Added something to Nasu that we've been needing for quite a while, the option to read and write 1bpp graphics. 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: http://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/libraries.html 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"

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 😄

A Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for #uxn! 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. @neauoire actually, just now I was browsing this list of defunct blogging platforms: https://www.are.na/wesleyac/defunct-blogging-platforms 🤷 @neauoire true for most, not cohost at least. https://cohost.org/shel/post/15802-ma-nishtana-why-th 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? Hibiscus tea is my favourite cold drink in the summer, I could drink pitchers it, I probably would if I didn't care about it burning through my teeth enamel. We are people from all walks of life with one aim: To make it impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4 in the world’s urban areas. How to deflate an SUV tire, with lentils: :nocars:

@neauoire Drivers don't share 45% of the urban landscape well except with each other, and SUVs take up the most space when you look around. Their employers would probably sympathize, as they also are very likely to drive SUVs. Andreas Malm writes that a driver might inconvenience or even injure cyclists and pedestrians and easily escape consequences, but the retaliation in response to nonviolent reversible inconvenience is often frothing with threats of violence or law-enforced. Lentil away IMO Followed the moss-covered shores of Hathayim to a small opening among the fallen trees and spotted a little pile of shells with a thick layer of dust cemented on top. I wonder when someone last cultivated this oyster bed, how many years it has laid there undisturbed. A hundred years, a thousand years? I've been thinking about documentation lately. I'm writing all these notes on the permacomputing wiki about would be an ideal resilient software or hardware. And uxn roms most often than not will fail these checks. One thing that I hate is that, if you happen to loose the Noodle README, or never got it in the first place because you used a direct rom link. Then the application itself has no menu, and is not self documenting in any sort of way.

@neauoire my favorite pattern for self-documenting software: standard toolbar (that is also keyboard navigable w/ alt) with keyboard shortcuts listed next to the menu entries. i believe blender does this (blender generally has a quite good ui, blender can be confusing but i don't think the ui is to blame). |
