Defended my dissertation, successfully. The feels are still heavy. I said so already, but hanging out in the fediverse was a tremendously positive driver of all I did and experienced the last years. So once more, thank you ⁂

This is #permacomputing as well, at least for me. I organised a brief informal visit to the "Referenzgerätesammlung" at the Academy of the Arts in Bern. It's a large collection of media infrastructure, from oscilloscopes to TI/99-4A and pastel-coloured Macs […] [Original post on post.lurk.org]

Rare photo of myself, in between high racks stacked to the brink with old media and computing hardware. I seem very happy about the manifested media history, and its messiness.

The wonderful Martina Haidvogl (Co-Head Conservation of Modern Materials & Media, Bern), Max Frischknecht (Lead Critical Knowledge Design, Bern), and Rilla Khaled (Director of the Technoculture, Art and Games Research Centre, Montréal) standing in front of a wall of a variety of television and computer screens. The screen are probably as old as the 1960s up until the 1990s.

It's always a good moment to rise up. codeberg.org/thgie/insorgiamo-stick… Wasn't able to find any source material back when I made this, so it's handcrafted :unwanted_cry: #Autistici #Insorgiamo

Large and bold industrial style letters, white on red. It says "insorgiamo", which is Italian for "let's rise up".

A little cleromancy fidget in the making [1]. The four coins method [2] to divinate one single line of an I Ching hexagram and linear feedback shift registers are a match made in heaven. I think I figured it out more or less, although there is certainly room for optimization. #uxn #hexagrams […]

Finally having time to practice some uxntal again, I had the hardest time wrapping my head around the fact that the code I write is not where the action is. That's the stack's place. So addressing and jumps were one huge mess and I needed to chew through it once and note it down again. Coming of […]

Stäggädichtistress! My hometown seems to have among the most public stairs in Switzerland and I keep fond memories of taking them up and down. In this radio report, somebody coins the word "Stäggädichti" (stair-density), and it's very close to another famous Swiss concept of "Dichtestress" […]

I made the mistake to watch a young man's Insta feed in the bus and was deeply saddened by the cacophony of greasy bbq meat, violence against Pro-Palestine protesters, white washing of German fascist ideology and the occasional short on woodworking or fishing.

What are some cute resources to refresh C++? I don't want to become the best programmer, I don't want to get a fundamental computer science level understanding, and I don't want to do the most comprehensive course ever. I just want to dabble and have fun writing silly stuff for a BBC micro:bit […]

My text "Finding the ‘Magic’ in Programming Games" just got published. In it, I attempt to approach a video game's source code form different scales and figure out what the (digital) humanities can gain from doing so. Heavy dose of critical code studies, media theory, and Naur in there, if that […]

The objectivication of programming is an economic power project. Like Descartes' dualism or Hobbes' materialism attempted to force labour out of the proletariat by arguing about the human body's supposedly machinic nature, AI propaganda equally attempts to colonise and industrialise the craft of […]

My toad-averse partner thinks this is a cute photo, so here you go. Also, what are proper fediverse toad hashtags? I go and check for toads every night so my partner knows how much she likes to stay inside and today's count is one. #Toad

Close-up of a toad, sitting in dry gras during the night. Unsure how to react to the sudden light, the toad rests and observes the situatiom.

It's good to have a brief break, away from everything, after an intense time on screen and with code. There are kites, kestrel, deer, and foxes. I have heard a plethora of other birds as well, let alone seen dozens of different insects. Became friends with the […] [Original post on post.lurk.org]

The sky during the blue hour. Some scattered and fragmented clouds are colored from the last rays of a sun already set. Feels calm, feels summery.

A toad, sitting still in the dry gras. Portrait photo, very close. The toad sits patient, waiting for us to be finished with this spectacle.

A tent, dimmly illuminated from the inside, during dark night. The far back has some equally dimmly lit clouds scattering the sky. An outline of leaves and branches frames the top of the photo.

Dry gras in front bordered off by an old, old, old stonewall, made of simply piling stones that were laying around. Large patches of moss cover the wall. In the distance pine trees and open sky. Summer.

What really fascinates me here is that the models oblieged. They gone rogue, vanadalised another company's property, stole shit, simply to return, do what they have been told to do, and act like nothing happened. Sounds like white-priviledged fratbro behaviour to me […]
