Got annoyed by Turye not being able to see the blank characters so now they are visible and selectable. It's easier to see which glyphs are missing.

I really like the definition of Human-scale, aka Personal Mastery, in the Design Principles Behind Smalltalk.

@neauoire This is how I feel about uxn. How it works fits into my head readily. It's such a nice feeling. I wish I felt this way about more programming languages / tools.

Odo Tournesol

@neauoire This last line is charming but naive

"Natural Selection: Languages and systems that are of sound design will persist, to be supplanted only by better ones.

Even as the clock ticks, better and better computer support for the creative spirit is evolving. Help is on the way. "

The "nature" sets the done of what is best. and inside capitalism what is best for capitalism isn't the best for humans

@neauoire this bit:

If a system is to serve the creative spirit, it must be entirely comprehensible to a single individual.

Love that.

@bouncepaw just wanted to tell you how much I love browsing through your wiki. Lots of good stuff in there :maru:

The tide brought a big chunck of styrofoam into the little anchorage we've tucked ourselves into for the past few weeks.

Floaty McFoamface just wants to go home. :')

@neauoire

Impressive!

Those big chunks are generally used to stabilize house boats when people change location to the furniture.

You can tow it in a safer place when you'll leave that bay, and maybe you can even barter it with something useful for Pino.

Added something to Nasu that we've been needing for quite a while, the option to read and write 1bpp graphics.

Extracting the first channel of a 2bpp picture.

I've been copy-pasting the same bad #uxntal code to add theme-support to software without really thinking about it. So if you copy-pasted my theme loading code, I'd suggest replacing it with something like this: wiki.xxiivv.com/site/libraries

I used slack today, it has been a year or two since I last had to, it took about 45 minutes to download the initial payload. I let it download the assets over breakfast, eventually purple bars started to show up, I just can't believe of they fucked up chat so bad.

I'm dreading the next time someone asks me for a "quick chat"

@neauoire Slack...now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.

@neauoire I have to use Microsoft Teams at $dayjob and having used Slack before, I think Slack might actually be the worse of the two.

Friends of ours gave us their old chart plotter. It's beautifully low-res, it's one of the fanciest electronic we have aboard now :D

I'm sure soon we'll see something else on that screen 😄
After all, when you're not sailing, there is no need to know every moment where you are… and that display is really attracting.

@neauoire Nice! That looks almost identical to the one that came with Hale Kai. I think yours is the "fish finder" version, that's why CPF(180|300)i? instead of CP(180|300)i?, so it probably has some way to connect a sonar transducer to it.

A Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for #uxn!
Takes an hour to render the mandelbroth, haha.

@neauoire lol, I misread it as a GB and GBC emulator running ON uxn and I thought WOW! *That* I need to see!

Still neat though.

Pagh

@neauoire
This is so cool!!
I'm gonna make a short gb game and run it on this
What Gameboy or Gameboy Color games that you've played in the past still inspire you?

Devine Lu Linvega

okay, cohost, ello and whatnot - but, don't let it sap your wanting to build yourself a personal website.

these platforms are not-anti software, they're anti-other-platforms, they want to be the one platform. So take inspiration from that, and build your own website, use syndication standards if you need, and say fuck platforms.

Devine Lu Linvega

Seeing the menu colors change in real time is super neat :maru:

I love how hyper-local the FM radio news are up here. The whole morning news segment covered nothing but the time when the tide will turn, whale and bear sightings, the time that the food carry ship will reach the public dock, the vegetables that are expected to be ready for harvest this month - the birthday of a local fisherman.

@neauoire Central/North Coast BC is such a vibe. Maybe I go try to work a commercial boat up there some day as a path to permanent residency or something 😅

How close are the bears to you two according to the sightings?

@neauoire That sounds like exactly the right amount of news my brain should be able to handle.


@neauoire This is what I aspire to when I eventually get my (definitely not) pirate radio station back up.
