@cwebber @spritely all-timer meeting for sure

Also people are really excited about @dthompson's editor which they SHOULD BE because it's really cool

Wow what a cool @spritely community meeting! Really one of our best, if not the best?

Also I learned about Sacr3d, a WebGL 3d graphics / visualization / shader library written in Hoot? Holy heck! https://teddd.srht.site/sacr3d/

And it got NLnet funding! I had no idea!

On one hand, a good joke, on the other hand, when I turned 40 I started training myself to always reach for the handrail on stairs because I know too many older folks who died thanks to falling down the staircase and I am very much hoping not to be one of them

I have a diabolical plan to stop the rise of the Democratic Socialists! It's foolproof and guaranteed to work! It has no known defense!

Step 1: Be a Democratic politician already in power.

Step 2: Do all of the good things that DSA mayors do once they're elected, that 80% of your own voters want.

I think more white trans people should focus on reading things written by and talking to people of color. Because we understand oppression in a different way, in a way that has the benefit of generational knowledge. No one prepared me to be trans, there was no way for my family to know how my life would turn out and even if they did they had no experience. I was prepared to be Mexican. Adults in my life prepared me for a world that would treat me different due to the color of my skin.

One of the harder things about DIY work is when it doesn't quite go as planned and you have to figure out what to do next. While your house is turned into a building site.

I think I got slightly the wrong colour paint and now I have to re-do part of it 😢

Fun fact: between 1996 and 1998 If you clicked on the triangle on the Welcome or Channels screen, it would take you to a secret humor area that I edited.

My debut novel had only 7700 copies printed in hardcover but easily made back its publishing costs and advance (which was only $6500). It's done rather better since. Note also that "profitable for the publisher" and "earned out the author advance" are two different things.

social.lol folks (or anyone on the latest version of Mastodon): if you haven’t yet added alt text for your profile pic and header image, it only takes a moment and is genuinely helpful to many people! Head on over to https://social.lol/profile/edit and add it there. :prami_happy:

The Fastly C++ SDK is officially GA. If you've been wanting to run C++ at the edge, compiling it to Wasm on Fastly Compute gives you that raw performance inside an isolated, memory-safe sandbox.

It’s ideal for moving legacy ATS to the edge, running low-latency matchmaking for games, or giving agentic systems access to the vast C++ ecosystem. https://www.fastly.com/blog/fastly-c-sdk-is-now-generally-available

(Which isn't to say that beatboxing can't be original. Just that as a form of music making it borrows heavily from forms of music that developed with the advent of electronic instruments of various types. Electronic instruments became a source of inspiration for something like, "Hey! I can make that sound with my body!")

Like this .blend is 128kb, I'm fine with making "throwaway" things that are 128kb, even a number of megabytes. But like, over a gb for each "daily speed sculpt"? I dunno...

cwebber@social.coop ("Christine Lemmer-Webber") wrote:

If sculpting didn't cost a billion megabytes per model, I'd probably get into speed sculpting. But I don't want to fill up my computer with that much garbage. So alas, no speed sculpting for me.

There's something appealing to me about flat shading, it reminds me of Star Fox on the SNES.

I feel like there's a lot of retro juice that can be squeezed out of that aesthetic; I'm not really trying here, but I'd like to do so more

The Most Standard Operating System Ever:

- POSIX kernel/userland
- X/Open specced X11R5 windowing system
- X/Open specced Motif widget toolkit
- UDF Type 1 as the filesystem
- iBCS as the ABI

Everything a standard. (UDF is the only filesystem I know that is both standardized in itself and natively supports devices nodes and symlinks, required for POSIX)

All from scratch in ISO C. It will be completely standards compliant, an exemplar, and incompatible with everything.

BREAKING: Wikipedia workers in Britain are setting a global first by becoming the first body of workers at the online encyclopaedia to seek union recognition.

The WMF has undergone a period of significant change in recent months, escalating workers’ concerns over transparency, trust, and the organisation’s future direction.
