝

@neauoire omg A+

@neauoire I love it

@neauoire @f115 this is so cool

@neauoire very nice sounds, I like it very much

@neauoire This is so charming ✨

@neauoire I’ve been watching you work on uxn and related projects for a bit.

I fiddled with it a bit today and think it’s charming. I want to take a closer look at some point.

@neauoire did you manage to exploit something you didn’t know about by accident? 🙀

@neauoire INTERCAL! Just don't implement "PLEASE". 😂

@neauoire Yes. It was one of the arguments why INTERCAL is better than Perl, which has GOTO and as we all know that is considered harmful. :-)

@neauoire So this is UXN running on the playdate? That's cool! Also, awesome effect, color limitations really push creativitiy.

@neauoire I just love the term ditherpunk. we need a ditherpunk manifesto to really kickoff the movement

@neauoire I don't know what game that is going to be, but I am digging that spectrum style isometric

@neauoire Is it because it's unusual to think of making software as personal tools instead of for a broad audience of non-experts?

@neauoire yes... that's exactly what they think - that VMs are a zero sum game, and developing on of your own means every other one is a little less popular than it could be

@neauoire People have a hard time with the concept of rejecting infinite scope and accepting things might have a small scope and become feature complete.

@neauoire Man, I spent so much time exploring the educational CDs in the 90s.

To this day #utopianScjolastic aesthetic makes me quite melancholic - for a brief period of time it made me feel that the future was bright.

Well, at least I was lucky enough to be commissioned for an illustration based on it, so I had an excuse to go dig into those again.

Now I want to browse some again :)

@neauoire Microsoft Cinemania was my favourite and the only one I had access to and cared to buy... I have found nothing to surpass its glory in the "modern age". Reviews made by just a few real critics, minimal multimedia, lots of wonderfully hyperlinked text. I did multiple backups and I think that the ISO still works on recent systems, used it 3-4 years ago. Such software was curated to be treated like a book which stays on your shelf and does not have to be updated by millions of people.

@neauoire time to bust out my Grolier’s Multimedia Encyclopedia and drop the CD into the caddy for my 4x speed CD-ROM drive! 😊

@neauoire I love this one

(Left has something akin to the Canon Cat search navigation, where I hold leap+string to move around the text, it's a bit odd if you're not used to it.)

@neauoire it's looking super cute! :uxn:
