I've been a coding mentor, but I've never had a coding mentor :/

I wrote a thing about hauntology, technology and gaming. I worry about the things we are building: https://benjamin.computer/posts/2019-05-13-hauntology.html

Lucas Pope can seemingly do no wrong.

I really want to make a digital art installation for EMF Camp 2020, but how can I compress Mark Fisher's ideas such as Hauntology, the perils of neoliberalism, the ideas of you being the product and finding the best in technology not retreating, into a single art piece? :S Really tricky.

Normalisation is a real problem

Fucks sake! Getting a working CUDA Singularity or Docker image that works with Mozilla Deepspeech is a right pain!

I reckon these Amiga Demos and the PC 8Ks were the ones to watch at Revision 2019.

Writing a little C++ after many years. Like an old friend, but I wonder what has changed in the meantime? No doubt I'm doing something old and outdated

THE MACHINE KNOWS OF THE TEAPOT!

Can anyone help me with v4l2loopback please? Having real trouble piping one video device to another with gstreamer. Lots of errors, even with Ubuntu LTS :/

Anyone out there familiar with v4l2loopback? I really need to process video from my webcam and spit it out to another virtual device? Halp pleeeeeaaaase! :)

I'm so bored of Avengers, Hollywood and openworld games. They all forgo proper meaning, roleplay or connection by making everyone super human with no flaws (or very few that are believable) with stakes that are too large and grand to be relatable.

Spent far too long debugging my latest neural net so to save you all time, here are some hints! :)

Fucking Bishop Berkeley nonsense talking fucking twat! ><

Is it possible to still get really REALLY angry with a person from the 17th Century? Yes, yes it is!
