My toy software rendering now with more textures, fog, and dithering. Making a polygon based map editor has proven to be more difficult than my "toy" ambitions are driving. Gotta do graph algorithms... blegh.

Enough playing for now, back to some real work!

good thing I just hosed my power button with contact cleaner, I won't be depending on a bluetooth controller to turn on my deck for a while.

(Why are microswitches so bad? Why is the most unreliable switch also the most critical one and hardest to get at?)


in reply to Muse

Yes! We must always encourage one another and remember that we are our brother's keeper.

Multiply that cat by three and you're at my house.

@Rod Mesa Yeah, but aren't they lovely toasty during the winter months! ❤


Witch hazel. I always just enjoy these blossoms. It's nice that they come so late in the year. #Bloomscrolling

The de-Googled @murena Fairphone 6 is now available in the US. I have been a tester and the team has done an amazing job making this thing sparkle. It's an easy way to move to fair-trade hardware & user-centered software.

@kerfuffle On my FF4 I ended up buying a new battery after like 4 years when it stopped being spectacular. With the FF6, it is spectacular. I'm a heavy phone user and the battery is usually like 70% at the end of the day.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

@kerfuffle That is my experience too (writing this on a Fairphone 6 at 74% battery in the evening when it was last charged last night). The battery is in theory replaceable too although I don't know whether it is as easy to get spare parts in the US as in Europe (based on a look at the Murena online store).

Similarly to Linux users, Tasmanian devils are solitary, nocturnal creatures for whom the term "distribution" can be a touchy subject.

The Tor Project announced its annual State of the Onion event, done in two parts, the first on 12 November and the second on 10 December.

I've watched them for the last few years and they are great. Informative, well-prepared reports about impressive projects, all very much grounded in what is happening on and to the internet right now.

I love photos like this. There’s nothing going on, really, someone just saw her and said “Oh she's SO PRETTY. I have to take a picture.” From my collection, 1959.


Very worth reconsidering.
Nevertheless, we are coming to a point where the US needs to
a) start a federal government in absentia
b) have a Constitutional Convention

in reply to Muse

Puerto Rico should be a state - but not Alberta.

in reply to Muse

"A Constitutional Convention would not work-out the way most people would want."

I believe that happens every presidential election. Particularly when the president gets in with a minority public vote.



I'm a big fan of Fable the raven. This is just a short of her being particularly chatty.
