suicide 

six hours without anybody to talk to makes you think of a lot of different ways to kill yourself

Hi there! Does your fur get tangled and how often do you have to brush or comb it? — i tried combing it once but the generated static blew a few transformers down the line and the whole street was without powe… retrospring.net/@maple_syrup/a

don't like negative posts! you shouldn't enjoy other's misery! 💜

this is the crux of how antisocial social media is because it has turned you all into idle clickers instead of actually considering the person on the other side of the screen and putting the onus of "that's just how everybody uses social media!" on me

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

the internet feels a lot lonelier than when i still knew people using irc

although a large chunk of those people abused me and forced me to retreat so maybe there's a connection there

are there any public hangout spaces left or is everyone else also hidden away into their closed doors highly personal discord servers

i don't think i've met new friends in 5 years now

don't worry i have plans for a feature or two to make the 1.0 release

ok not a huge one this time but v0.4 is out now

  • NEW palette mode to sample colors from source image
  • some code reworked to optimize things

maple.pet/ditherinator/

i've optimized everything i can think of in ditherinator, and the mode that samples the source image to make a reduced palette is still pretty slow and only borderline usable to move the sliders around in realtime

but as a side effect pretty much any other mode is now a lot faster

is the only way to decouple blocking procedural js from blocking the DOM really by using webworkers

i was trying to be fancy and using CIE94 to calculate distances in ditherinator but now i'm thinking i should just go with CIE76

perceptual color distance is a fuck

i think there's something wrong with my code, conceptually...

notice blue blob in the background and how it gets turned into a red patch

if i increase the error diffusion dithering it only gets worse

ironically this seems to be an issue with the CIELAB distance rather than the error diffusion algorithm itself

much to fix before v0.4
