i wanted to experiment with Unicode in #uxn, so i wrote a little program that reads, decodes and displays each GNU Unifont glyph in the Basic Multilingual Plane, one at a time… at 60fps :3
the result is pretty mesmerising!

holy shit, the EU made it a legal requirement that you can upload custom firmware to any battery you legally own

I'm looking for a fediverse app that can provide what I can only describe as a "pseudo-algorithmic timeline highlights" within a settable timeframe (say, the past 24 hours)
just so I can see, in no particular order, things like:
* most popular posts by people I follow, or things they've RT'd
* a random assortment of posts from people I follow who I interact with a lot
I'm *not* asking for Twitter-esque content-judging/context-deriving/advertiser-friendliness-scoring, or for it to suddenly decide that someone isn't worth seeing because they said the word "fuck".
all I'm looking for is the fusion of extremely basic metrics ("how popular is a post" + "do I interact with this person often") to present a highlight reel of the past 24 hours.
I don't think that's too difficult or invasive.
Someone flagged me down while I was walking home in fursuit and I thought they were going to ask for a photo, but they actually just wanted directions to Glasgow Cathedral
I’m glad I look trustworthy
Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.
Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:
We can do multi-swf flash now!
A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.
