Dear lord I am a terrible moderator. This is just a job I should leave to my other headmates

What absolute horseshit. Like, I already dislike that people who have been handcrafting and tweaking very domain specific algorithms by developing it along side people or as direct users of it over time just to get someone shit all over it w/ some brute force ML approach "trivializing" our effort /

There really is hardly any documentation, at least in English, on the mruby API...
Which really just means I will have to rigorously document my own journey and for others.
Because no, that isn't enough to stop me from just choosing another scripting runtime.

What a fucking wanker mate. I woulda done it

But see, this is what people do now. May you never know the joy of working with cool humans ever again

I've been using as much stdlib as I can (at least up to whatever Clang supports for C++23) but I'm also using Qt which has its own sorts of stuff and the tracker code I've been heavily deriving from uses very old style C++ and things are a little too intertwined for my liking.

It is one of my 2026 goals to continue to make the tech I want and think should exist, in spite of technology being shat on by facism and driving people to be confused and distrust it more.
Technology is big part of my art and expression and I won't let them erase that from me

I started the beginnings of spreadsheet features to our tracker and now my thoughts are on like, how to make ergonomic cell addressing (both relative and absolute/$pinned) in both freeform spreadsheet context vs. musical context and I think maybe I need two addressing systems

Lots of progress today. This is the coolest thing I've ever made. I'm not the composer in the system but I wanna compose

Made lots of progress today. Bit too tired to do screenshots here bc I need to do alt text and don't have energy. So either we will see some tomorrow, or we will see one with more progress.

Tomorrow I'm gonna actually try and start tackling the hardest part.. the actual editing part.

j/k. We're cooking. I started working on it already. I'll probably post updates on main later but I got pulled away to family thing and only given 30 minutes of notice when my ADHD ass needs like 3 hours and preferably at least a day of notice. And no I can't skip it, this is an important thing!
I just wanna make shit. This week I'm resuming work on our experimental DAW/sequencer/tracker thing. I think I'll try and set aside a few hrs a day to pick away at it

By "cold turkey" I mean that we off bipolar meds, have no psychiatrist, no therapist, no real support group IRL, online we've been isolating. We've also been off HRT for a while. Important for us& to remember. Things will feel different mentally for us, because they *are*

The problems we want to solve will still be around tomorrow, in one year, in 10, or 50. And there can, and should, exist multiple solutions. It's worth seeing our vision through

The other Roses deactivated their accts. tl;dr depression
I and a few of the less vocal Roses, are determined to keep on going.

If "bad" / messy art can exist, well "software" is "art" to me. It should be fine
This might be the most atrocious unoptimized lowpass filter you've ever come across. But it sounds okay. Hopefully someone with better DSP knowledge can come along and help optimize it?

I think having little open source experience and mostly company experience is rough. Yeah I make a lot of stuff but I have to go through this constant hurdle of feeling like it has to be close to perfect code. But in the 2000s we& were putting out Pokémon GBA map editors w/ teenager written VB6 code

netlify alternative you've enjoyed?

new credit system is stupid and a massive price increase for me. don't want to wait until i'm forced to leave my legacy plan.

want:

- deploy via CLI or git
- HTTP headers, redirects, and proxy
- some kind of "branch deploy" system
- not a ton of manual work

muddies the water & confuses people more, puts meaningful tech that has been in use for literal decades on the list of things people turn blind distrust to bc every bit of our energy is being exhausted into fear and discerning reality. i get this is the whole point, but i still need to say it

i would love it if people/companies stopped using "AI" to buzzword brand things that have nothing to do w/genAI & LLMs. for what might be small scale ML, or hell even just simple algorithms. i hate even more that "AI" itself has become poison term, but that's how it is. capitalising on this just,

i'm frustrated.

frustrated bc white ppl just react. and they react only when it affects them. and thus they jump into things and know nothing about their established history beyond what only white ppl have said, unable to accept that entire realities have been cleansed/erased, bc it's too much-

Rasterize, render, bake, freeze, bounce, export…

just some different terms from different fields for getting something in some parametric form to some sampled form
