I made StumpWM work on Debian! All it took was:
- Installing package for StumpWM.
- Forcefully removing package for clx with dpkg.
- Building StumpWM from source w/ ql (surprisingly easy!)
- And replacing Debian-provided binary with the compilation result.
That was tough, but fun. And I like how anarchic Debian is, with any binary replaceable and patchable in place!
Huge thanks to @PuercoPop for the pointer on old clx version! Maybe I should contribute a newer one to Debian? 🤔

Hey hey! Another agrivoltaics study shows that crop yields from fields where plants share space with vertical photovoltaics are the same as, or perhaps a bit higher, than yields from similar fields but without the solar generating infrastructure. There's, like, a handful of these now, at least. This one's from Sweden.
Link to publicly available study is in the article.

i sort of feel like any intersection including cis men, can experience misogyny. The main variables are not what identities and groups you factually belong to; but whether the axis of proximity to womanhood is being used to oppress and bully you.
Which is what happens when a cis man fails to perform masculinity in exactly the acceptable way and gets called a “bitch” a “cock sucker”, a “pussy” or “emotional”.
it’s the very proximity to femininity that is the weapon being used, and I would call that misogyny no matter who it is being used on

it seems i can repeat my own advice to others but cannot follow it myself.
you cannot force emotional or personal catharsis--it more or less dawns on you like an epiphany.
in my case i stress myself out so much that i am under such great tension that i become very very upset--sometimes to the point of serious mental illness.
i think the results of my month-long research into the blog posts i want to produce are now mature. they form a loosely related triptych:
an investigation of the internals of abrahamic religions--judaism, christianity, and islam. i approach the topic from a philosophical perspective, not an historical one.
an investigation of the coincidence between religion and social and political power. putting aside the internal coherence of religion, i want to know: why do people turn to the supernatural in order to ground their sense of social belonging?
finally: a nice, rigorous treatment on 'platonism'. when i was in grad school, i had no choice but to study in the tradition of anglo-american analytic philosophy, where everyone is scrambling to be the loudest and most devout enemy of 'platonism'. so the unwritten/unspoken convention dictates, you had better praise david hume, skeptical empiricism, or give up on an academic career altogether. a bizarre, lobotomised form of kant is as radical or exotic as one is allowed to get. frankly, i am disgusted by these attitudes and i don't care who hears it.
hope you're all well 🙏
Anyone doing any retro programming? I'm wondering if anyone has a line clipping algorithm that is efficient on a 68000.
Given start and end coordinates, I'd like to clip it horizontally or vertically nor both, to a window (specifically within 320 by 200 since I'm on an Atari ST).
The way I'm doing it now requires a bit too many divisions, which are horribly slow on a 68000.
did you know that we are but 10 days away from the start of the autumn lisp game jam?? warm up your repl, mix in some mulling spices, and let's hack! https://itch.io/jam/autumn-lisp-game-jam-2024 #lisp #gamejam
Reminder: all Libreboot machines are currently on a heavy discount, on Minifree:
I'm the founder and lead developer of the Libreboot project. Sales fund Libreboot. Libreboot (preinstalled) is free/opensource firmware replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on supported hardware. I did a release recently, namely Libreboot 20241008.
Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or a BSD.
I'm raising money for some planned work in November, hence price cut going for increased sales.
By the way, #lispyGopherClimate at 000UTC Wednesday on https://anonradio.net:8443/anonradio will be us going through the #emacsconf2024 schedule while hanging out in #lambdaMOO. If you are on or interested in that, drop by and *chatter in Paradise Sushi in tinytown in https://lambda.moo.mud.org/ . A reminder that wrog's #mud client protocol #emacs mode is over here -> https://wrog.net/emacs/mud-mcp_2_0.el
Which will also be the textual live Q&A base for me at the conference! So you may as well get started now (tomorrow).

I wrote a small informational readme about my attempt to realise running #commonLisp images as #lambdaMOO compatible realities mostly via #mcclim's command (= MOO verb) mechanism.

every time i try and help someone it ends up in me being treated like a fool from which to parasite.
maybe i am a fool for thinking kindness is not a weakness.
feeling pretty used and invisible right now. no-one i know seems to care about me beyond what they can get out of me.
disgusting.
wow, gosh, really? it was fake the whole time? who could have guessed it! you mean a billionaire would just do that, lie for profit?
