@chjara i think people are confusing “imprecise” and “varies by processor architecture” with “non-deterministic”
it’s entirely deterministic but it doesn’t give an exact result

@lily wasn’t there a very old “law” of technology that said “all software increases in scope until it can read mail; otherwise it fails”

@julia no single person should have the power to seize unilateral control of the project and overrule everyone else, really
decisions like this should be collaborative
@chjara esperanto?
@garrison i have a job that consists entirely of coming up with new, different passwords in order to satisfy the demands of the digital pagan god that runs the company
@rainbowpink f00f used Hello there!
@zens attempted serious answer: a text editor, and that’s it.
you could incorporate the ability to execute text as some kind of programming language, and share text with other computers, into said text editor, but you would not need any applications other than a text editor to start with
wait did i just reinvent emacs
#introduction time!
Greetings everyone! I am known to the fediverse as F00F, but also elsewhere as Eris, or the Continuum, or Cosmic, or by my legal name or any number of other nicknames I have come up with in the past. All these names are acceptable.
I am a stereotypical nerd, complete with glasses, studying Computer Science at a university. I’m #ActuallyAutistic and was diagnosed at a young age. I refuse to stick to a gender or sexuality label because I find gender, and all attempts to make sense of it, to be nonsensical and unhelpful for myself, but you may see me using such labels on myself when I feel it makes for a good quip or helps someone else understand me. Any pronouns are okay.
Ideologically, I am nebulously leftist and libertarian (in the broad sense). I’ve given up trying to construct an ideal world in my head, because I imagine something different every time, and I know my specific vision almost certainly won’t be achieved. However, I support any measure and cause that empowers the working class and weakens hierarchical power. I’m mostly not religious, but Daoist spirituality has some appeal to me. Don’t take any of this to mean you can’t follow me unless you share my exact ideology - I don’t have respect for committed bigots and fascists, but I’m open to kind interactions from just about anyone otherwise.
Being an autistic nerd, I also have way too many special interests, including: #StarTrek, #SciFi, #Linux, #FOSS, #ElectronicMusic, #RetroGaming, #Doom (the games), #MagicTheGathering, #TokiPona, #Numismatics, #Philosophy.
I also make music. Most of it is MIDI music designed for Doom levels, and suitable for all video games. The rest is eclectic electronic mixes made with LMMS, Ardour, and a pair of synthesizers.

Note: I used to be really active on fedi. This was a mistake I don't intend to repeat, and I will only use this account occasionally when I deem it necessary. So if you want to talk to me often, you should probably ask for my email, XMPP, Discord, or Matrix.Autistic technology nerd into electronic music, FOSS, sci-fi, and retro gaming, among other things. I try to stay open-minded and rational, and encourage others to do the same.Boundaries: Don't label or diagnose me without my consent. Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overt sexual comments (chances of me saying yes are about 80%). Tell me when I do something wrong, and give me the benefit of the doubt; I promise I'm trying to do the right thing. Also, keep your drama away from me.
