the practice many browsers have adopted of truncating URLs in the address bar to the hostname is emblematic of the decline and commercially driven infantilization of the web.

understanding URLs — their roles and the ways and whys of how they are constructed — was an elementary skill of the original view-source web.

hiding complete URLs encourages people to become ignorant consumers of mysterious information services, rather than informed participants in a public forum.

We already have 1,000 would-be Mozarts who instead of learning music and honing their skills are doing shit jobs for shit wages. They're spending their time just surviving instead of blessing the rest of us with music we'd love.

What these would-be Mozarts need is basic income.

Do you enjoy minigames in games, assuming you can't fail them and or they're not mandatory?

I was just informed that the Guardian is prepping to do a story on DIY HRT and is looking to interview trans folk, particularly teens.

The story will almost certainly be weaponized by conservatives to argue for removing access to the necessary materials.

Just like with the police, anything you say can and will be used against you by mainstream media.

Be safe out there fam

@LunaFoxgirlVT i'm so freaking happy you put all this into words.

its so much unseen effort, and everyone expects it from you so you can't stop even when you really really need or want to, masking is hard and social interaction is confusing and abstract. :/

Some landscape renders made with Bryce 3D come by on Mastodon this week and it reminded me of the first landscape renderer I used: VistaPro.

It was was one of many DOS programs on the "Virtual Reality Madness" compilation disc from 1993. VistaPro also came out on Amiga and Mac OS, and later Windows.

VistaPro (v1.01) didn't give you much control but the results looked stunning then, if you allowed your computer to render the highest quality image for a few hours that is.

Did you know? I curate a gallery of procedural artworks by various demosceners — each piece was rendered by an executable program no larger than 4096 bytes:

@njion you just reminded me of that video where a guy REWRITTEN AND OPTIMIZED ALMOST ALL OF THE SM64 CODE so it runs at some insane frame rate at original hardware
