re: LB, when i found out the sloppers had a place to go that wasn't github, i was happy for them, despite them being awful bastards.

contrast this with the shit codeberg has gotten for putting down honestly a half arsed compromise rather than a proper slapdown from the very same slop peddlers.

Shortly after this, I saw a popup on my LG TV notifying me that I needed to accept new ToS. That reminded me to go into my router and block the TV's internet access. 😠

We're also going to be in the market for a new TV this year (the LG is many years old now and starting to have some image issues) and despite generally loving the display quality and UI of LG TVs, we'll definitely be giving preference to anything else.

LG is **awful**. They abuse Windows Update to auto-install LG spyware that reserves the right to collect "precise geolocation data", "online activity", "user identifiers" and a ton more. LG monitors now operate by the same ethics as Smart TVs, except with full admin access to your computer.

I wonder if there's any animators hanging out on the Fediverse

Anyway speaking of animated embroidery here is my contribution

brib@bribstodon.xyz ("brib :neofox_floof:​ :Nonbinary:") wrote:

I want to say that to animate you can get away with tracing over previous images, which is something I have done and it seems to be a technique supported by some animation software (Flipnote Studio comes to mind because I don't have the budget for the real deal and that was the time in my life I did the most animation, no clue how the pros do it). But idk how they do that with embroidery or if they even do it at all.

I guess you could put the "base" drawing on paper, transfer it to the canvas somehow then embroider it over? But that still leaves an embroidery step and animation tends to require quite a bit of precision

brib@bribstodon.xyz ("brib :neofox_floof:​ :Nonbinary:") wrote:

I admire it even more knowing a little bit about embroidery and animation. Doing either of these things is very labour-intensive. A picture that is about a half-hour to draw is looking to be 1-2 weeks to embroider. Granted, I'm doing hand-embroidery while the devs use machines, but those machines are very expensive and it's probably still harder than a traditional drawing.

Then to animate them requires doing a bunch of these drawings - embroideries - over and over where they're different enough to convey motion but not so different it looks strange. It's a difficult skill in and of itself and to embroider them on top of that... like wow.

Hats off to the devs for pulling this off. (And I'm seriously tempted to "shut up and take" my money on the game for the art itself)

Oh! That could be part of the human computer recreation event. People cosplaying as Babbage going around complaining about inaccuracies in the calculations, trying to get money for his devices, and complaining about buskers and the like.

Assuming necromancy doesn't work out, I suppose you could do recreation events with enough human computer enthusiasts. You know, get together and churn through some log tables or something... I bet you could just feel the spirit of Babbage glaring at you from the beyond:

don't get me wrong, i'd prefer to replace Hindley-Milner with proper dependent types, i just doubt my ability to implement them well, so it would really be dependent on someone with the appropriate knowledge getting involved.

dysfun@treehouse.systems ("gaytabase") wrote:

okay, so let's say we had a systems language that had:

1. erlang-style actors
2. a Hindley-Milner style type system
3. manual memory management

how does that sound as a proposition?

Painting the portrait at Dekaai again. It was raining pretty badly which is fine for the painting. But I didn’t bring any raincoat or even a jacket or something so it was quite cold. Either way, the model chose my painting again which today was fine since I didn’t really want to carry it home through the rain.

I'm pretty sure every single one of the upgrade problems I've encountered in the past would've have been, "Welp, time for a new computer, I guess" for people without my knowledge or access to a friend with my kind of knowledge. Of course, those people are probably running Windows or MacOS and don't get themselves into this sort of mess, so I dunno...

EDIT: several things seem a bit off, so maybe there's a charitable interpretation here??

EDIT 2: looks like it'll be reverted?

EDIT 3: They forcefully removed the commit. The repo is clean again.

TFW after the OS upgrade you're greeted with a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left corner of your screen, the computer seems unresponsive to all keystrokes except CTRl-ALT-DEL, so you login with ssh with your pocket computer (we all have ssh enabled, right? (if that didn't work you would've tried messing with Grub kernel command line to boot into a different run mode)) and checkout "journalctl -b" to see what failed, notice PAM seems unhappy about something which apparently caused the login program to crash, so you (no LLM) search for the error message and helpfully land on a post that describes the exact issue and how to get out of it, and you apply the arcane commands, reboot with login repaired, and consider this an uneventful OS upgrade.
