so I bought a PS3, bought many games for it, both online and single player. lost online, now they delete my account, and I lose access to everything because I didn't spend MORE of my money on their other hardware? and I have no legal way to play games I bought and paid for?

noted :)

tech demo: left joystick events are interpreted as a discrete signal, which controls the frequency (x) and volume (y) of a sine wave

little clicks heard near are because there's no interpolation on inputs while we only have 7 bit joystick axis data :^)

owo

mvp lfo sin wav out via dsp mcu i/o~
mul and add ops for lfo ctl too!

ok I'll stop the 3 letter bit now -- weeks of effort are paying off!

we can hook a bunch of basic chips together and get a signal out! next time I'll record the audio output too :3

We should be more brave on saying "Atmosphere Account" regardless of people understand it or not.

Just like Fediverse bros did.
Atproto can't be a common thing if people are too afraid to say it.

this is kinda so hype ngl
I didn't realize there was so much that needed to go into all the routing logic for the UI/UX, but I think I've got most of the kinks worked out x.x

that microchip has a closure wired up to it, and the wire colors indicate "types" in a sense ^^

the first microchip is looking kinda pretty

I think I'm gonna want like a 6x6 icon and some bottom-text so that you know what microchip does what

two moods of making art:
- everyone is impossibly talented, I could never compete
- oh, the bar is on the floor; I've really got my shit together

1password was never a trustworthy organization.
neither is cloudflare.

stop letting third parties handle your private data.
stop letting third parties handle your customers' private data.

if you have users, your threat model is ANY threat to their private data.

there will be a blog post abt this.

holy shit

ns.agency is alive

I turned my obsidian notes (in my preferred, somewhat obnoxious theme) into my website

don't ask how it happened, but it runs http/3

also it's running on a $4 VM so it's very easy to kill :^)

I love watching the UI freeze in my notes app because the export plugin is javascript and steals the thread for an inderterminate amount of time. Another export plugin struggles to parse nearly-empty files and then freezes when it encounters a jpg.

I can't with javascript anymore.

I've been wondering why fedora lags to all hell for a few seconds every once in a while, nearly frozen - sometimes crashes.

turns out firefox video decoding is kinda fucked on linux and has been for years? `top` reporting 200% CPU usage on RDD ☠️

Enabling accelerated video decoding in Firefox on Ubuntu 21.04
In this past year there has been work to make Firefox hardware decode video on Linux. Ubuntu 21.04’s switch to wayland luckily makes this feature more accessible and easier to enable. Benefits: Hard...

working with bevy is great because you can use the default plugins to get a prototype running, then fully cut out and replace them when they no longer suffice.

I've completely replaced audio and input so far, because I'm doing fun audio/dsp things :3
