Heck. Mosquito wires. :dragngrimace:

@calcifer @mdhughes

"I want to fix the perception problem, not reinforce it" is a really important stance for lots of things, and I wish more people would take it.

But is there *actually* a house in New Orleans they call the "Rising Sun"? :dragnthink:

Object oriented code was a mistake.

Whoever designed this bit of my company's code base must've thought they were being paid by the class.

It's a kind of theft, really.
Programming is magic. We are wizards for knowing it. We should be summoning daemons, calling things up by their true names, touching the source. We should be wanderers, like Ged or Gandalf, transforming the world around us in subtle and powerful ways as we move through it.

Somehow, this vision of our role was stolen from us in favor of business casual and "disrupting" industries.

What I really want to see is a model where the local software is like a VR web browser, only it loads virtual spaces instead of websites - and the virtual spaces live on servers in the form of a plaintext something-or-other on par with HTML - or at least some kind of easily-modifiable open format - so that anyone can make their own VR spaces that are browser-agnostic.

Maybe somebody out there is already working on this?

The hard part is, how the heck do you handle multiple people interacting in the same space? The actual Web wasn't really built for that sort of thing and doesn't have a good general solution to copy...

I'm still waiting for the decentralized, federated, open source alternative to VRChat.

Sounds about right, and... sounds about right. :/

I want a cat large enough to sleep on top of.
