had a day dream about a game where you copy and paste some machine-generated information into an email to play some kind of really slow MMO
i think my pleroma is doing the thing where it processes my follow requests all at once every now and then
Now that I've really got into bash programming and self hosting, I'm kinda tempted to do an audio blog. Could call it Chris Hear.
It’s done! Much more effort than I anticipated but it turned out nicely, if I may say so myself. Very pleased with it. Video coming soon! #SNEStoration #Nintendo #SuperNintendo #SNES

Article in which I show simple multiple inheritance and method qualifiers in ANSI common lisp's common lisp object system, then show how the McCLIM implementation of the common lisp interface manager 2 specification turns the objects I was working with into rich general user interfaces with a minimal declarative effort presupposing that I was presenting lisp objects.
Rich interfaces pervade lisp's history.

What if I tacked into the COSMAC VIP or COSMAC Elf?
This could be a good route for exploration for the @permacomputer project.
I have been watching people build clones of the VIP, replete with its calculator-esque limited keyboard.
Practically, what this would look like would be games written in CHIP-8 in its virtual machine language.

I'm no expert, but I think I did a pretty decent job on this power supply routing.
Which means someone smarter than me will tell me how I fucked it up in about five... four... three...
Here is a new proposal on how to include OpenPGP signatures in HTML documents and verify them from the browser itself:
https://dillo-browser.org/rfc/006-signatures-html/
It shouldn't be too hard to implement in #Dillo and offload the verification to an external program like GnuPG.

💭what if I make a minimalist browser that focuses exclusively on user scripts, user styles, and adblock rules? Other features can be derived:
• Keybindings (vi, Emacs, APL keyboard—take your pick) can be added with user scripts
• Browser settings can be chosen at startup or compile time, maybe read from a config, but that’s too much complexity for such a browser idea
• Extensions & configs: unnecessary. All you do in a browser is interacting with the web, and user scripts/styles fix that just fine.
• Tabs can be replaced with opening multiple instances of a browser as separate windows
• UI/chrome is unnecessary, all you need is a window into the Web
What I’m striving for is something like Suckless Surf, but
• without Suckless
• without C
• with actually working user scripts/styles
• maintained (even if by myself)
I remember someone mentioning their Scheme/MacOS browser called Prism? I think, but I don’t have references for that anymore. The difference with that would be that Prism config file was Turing complete. Mine won’t be.

I'm laughing hysterically whenever they fling one of the puppets across the screen. It's so good
