Wavespark III: tawa suno wasoweli

Considering making a boot-to #Picotron system, it is so cozy.
This one-button gravity flow game introduced me to Tiki Pona, a cozy constructed language.

Living in Finland is learning to appreciate contrast. Including weeks of no contrast.

A map of Helsinki's urban core. It shows which areas are in the shade on a clear day in mid-June. Hietaranta beach and Tรถรถlรถnlahti bay are highlighted with photos, since they are have some of the sunniest spots on the map.

#30daymapchallenge 17: A new tool
Helsinki enjoyed a grand total of 12 minutes of sunshine in November (1.โ€“13.11). No better time to remember that yes, the sun does still exists.

This map shows Helsinki's shadiest / sunniest places. New tool? #GRASSGIS solar modelling.

I imagine that the moves could make an interesting visualization. Every starting move is a branch, and there are local minima if you have the same initial moves.

Daily player via tktk! I'm in an early timezone, so I sometimes get the high score in the morning, to be taken away later. It's ok if someone improves on my moves to get it, but that should maybe be an asterisk on the high score? eg, if it is not their first run.

We were just discussing a different related issue with "code diff" as the center of focus in a pull request. It's hard to convey the high level, and the person making the PR has the most context. We decided to try making a "handoff loom" (screen-capture and walk-through) for non-trival PRs.

DVD menu authoring is one of those skills that I miss a little bit. I guess HTML image maps could fill the void.

Are there any body tracking computer vision thing for sports movements? One person? Groups?

"To serve is to offer something, a name, a website, a document, an idea โ€“something to be shared, something that connects us.

But who serves whom? Serving can be a painful experience. It is a relation that carries histories of gendered violence, histories of slavery, serfdom and oppression as we are taught by archives of resistance, black feminists and anti-colonial scholars.

This violence extends to the materialities of the earth which is made to
serve as resource, ready to be extracted for the minerals that make up the very chip that carries these thoughts as binary strings of information.

Serving does not have to manifest as violence if we insist otherwise. Serving can become an act of empowerment when we build infrastructures that serve the needs of local and remote communities evolving around situated knowledge of those around us โ€“ while keeping in mind privilege often determines who has access to a community and its resources.

The complexities of the internet with its corporate and state entanglements, its huge data centers, relentless data crawlers and transatlantic fibre cables can feel inevitable. To delink from time to time means to shift our focus back to the local networks and groups that we are already part of. We know that the internet is much more than its corporate occupants, it is about forming connections and sharing resources.

Independent,  selfmade networks remind us of the physical connections that are the base of all kinds of signal transmissions. Intimate networks that make us share and mitigate our vulnerabilities through trust and kinship. In the smallest scope, networks such as this ones."

I heard some Swedes borrow the Finnish "hรคn" (gender neutral) which is fun.
And Finns use "se" (it) for people in spoken language, which takes some getting used to.

How does EU naming regulation work? There isn't one word for "sausage" to ban on vegan products, does the regulation go into detail for every language? Are both vege "nakki" and "makkara" banned? Seems like big waste of time for everyone involved. Language is a living thing. (Sips oat latte.)

The print worked out well and it makes a nice body mod. The impression lasts about 15 minutes.
