@BlackAzizAnansi HyperCard.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Just leave the bag on top. The thing is recording you, so look like you’re trying to get the dumpster to open.

@icedquinn @futurebird @WearsHats @drj Yep! I mean, technically it's never gone away, but it was languishing without the work that Tim Schoen started putting in to make it work in DAWs, to give it a legible interface, and to dramatically enhance its UX.

@futurebird @WearsHats @drj We're working hard on that in the plugdata project! https://plugdata.org !

The idea is that it's a programming language for experimental artists first and foremost. Integrating other people's work into your own is easy, including bringing along their documentation and crediting.

It's not cobbled together from something to sell to bosses to make their secretaries use. It's made to be a mind-spaceship.

@Doomed_Daniel @thomasfuchs @me_
Yeah, I gotta say, that looks like an ergo nightmare.

@Doomed_Daniel @thomasfuchs @me_ yep. The floating monitor stands of today are much better. They go where your eyes point while your hands go where your hands rest.

@thomasfuchs oh! Look at the size of it!

This is EASILY a RasPi, cheap small screen, and 3D printed case stuff!

@dukope Susan Care.

Incredibly influential designer.

@dukope Huh. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her bitmap sketches, but perhaps she was just mapping it out?

What have you found?

@GottaLaff
I think even Manchin is going to split more Trump voters as a third party.

@GottaLaff I guess, strategically speaking, the question would be whether, in particular swing states, he will draw enough Trump votes that Biden wins or vice versa.

@GottaLaff …plus, it now occurs to me that the GOP could be in full internal nutkicking mode by then with Trump imprisoned with more charges being laid on him, which means that people like Manchin or DeSantis or any of the other “Neither Left Nor Right” Fascists will all be destroying each other’s chances because they have neither a cult behind them nor any skill (or intention) with running a government.

@evan @dneary @aearo It doesn’t seem at all two! That’s my point! It twon’t!

@dneary @aearo @evan Might as well say 37 is 2!

@Azuaron @futurebird Wow. These are really my sense of humor.

A reminder that Evangelical Christians are the vast bulk of Israel support in the US because they believe Jews will die there for their apocalypse.

@fu @Free_Press And Russia != Communist.

There are ways Putin wants to be just like Stalin. The Communism is not one of the ways.

@Free_Press You gotta stop casting Putin as a Communist. It doesn’t make any sense. He’s an autocratic Capitalist, just like Trump.

Just finished the soldering for the #ObliquePalette, the IO interface for th #ObliqueEasel. I dread testing.

Soldering this way is satisfying & meditative but I think it’s time I learned how to get my cheapass CNC machine working so I can have it cut PCBs. This board has taken me days of soldering and error fixing so far. I don’t know how many errors are left.

Next up, I need to revise the firmware to know what these controls are.

Then I get to build #plugdata objects to talk with it!
