Each night Rek has been reading The Haunting of Hill House to me, it's excellent. If you've enjoyed We Always Lived In The Castle, it's worth a read 👻 @neauoire oh I love that book! The way Elanoar frames everything, as someone who just escaped her family, Her desperation to belong, against the backdrop of that vile house  Working on a little tune with sounds from the nurses fighting scene in Silent Hill.

  @neauoire Unlike our nice little sailboats, these 300m ship cabins are absolutely ill equipped for this :)  @neauoire eh, j'ai pensé à vous en lisant ce commentaire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZCgrFDY_xw&lc=Ugw2U4NHZe1CEA6svRh4AaABAg.9zpt1osyJyv9zqPjWiqjI9 did you ever sail through Queen Charlotte Sound? A fisherman tells his story being swept by a rogue wave 😨 I was working on something yesterday and accidentally made that iconic phonk cowbell sound, this morning, I though it might be fun to add the other things.

Philosopher Ivan Illich coined the term "Overgrowth of Tools" to describe the situation where people came to rely on tools to solve problems, but became overly dependent on these tools and on those who control them. This dependency reaches the point where the tools, rather than serving people, start dictating and molding their lives until the sight of their original purpose is lost.

@neauoire I highly recommend Andrew Sage’s recent video on this very topic https://youtu.be/bP2rObVK1zgx @neauoire didn't read the whole page, but that won't stop me :-) do you know the book Technopoly by Neil Postman? Subtitle is "The Surrender of Culture to Technology". Can recommend! @neauoire This calls to mind Ursula Franklin’s CBC lectures on The Real World of Technology. I started on a close reading of them a few months ago, annotating them and everything. Thank you for the reminder to get back to that. Redrawing bug kicked my ass, five hours later I was finally catching out-of-screen drawings again X(  @neauoire Is the rate of falling related to the framerate? I'm having a really hard time at 165Hz.  When we walk in the trails, we find all these tiny little colorful flakes of plastics on the ground, and all that sort of garbage high-tech outdoors clothing uses forever chemicals. Could it be that modern outdoors clothing is poisoning.. the outdoors. 🤔

 @neauoire there was an article on HeatMap about it the other day https://heatmap.news/lifestyle/raincoats-pfas-gore-tex-patagonia-rei  If you have a static site and would like to generate an index file so the files in it can be seen(and don't have htaccess to turn on indexing). I made this for rek's website, it creates an index.html file at that location, and just puts the files as clickable links in a list: http://wiki.xxiivv.com/etc/dir.c.txt cc dir.c -o dir

 Someone not too long ago shared a way to play Age Of Empires 2 on linux without too much fussing around. Does anyone still have that link? edit: got it https://aoe2.arkanosis.net/linux/

No dice. Game released in 1999, repackaged to require gigabytes of shit to run it on linux via something called Proton. Would be almost playable if it wasn't for the lag, but leaks memory like no tomorrow, have to close and restart it every few minutes. Also, what the fuck are we doing, I mean- wow.  @neauoire ugh, i bet there is a way to get the original 1999 version running in wine but will probably be at least a bit annoying |
@neauoire eight months code-sober here! You got this!
@neauoire I haven't done any programming for a week, send help.
@neauoire Taking a break can definitely make oneself see more clearly.. I almost always change gears a bit and focus on other things when I get back to "creating". I hve these ~10 project categories that I slowly move between after intensely spending too much time on one. In 10 years I will be finished with 10 widely different projects :p
