@theruran lol i sat on a cheap wooden IKEA chair for years until i got another chair this year
what am i, some sort of ascetic monk???
@vidak You could be interested in reading my browser-dev blog...
I'm not sure what else right off...
@alcinnz do you have anything more i could read?
i might dabble in this area for a bit, personally i dislike HTML's syntax
@alcinnz could you elaborate a little further, if you have time?
what would you remove?
i am discovering all the time that i am re-inventing the wheel 😅😂
@ftg thank you for such a helpful response.
i have purchased some MC6847s just to play around with for now while i refamiliarise myself with physically constructing digital electronics
was also informed about don lancaster's cheap video cookbook, which i am currently stepping through and is proving useful
it is my hope i will be able to design the simplest circuit possible for composite video output, so that when i try and popularise the permacomputer project further, people will be able to join in along by themselves.
neocities is really one of the best things on the web, embodying so much of the spirit of what it means to use hypertext
makes me think if the solution to leaving web is to 'do a gemini' but for HTML--deliberately designing a protocol that is incompatible with the worst parts of HTML.
it's not altogether that difficult--just look at the simplicity of the gemini RFC
just wondering about it--from memory, most of the coding back during the geocities/myspace era was probably just copying and pasting little snippets here and there
i suppose the methodical way would be to step through the HTML5 standard and removing every element that contradicts our requirements
anyway, food for thought...
- all the BASIC media resources required to make an educational series are ready
- i am reactivating the people's @permacomputer project
- need to add the rest of the blog posts to vidak.solarpunk.au
I call this meeting of the Shadowy Cabal of Consumer Enshittification to order. Welcome to our new member Number Seven.
Uh, hi. Wait, is that really what SCCE stands for. That’s unbelievable.
We know, it makes our job so much easier that people who try to blow the whistle on our existence sound like cranks. Number One Emeritus, who crafted our brand, is a marketing genius.

Intel ME? How about Intel YOU?
Yes, you.
Sorry, this was in my head and I needed to dump it somewhere.
New Libreboot release coming soon
Was recently reminded about this glorious moment in time: A real-time-turn-based-play-by-e-mail-hybrid by the tactics master himself, Julian Gollop. Never seen anything like it since. Anyone remember playing this? It’s not quite retro gaming yet, so not sure how to hashtag it… 😅 #JulianGollop #LaserSquad

sometimes i wonder, do we even need an operating system?
to this day we still ignore the obvious: that general purpose computing is frequently not needed for every computing domain.
anyway i still think every language should use block scope like python because fucking fuck

... ok bye
Mistodon: I'd say that this #PLAYSCII piece by @piaille.fr@/yenenpeuplou, released a year ago in the MIST1121 artpack, was prophetic, but really when has resistance been bad advice in our lifetimes? Instead I'll say we post this to commemorate the recent death of #BASIC co-inventor #ThomasEKurtz.
