I grabbed a banglejs a while back for cheap embedded funzies, and it’s really stellar as a hackable companion device that you don’t use much, or at least in fairly passive or niche ways. Espruino is really cool though, and that’s the heart of the project.

I wonder how this compares as a higher-end (maybe only other?) FOSS watch, mostly on the battery/power ratio. I actually don’t know much about the pebble design.

That’s four hills, brother

Blasphemy! Pics or it didn’t happen! Wait…

It looks to me like the cat would have to be stuffed into the pocket, so there’s that. There might be an opening on the other end to crawl through though.

Trying to remember the sound of the recording because I’ll never get over how “I moved on her like a bitch” does not read the way he intended

Initially: Thank god we can finally stop pretending Trump is a real candidate

Moments later: Oh, oh no

Ten years later: What what what oh shit oh fuck

They always reminded me of paper snowflakes and I genuinely can’t recall ever having a name for them… Maybe “people streamer” is what I would say if I ever had to describe them. Even that phrase feels made up on the spot lol

So uh, happy… anniversary… I guess?

Was gonna say “not anymore” to keep the joke going, but if you think about it, it’s created as one and was never multiple to begin with. Huh, maybe we’ve needed to human centi-sleeve for the good of human unity all along??

Pure math, finite automata, math rock, analog synthesis, knitting (in my demographic), video games from before we knew modern UI and game design… to be fair, none of these communities are non-existent, but they’re pretty niche even among my weirdo friends.

Sometimes I need to re-pair, but generally it works for me as long as my phone is on wifi. Or bluetooth? I think I had that working alongside a VPN but it was touchy.

Exactly. We’re already bootstrapping, re-tooling, and improving the entire process of development to the best of our collective ability. Constantly. All through good, old fashioned, classical system design.

Like you said, a lot of people don’t even put that to use, and they remain very effective. Yet a tiny speck of AI tech and its marketing is convincing people we’re about to either become gods or be usurped.

It’s like we took decades of technical knowledge and abstraction from our Computing Canon and said “What if we didn’t use that anymore?”

I’m honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn’t true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.

I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I’d like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.

I’ve been eyeing Guix for a while but haven’t jumped in yet. Honestly, I feel like I’m finally getting comfortable with nixos and flakes over the years. There’s quite a bit of un/relearning to do, and I can’t tell if the flow of Guix’s channels/inferiors would match the ease of composability that I like with flakes. The lock system really does it for me and I don’t like the idea of hunting down refs to pin manually or maintaining my own frankenstein repo (other than my config).

That said, I do use emacs and actually like lisp, so I’m torn right now.

Was about to bring up the pagers cause that’s literal state sanctioned terrorism any way you look at it. It’s still surprisingly unsurprising that we’re cool with it.

Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.

Lmao I have and just forgot about it apparently
