We need to talk about Æon Flux.
I see a lot of people talking about fighting fascism or discussing #anarchy but no one seems to remember the icon that was Aeon.
I remember watching this episode "Thanatophobia" (S03E03) back in 1995 and this opening scene punched me in the face the same way 30 years later.
If you've not watched ÆonFlux I recommend it. I still hum this to myself all these years later.
It's anarcho-biopunk-core with #CyberPunk elements and much more.
Watching it today, I get the sense that the world depicted would incorporate collapse computing or #permacomputing.
See wiki.xxiivv.com/site/collapse_… and wiki.xxiivv.com/site/permacomp… for explanations courtesy of @neauoire for more info.
The stories and characters are nuanced, have extreme depth and surprising relevancy to our world 30 years later. It's required multiple viewings over decades to grasp it all and apply it to the context of the present.
It's worthy of a complete viewing every ten years.

Day 8 of #DecemberAdventure
I took a risk and sidequested today.
Guessed I came to a point where I need to do some narrative writing for my dungeon crawler and took the chance to look at ink script, some kind of markdown for interactive fiction. I ended up re-programming the BASIC version of the crawler in ink script. But it's really fun, like writing pseudo code, that can actually run.
The process helped me tremendously in figuring out how to interlock the two core mechanics with the narrative and create a game loop that progresses the player towards different ends. Now I need to fill in the details.
it's christmastime, and there's... good news?

For months I've been thinking to clear away and replant the spaces fenced off for the Green curtain. I got started a few days ago and the birds were quick to start enjoying the new dirt with fresh pickings, I guess there are a lot of worms and bugs and grubs for them along with any remaining green leaves..

It seemed like a crow didn't like all the hysterics either and tried to chase the falcon off for a while..
The Miyazaki Jidori fighting birds seem half-wild compared the silkies. They disappear into piles of brush, or flatten themselves under fallen branches.. fascinating..

Wanted to do something easy for #DecemberAdventure today.
Ended up updating the #uxn flake to the latest commits and also implemented a derivation for drifblim!
Though the assembler and the insanely long file paths that nix relies on do not mix, so the assembler is not viable to use in a derivation just yet.
Also, it depends on the uxn-sdl2 derivation and I would rather it be as detached as the other packages. There will probably be an attempt to build uxnmin with tcc for it, then implementing the bootstrap.
reason why i didn't do it today was that drifblim has a buffer of 3f set for i/o filepaths, while files of nix derivations are stored in folders with hashes for names, resulting in the seed rom throwing a path length err
link you posted was the reference i was going off of
should be fine if i just patch drifblim to have a bigger buffer for those, but that's for tomorrow, gotta be up in 6 hrs 
there's no drifblim in the link I posted, it uses drifloon, which works with uxnmin and takes a file content instead of a filepath. Uxnmin has no file device, and compiles well with tcc.

Over the weekend, the GreenPill podcast dropped this conversation I had with one of the governance technologists I admire most, former Taiwan digital minister Audrey Tang: pod.link/1609313639/episode/NW…
It is pretty sci-fi. But in times like these, sci-fi is at least part of what we need.
I don't trust people like that w.r.t. governance.

system 500 ( due to 500 services for the smalles Linux ever). However 500 by the romans was a D ( surprised?)
I always assume it was a French reference. "Système D" means that you make it as you can.
D is for "débrouille" implying lake of means and not the best results but a lot of ingeniosity (is it a word? Smart hacks) in the process.
