Prediction: With increasing complexity, neither users nor manufacturers are going to be in control of their technology. Not users because of on-die-DRM, but not manufacturers either because even components of components will have an ARM core somewhere.
@Bernd Sehen die Kreise zufällig so aus? Die habe ich seit ich klein bin in quasi den gleichen Situationen https://mastodon.social/media/GtbypcpAS3-giMgJp4U
When the Voice found that she had spent nearly all of her words on creation, she locked the last of them away and has been silent since. Whole traditions of scholars have since been trying to guess these words, looking on mountaintops, under the earth, in stories, their own minds.
Some fear it, the End, afraid of the conclusion. But others want to bring it about, saying the words aren't fixed and She will one day return, read aloud the most pleasing of guesses, and creation will be complete.
some fragments:
Overhead, cloudjellies drift and snack on unwary birds.
billowing menger sponges
only the sensation of the glass below divides you from the sky
discarded sentences form a pile next to the manuscript, ferment
"those are cute paintings" - no, you don't understand, they came out of the camera that way
writing a network service called reserved, then registering its port
So you get impractical ideologies (Anarchism, I love you but...) and followers of that ideology who are really cool because they're trying to live it despite its impracticalities.
this is a good place to post off brand stuff I guess
Wherever an ideology places unreasonable demands on human nature, those of its adherents that are intellectually honest meet those demands disproportionally well. When utopianism and intellectual honesty combine, they combine either well or not at all.
"this is just a source of pseudorandomness" pssssh
a language of the stars, where the brightest star in your FOV is the beginning of the sentence, the next one's orientation determines the word to follow etc, and the story goes on for as long as you find new stars
this seemed obvious but I couldn't find it and nobody on birdsite has been trolled into splaining it to me yet
the class of geometric problems that can be solved by geometric tools constructed with compass and straightedge - based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomahawk_(geometry)
I've decided I won't set up automatic crossposting to this account, but there'll be some manual crossposting and maybe coding project updates. My microfiction has an atom feed anyway: https://www.synkretie.net/microfiction.atom
I write things and put them on the Internet. What's most popular is my microfiction (https://www.synkretie.net/microfiction.html) but there's also the occasional blogpost and piece of code.
I hope to make the lives of people around me better.
Identity is an illusion, there are no true selves.
Reminder: Most spinoff communities die to network effects within a short time. While there's often a hard core, it's usually not worth lurking. If your site's identity is "not that other site", you're letting yourself be defined by the other site and have roughly no chance of ever becoming independent.
It is for this reason that I'm skeptical about Mastodon, however I'll be happy to be proven wrong.
