"The idea that you can’t paint because the world is ‘made of war and cruelty’ has to be the lamest and most faint-hearted excuse not to work I have ever heard, Dan. How will painting a fucking picture help?"  @neauoire i don't buy the argument equating the the artist(whatever that is) and the doctor. Nor do I believe we should reify these roles and values. As a young Canadian artist (cough) many moons ago, I soon realised I was not interested in that economy. And so, art is my private refuge, and service something that takes many forms. Rarely are service and 'work', economical, the same. And something about Adorno. The Mastodon UI takes too many clicks to go from a report to suspending the host instance 😭  @neauoire there might be some tools to help, idk I dont get these rn ( 🤞 )  @neauoire Would it help to press more bodies to this thankless work? Happy to help with button pressing. I don't know if Mastodon provides sufficiently expressive privilege management..  Drowning under spam messages, I'll have to turn off notifications from people I don't follow for a while.  @neauoire I turned off notifs for folks that don't follow me, and that's cut out pretty much all the spam. @remko I was wondering if you had any insight on how I could transform the console device byte stream in uxn5, so that utf-8 characters are understood properly, so I need to fill a temporary buffer during parts of multi-byte character? @neauoire I think you’re looking for TextDecoder: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder See my usage here: https://github.com/remko/uxn.wasm/blob/5a19a40f5e8b06a6c5f9fad9fb87fe61429fb144/src/util/index.js#L42  @neauoire Hide temporarly instances with open registration on JoinMastodon and instances social. I honestly don't know how to deal with the current onslaught of spam. Is the solution to defed from every open registration instances?

  @neauoire I saw this recommendation here to add filters: https://meow.social/@Nomaxice/111949683722898263 that should be at least a temporary stopgap for users experiencing this  William MacBrien rescued after 46 hours adrift semi-submerged in south Pacific

Thinking of doing something for the Watt-wise gamejam, I wonder what types of graphical games require the less power draw..

 @neauoire Definitely turn-based - don't want a lot of things happening at a time. Maybe card-style games? Something graphically simple. Could do a point-and-click adventure or those text-controlled graphical adventures?  @neauoire The economy has to shift to export benefit per watt as the measure of value. Unity/Unreal/Godot are in that context not even options. AAA is even worse. Make your own engines and share load between hot-reloaded C++ and Java. Make your games engines open with "Source Available". License assets with resell rights to minimize bureaucracy. Make client-server multiplayer action games with gameplay that never expires. A jam is not the solution because it creates more waste. Konilo is a small, pragmatic personal computing system written in Forth and running on a tiny virtual computer. A complete system consists of an ilo vm, an image file ("rom") with the Konilo system, and a set of blocks for storage of code and data.  Refreshed the look and feel of the javascript uxn repl, it took me a while to get to it but it was well worth it, it used to run on an old version of the assembler that didn't have all the features of the more modern assemblers(lambdas, etc..) It now has parity :maru: Also, dark mode is growing on me. Someone has been solving the Rosetta Code problems in #uxn.  @neauoire I'm expecting lots of pictures and videos from you northamerican people. Please keep us informed of The Flood. @neauoire I just moved to Chicago. I've heard it's gonna be INTENSE here! I'm excited about it (for now)

@neauoire congratulations! Your choice (your and Rekka) made a huge impact on my life! I remember I was blown away for weeks when I first stumbled on hundred rabbits, years ago, and since then you two have been constantly a reference point in my life. Thank you for your courage of living the life truly at the fullest!! Whenever I meet a person under forty, living in the neighborhood we're currently moored at, my initial guess based on previous encounters is that they must be scamming the elderly into buy repackaged supplements, while running some sort of tiktok lifestyle coach - that seems to be the pattern here. This morning I met one, which lead by telling me how they're NOT selling pills. What they do instead is make the customer think they're buying supplements but instead email them ads daily. Work in Canada is so fucking meta, entrepreneurship really just means having had parents in Alberta who made money in tarsands, flipping houses and airbnb, or scamming the elderly. |
