bluesky finally supports gifs?!

it's wrapping the semantics of C into a more readable form - going in more of the Lua/Python direction with the clear naming and explicit nature. as well as built-in things like dynamic lists, etc

oh my god!! when did they add that?!

Anything. Quite literally. It's C but as a scripting language

LMAO I didn't realise it captured Charlie's stream I was watching too. Ignore the audio in the video.

IF ONLY BLUESKY SUPPORTED GIFS

3 years ago I had an idea to make a metaprogramming language that would utilize TCC's near-instant compile times to also act as a scripting language.

last night I finally realized the final piece to make it work...
it's Python-like, via a macro-abstraction.

Yes, this is a public conversation on a public post. There's no reason to act dismissive.

Yeah my point was around how there are many Unity/Adobe users out there that want to use something else but haven't had a strong enough mental push to convince them.
I just feel more people need to know they CAN learn new tools, and it will actually benefit them in the long run.

how so? I can't control who comments, but my point was from a place of love - I want the best for people.

basically what loam said:
bsky.app/profile/loam...
use tools made by people who actually care.

it's either Stockholm Syndrome, thinking you're incapable, or being stuck in your comfort zone.
in truth they're shackles made of smoke, and you just need to allow yourself to explore to realise how capable and skilled you really are.
seek failure, and you will be left with only answers.

please for the love of all things good have higher standards for the tools you use.
stop using Unity, stop using Adobe tools, stop being complicit and actually support tools made by people who care about the tools and the customers.
please, it's getting to the point where I'm genuinely worried.

Nightdive just announced System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster!
been working hard on it, and I can't wait for people to enter the Von Braun again!

lmao

I've gotten to the point where I'm convinced that anyone who justifies using humanoid robots has premeditated ways to justify human slavery.
There is no reason whatsoever that a robot has to be humanoid, it's completely redundant, and only facilitates those who wish humans were more controllable.

I'm sick of 2024, I wish it was the next year alread- oh hey

your ability to learn dramatically improves when you seek how not to do something: every failure and mistake leads to more correctness.
drawing a circle requires not drawing a not-circle.

try to enjoy knowing how to do something via knowing how not to do it~

onwards to 2025

mmmm gradient

it feels good to connect with nature

a reminder that it is possible to sit in a random river

if you're strong enough to pull out a 7ft steel pole out of the ground, yeah!

ground skewers

yeah exactly, it's things like that which hold me back

allegro is what inspired me to make my own C-abstraction and library, I just love how simple it all is

people have been saying "just use videos!" but like... I don't want to. why can't they just support uploaded gifs?

doesn't feel the same :(

bluesky... please... I need gifs before I can justify being here more...

people deeply underestimate the power of fearmongering and propaganda.

I've finally proven that my stupid dream is possible, and I believe this is just the start.
I will continue to pursue the optimization of the math that describes reality, and will always make it free and accessible.
This is my promise, and one of the marks I want to leave.
