By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), Gravemarker Moon, 1886, color woodblock print. As a print, it appears in many collections, both public and private. This image is from the British Museum, London. #arthistory #art #printmaking #woodblockprints #japaneseart

From the University of Oregon, The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints: “The old woman seated on the fallen grave marker is the celebrated beauty and poetess Ono no Komachi (9th century). Komachi lost her beauty, position, and wealth, but after wandering destitute for many years, gained enlightenment.”

One of Komachi’s poems:

“The autumn night
is long only in name—
We’ve done no more
than gaze at each other
and it’s already dawn.”

9.3 Solarpunk Presents: Appropedia & Appropriate Technology with Felipe Schenone

Have you ever heard of appropriate technology? It's all about the type of technology that is accessible to most people regardless of their expertise, from its creation to its use and repair, inclusive and appropriate for various environments. The website Appropedia is a wiki-style repository of knowledge with more than 4,000 projects detailed on the site, each relating to sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion. The articles emphasize DIY utility and teach visitors how to understand each project, rather than presenting technologies that the end user, not being a specialist, isn't sure how they work, how to replicate them, or how to repair them, and instead are simply told to buy in order to 'keep up' with technological progress. Appropedia is all about technology built with justice. How cool is that? We also have a segment testing a few solarpunk tech ideas for appropriateness just to get a better sense of how the definition can be applied!

"So what can we do? This magazine is filled with ideas. Raise your eyes from the computer or smartphone or TV screen; stop arguing whether Rust or Go or whether Emacs or Vim or whether Mac or Windows. We urge you, reader of these lines, to rediscover the arts; to visit a nearby museum (even if not related to computers); to read a full book of your choice; to care for your burned-out colleague; to sit in front of a cup of coffee with that good old friend you have not met in ages; to spend more “quality time” (what an atrocious moniker, really) with your close family members."

the way to deal with this kind of bullshit safely, by the way, is to open an entirely new tab, type in the domain of the website by yourself (so you *know* that it's the real site) and log into it there, then close that tab and click the link in the e-mail again

if it's a legitimate link, it'll now just lead you to the logged-in part of the site because you already have a session. if it still gives you a login page, it's probably a phishing page

(this method is more reliable than "looking at the domain" because eg. lookalike characters can't fool you this way)

so, yeah, we just added CLI parameter support to Evocation

it's not finished yet as a feature, we want to also make it include files by name, but it does the basic thing

it was nice and easy to code, we could have done it ages ago, it's just we were waiting to be sure we know what design we want. fortunately our thoughts from the thread about it last week have settled in our head, and we feel like we know, now.

The disease of systems thinking is to be aware that this is the real problem while everyone else is talking about what a shithead the pilot was.

Hostile agents are a given. Their ability to do damage is a symptom. They are not themselves the problem.

I tooted the other day about creating a #dungeon crawler #solitaire game played on a standard deck (+ joker, a defacto standard, fight me). Here is an advanced pre-alpha "screenshot" of the starting position for the game. The left 5 columns consist the level grid, the three cards in the top right are hit points, the aces represent weapon, dungeon and character level. Beneath that are the deck, discard and corpse pile, the latter 2 being empty. The joker in the upper left corner is the player.
