no sarcasm, no double meaning, i think php (and by extension cgi) is a fantastic language for making server-generated web pages. that is all

@clyde yes yes yes i have churned through this entire thing in my brain for AGES i think i have a good idea for how i want it to work

i found out that the color distance i've used for the longest time (i.e. in github.com/Lana-chan/maples-re) is completely unsuitable for this kind of thing and gone into a rabbit hole about how best to dither things (<3 atkinson)

unfortunately putting ideas to paper (or code as the case may be) is an incredibly painstaking process for me

@clyde fuckkk i was thinking for years about making a real-time palettizer program

you might just push me to it, but don't expect me to release anything any time soon lol

i have Thoughts and Feelings about dithering

if you use small screen for small purchases and big screen for big purchases, what are you buying on a tablet?

the traceroute simply never reaches the hosts, it simply times out. and i don't feel like dealing with customer support but it's been weeks without codeberg access now bleh

my ISP is randomly blocking (knowingly or through a technical fault) access to certain IPs. a few days ago i noticed codeberg. now the onion. they load fine if i switch to mobile data

The thing about copyright is, like, if you just think about it for a moment, these two situations are completely different:

- Sony releases a game with music it downloaded off SoundCloud without ever contacting the musician
- A high schooler makes a Sonic fan game that reuses music from Sonic Adventure 2

And yet our current conception of copyright insists that these are equivalent and should be handled by the same rules.

Even if you think copyright should exist this form of it is nonsense.

vrchat has an even higher barrier of entry to living (not just existing) in a digital world than second life has. second life is a hundred fold easier to build an environment and avatar to suit you with built in tools. in vrchat you either need to learn contrived unity workflows and complicated 3d modelling or pay someone to do it for you

the hurdle to properly enjoying vrchat isn't one only of hardware (either pcvr or even more expensive standalone vr tied to a shit company) but also of having enough physical space to act in virtual space, an able enough meatspace body to stand and gesture for long periods of time, and money/otherwise access to an avatar to reflect yourself. vrchat is not an ideal digital space

let me into your system32 folder. i promise i'll behave. you will not regret letting me into your system32 folder

being flirted with in public probably wouldn't fix me but it would help a little

i want to make a habitat/club caribe for the internet of 2025

or at least, if you struggle to remember the last calendar year you did not purchase an apple device
