I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. Bandcamp Fridays is now very, very good. You don't know yet because all Bandcamp Friday bangers circulating today is from 2-3 sales ago. Bandcamp Fridays et al has solved infinite bangers.

still messin' with erik (synth prototype). random technical thread, so i'll open with a vid: as an experiment, all code runs once per '4 samples', at 16khz; the only data type is a float4 ie 4 samples in a row, or a single note: pitch, gate, sequence and sample no (think: tracker cell)

“Tech is inherently political” is not just about ideology, but about power, too. Yielding technological improvements to the adversary will have predictable outcomes. I’m really worried it will lock in power centralization in a way that will be impossibly hard to reverse. It’s already happening.

so I bought a PS3, bought many games for it, both online and single player. lost online, now they delete my account, and I lose access to everything because I didn't spend MORE of my money on their other hardware? and I have no legal way to play games I bought and paid for? noted :) #fucksony

tech demo: left joystick events are interpreted as a discrete signal, which controls the frequency (x) and volume (y) of a sine wave little clicks heard near are because there's no interpolation on inputs while we only have 7 bit joystick axis data :^) #rust #bevy #gamedev

We should be more brave on saying "Atmosphere Account" regardless of people understand it or not. Just like Fediverse bros did. Atproto can't be a common thing if people are too afraid to say it.

this is kinda so hype ngl I didn't realize there was so much that needed to go into all the routing logic for the UI/UX, but I think I've got most of the kinks worked out x.x that microchip has a closure wired up to it, and the wire colors indicate "types" in a sense ^^ #rust #bevy #gamedev

I love watching the UI freeze in my notes app because the export plugin is javascript and steals the thread for an inderterminate amount of time. Another export plugin struggles to parse nearly-empty files and then freezes when it encounters a jpg. I can't with javascript anymore.

I've been wondering why fedora lags to all hell for a few seconds every once in a while, nearly frozen - sometimes crashes. turns out firefox video decoding is kinda fucked on linux and has been for years? `top` reporting 200% CPU usage on RDD ☠️ discourse.ubuntu.com/t/enabling-a...

In this past year there has been work to make Firefox hardware decode video on Linux. Ubuntu 21.04’s switch to wayland luckily makes this feature more accessible and easier to enable. Benefits: Hard...

working with bevy is great because you can use the default plugins to get a prototype running, then fully cut out and replace them when they no longer suffice. I've completely replaced audio and input so far, because I'm doing fun audio/dsp things :3 #bevy #rust #dsp

my git commits are like a USB stick I use to share the most recent version of a project w/ many stacked changes - where I started to improve X, then Y begged for a refactor, which meant Z needed updating - and I also wanted to improve the makefile ergonomics, before finally getting back to X

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening

I'm getting kind of obsessed with atproto - like, I can just host my public content on my own server, and use nice interfaces like bsky.app to publish them in a certain way? blog posts with leaflet, code with tangled, all one protocol, and all stored as files I can look at in under /pds? fuck yes 😫
