@cblgh "we have increasingly come to understand that GUIs hide the systems that drive that production, and by extension, the labor to maintain and sustain them."

:moar:

We've been sprouting microgreens for food consistently for the past two years.

We've tried all sorts of methods, cloths that rot, and stainless mesh over canning lids. But the soft canning lid eventually rusts and stains the sprouts black, which huh, not great.

A Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for #uxn!
Takes an hour to render the mandelbroth, haha.

Growth is sluggish,
but ruin is rapid.

@aw the best help I've ever found, that you might appreciate, is the Jupiter Ace book, there are PDFs of it around, it's full of fun examples and very clear documentation. It helped me tremendously.

@aw when I began learning forth, I did a big call for graphical forth applications examples, I wanted to see how folks did it. I got tons of people sending C games that used forth as a scripting language for dialogs, a few waybackmachine pages that showed forth-made graphical projects that ran on now vanished versions of forth, I was surprised too, but don't let that discourage you :)

@aw @technomancy ✊

@metasyn web client yeah, I couldn't possibly download the application.

Once I had downloaded the initial payload, where stuff started to show up, I did a couple of refreshes and after 10-15 minutes of that I managed to send messages, and 5 more refresh later I could see what people were saying.

I used slack today, it has been a year or two since I last had to, it took about 45 minutes to download the initial payload. I let it download the assets over breakfast, eventually purple bars started to show up, I just can't believe of they fucked up chat so bad.

I'm dreading the next time someone asks me for a "quick chat"

@evan Gosh, "remember VR", so true. I hadn't looked at it this way, "in a few years your code will be on the blockchain" haha

@aw they are?! damn, that's depressing.

yikes

@aw Oh wow! I hadn't tried that one. It's like "inspect" <3

@aw he made something that rivals Ace Forth, and I think he built it in like.. a week. I'm just floored..

Felix Winkelmann implemented a standard #forth, in #uxn.

It works amazingly well, it even supports the full Varvara APIs, so it can be used to draw shapes and play music!

@penny of course :) this goes without saying ^^. We've mastered using the web with no bandwidth at this point.

"You have reached your 250mb roaming limit, we'll throttle your internet plan from 20kb/s to 18kb/s"

Huh, okay.

UNLIMITED SLOW ROAMING INTERNET :moar:

@calutron "how about we use that artists' style, but not pay that artist" :level2:

It has been a whole year since I've began only ever using a text editor of my own making.

It has changed a quite a bit since its first incarnation, but finally settling for an editor that I could hack at whenever it annoyed me was a pretty positive experience.

If you're ever considering doing something like that, this website has been an excellent resource for ideas: https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
