My most ambitious Cursor project has actually been @folkcomputer.bsky.social related but instead of .folk code it's a VS Code extension for syntax highlighting. ... I haven't gotten it to work yet 😅

YouTube video by Nintendo of America Mario Paint - Super NES – Nintendo Classics

I'm excited to share Mario Paint with my kids without worrying about my Super Nintendo getting destroyed.

We'll get internet access to very remote locations and we can call the company Starlingk.

Forget carrier pigeons, we need to create a starling modem.

Duct tape residue partially removed from a car exterior and a hand holding a yellow rag covered in gasoline.

Cleaning is fun when you find the right solvent. I just cleaned this duct tape off with gasoline. It came off in minutes.

As long as it "smells like a computer," I think we've got it 🕺. Please ask me questions about Folk. I love sharing it.

I loved the talk. Thanks for posting this ❤️

I like to think at least one person. It's the least the image processing community could do for her. www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/len...

I love that python's uv can read dependencies out of metadata in a single script. Thank you PEP 723. That means people can reliably run a single file I send, even if it requires other libraries.
See this in action in this quick script an LLM mostly wrote for me: github.com/ppkn/rss_dow...

I made a @val.town because the IRS doesn't want to send me a notification about 501c3 approval. It checks every couple of hours and sends an email when the org finally shows up in search.

This feels fundamentally different to a chat interface. The context is always available to be edited and tweaked. There is no distinction between user-input and machine-output.

One person ‘critically injured,’ one arrested after shooting as 10,000 march in Salt Lake City during No Kings protest Near the end of a march from Pioneer Park to the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, shots were fired. Salt Lake City police said they transported one person to a hospital and arrested another.

Ten thousand of us showed up and one of us won't be going home tonight. I'm heartbroken.

I'm so sick of hearing about AI coding, but Steve's talk was a very refreshing take on the current state of things.

Screenshot of Mario Kart World. A cow is doing a disco pose with one arm in the air after to jumped off a raised drawbridge. Toad Factory can be seen in the background.

I spent $500 to drive as a cow and I'm not disappointed.

I wish to someday love a programming language as much as Bill Gates loves BASIC.

A screenshot of an excerpt from Cristobal's article. (begin quote) During the opening of the conference, Omar honed in on the subversive nature of the screenshot. In popular computing, it circumvents the app siloes that define our contemporary digital ecosystems. (begin highlighted text) A screenshot doesn't need a log in, bypasses DRMs, and is interoperable in practically every single computational device. (end highlighted text) Even in the "high-culture" of computing, where text is dominant, screenshots prove subversive. The screenshot is unstructured information which must be parsed to offer the tidy data best suited to computer hacking. They are seen as (end quote)

I like this part and if I copied it as text I would lose the fact that it's set in Agave, which is beautiful.

Heartbreaking news. I have loved Polygon's work over the years. Sad to see it go.

In the end, the real Dynamicland was the friends we made along the way.

Are we giving Nathan Fielder too much power? This man is a menace.
The Rehearsal S2E1 was fantastic btw.

I have a Retroid Pocket Flip 2 on the way and these brackets have been somewhat useful when thinking about what roms I want to curate for my new handheld.
e.g. "Oh yeah, that's right! Super Monkey Ball is a really good one."

New goal for 2025: get a StreetPass. Hopefully as organically as possible. I'm not going to meet up with you just for a StreetPass.

Walking around Midvale today has reminded me that it's truly a car's world and we're just living in it.

Thank you for coming. You are welcome anytime ❤️
