Sorry @zed.dev and @zen-browser.app... one of you is going to need to add some color to your logo or something.
App logos for Zed editor and Zen browser, which are very similar visually. Basic white repeating shapes on black background.

Boomer family member AI-edited a summer family photo to add xmas sweaters. I can see that being innocent fun for them, but everyone under 50 was uncomfortable with it. We said please don't, but I wonder if there's some good articulation about why we shouldn't fake memories.

If there is room, is it more efficient to keep 12 liter boxes of oat milk in the fridge, or in the cabinet and chill them as they are used?

Hypercard / Flash / Dreams... all thriving creative scenes within a closed ecosystem. All kneecapped by business decisions.
Could an open source tool build such a scene?

Love it when a plot comes together.
Score wheel, pens, blade.
ObservableHQ/D3 for map projections and Cuttle for Boolean ops on the vectors.
Map projected to icosahedron, with graticules in the oceans, flat after fabrication. Partially folded. We didn't have basic glue at the studio. What kind of paper craft factory are we.

I still think that replies should need to be approved to show up.
I've never really had "numbers" >10 though, so I'm speaking as someone who accidentally looks at replies on occasion.

love the website where posting a picture of a biscuit inspires deranged comments and some of the most tedious discourse imaginable

Review of Lily Allen's new album: it's like a tv series of a messy failing open marriage. It's cool to turn an album into a coherent story. People that do creative stuff should keep coming back to it.

okay. so there are often a few dessert recipes that share things (type of dish; fruit) in common but this is really kicked up for fall. just about everything that isn’t pumpkin is apple or pear & one of the variety of “baked fruit w/ starch on top”, to the point where they offer a guide to the types
guide to fruit dessert types part 1, featuring Brown Betty, buckle, and cobbler guide to fruit dessert types part 2, featuring crumble, crisp, slump / grunt, pandowdy, and sonker. apparently all of these are real words

Considering making a boot-to #Picotron system, it is so cozy.
This one-button gravity flow game introduced me to Tiki Pona, a cozy constructed language.

#30daymapchallenge 17: A new tool
Helsinki enjoyed a grand total of 12 minutes of sunshine in November (1.–13.11). No better time to remember that yes, the sun does still exists.

This map shows Helsinki's shadiest / sunniest places. New tool? #GRASSGIS solar modelling.

A map of Helsinki's urban core. It shows which areas are in the shade on a clear day in mid-June. Hietaranta beach and Töölönlahti bay are highlighted with photos, since they are have some of the sunniest spots on the map.

Are there any body tracking computer vision thing for sports movements? One person? Groups?
Open and local preferred.

After experimenting with Urban Müller’s minimal programming language, “Brainfuck”, we created our own version, “bff” – a soup of thousands of randomly interacting 64-byte tapes initially filled with random noise.

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages.

"To serve is to offer something, a name, a website, a document, an idea –something to be shared, something that connects us. But who serves whom? Serving can be a painful experience. It is a relation that carries histories of gendered violence, histories of slavery, serfdom and oppression as we are taught by archives of resistance, black feminists and anti-colonial scholars. This violence extends to the materialities of the earth which is made to serve as resource, ready to be extracted for the minerals that make up the very chip that carries these thoughts as binary strings of information. Serving does not have to manifest as violence if we insist otherwise. Serving can become an act of empowerment when we build infrastructures that serve the needs of local and remote communities evolving around situated knowledge of those around us – while keeping in mind privilege often determines who has access to a community and its resources. The complexities of the internet with its corporate and state entanglements, its huge data centers, relentless data crawlers and transatlantic fibre cables can feel inevitable. To delink from time to time means to shift our focus back to the local networks and groups that we are already part of. We know that the internet is much more than its corporate occupants, it is about forming connections and sharing resources. Independent, selfmade networks remind us of the physical connections that are the base of all kinds of signal transmissions. Intimate networks that make us share and mitigate our vulnerabilities through trust and kinship. In the smallest scope, networks such as this ones."
