I tried this last year and it worked out great. Let's give it another go!

Let this be a thread where *you* reply with a link to *your* #art or #music or #shop

What are you trying to sell this holiday season so that I (and others) can find cool #artist made stuff "locally" here on #fedi. Forget #holiday shopping on Amazon ffs, buy direct from artists and #makers!

That's right, I want *you* to reply to this thread and drop links to your shops, bandcamp, kofi, etc.

Yesterday I was just reading open letter https://www.clubofrome.org/cop-reform-2024/ .

Basically the worst people took advantage of legal loopholes in the small global effort to address the climate crisis to get others into worse debt situations to them.

I don't think your description of giving a friend-in-need $100, with some expectation that they return the favour if the situations reverse, resembles that at all.

@kel
No. I identify that similarly to loansharks (ie trying to loanshark the loanshark). I think we should continue living like we do, but that all the money privately and nationally going to servicing debt should be suddenly and permanently halted by fiat, and we just let the sun rise without trying to own it somehow.

@kel
I worry that while what was done to us was a scam, if the bad people can get their claws into Special Exemptions, the bad people will get all the Special Exemptions and stuff. So we just play it once, cleanly, forgive all debt. Since it's the worst people who are debt owners, this simple move will have huge knock-on benefits for humanity. What's it worth to live in a world in which collection agencies and debt consolidators are suddenly penniless?

I added a puppet prototype for my own #lispmoo2 submission to my own #lispmoo2jam.

Puppets are actually crazy. You just pass her a piece of paper and she does whatever's on it, up to and including possessing you and driving you around if that was an implication of one of the commands you gave her that you didn't really think through.

@left_adjoint just use a vartheta2 or w/e. It looks kinda like a delta.

@hdunagan remember gophercon 1993 and how they said commercialization of the internet would go exactly like it did

@xylander @audiointerface @ethicalrevolution

Haha, thanks - it is probably the most (only?) earwormy track I've ever made!

@xameer I think that the academy and government generally had been intended to stop things turning out exactly as they did in the past decade until now (well, it's not like the climate crisis was new a decade ago). The implications of this failure seem far-ranging.

@anthk despite me not having recovered my account yet I'm going to say no based on

Is there a name for defining years to be exactly pi times ten to the seven seconds consequences be damned?

Argh what's going to happen when the brother whose war trauma turned him into a psychopath meets the visitor-style-alien-inhabited corpse of his brother again?????

@mms I've been there before but at some point you have to install emacs somewhere

@mostlypat
My goto for looking up utf8 hex (honestly, I don't know a better reference) is like, lib/unicode in plan9port. I thought plan9 and utf8 were kinda joined by their shared lab history. So I mean, boldly just typing your equations in unicode rather than writing in LaTeX $\int_{x=0}^{x=\pi}\sin{x}$ w/e. My idea was speculative

I ended up using quicklisp.org to drag in maxima (but cloning your https://sr.ht/~jmbr/maxima-interface/).

@mostlypat Isn't the idiom to use utf8 unicode? I thought it was this whole big thing.
