A classic text about software rasterizing. I scavenged this so that I could make something more fun than that stupid checker at some point for my test :-)

At the time made for the first gen Pentium but most of the stuff still applies:

It's still a good one if you want to fill some triangles...

Not a huge hardware synth fan (I like software and do not have space) but I do have a thing for EA-1/MS-2000/Microkorg. They are kind of like "same family".

If (actually more like when) I buy a bigger house I'll get used MS-2000 :-) It's quite limited compared to e.g. JP-8000 but has tons more character.

Gaze upon him 🧡​

Karvinen does this thing where he gets up on his little behind and puts his paws in the air when he is making considerate demands. If you put your hands close enough, he'll grasp them so he can stay sitting and firmly insist. He won't let go unless you take the hands away, and thus you can jiggle the entire cat.

Mention Pixelfed, get banned on Facebook/Instagram.

Meanwhile, we just started https://respectfulplatforms.org

Every friend you save from Meta's ecosystem is one less person whose digital life can be erased at Zuck's whim.

Spread the word.

OpenAI is terrified (there's finally a great open source LLM)

Somehow also EA-1 looks best when it has weathered and worn by time. I guess it has a soul now ;-)

EA-1 and BassStation are really the only legit Goa leads ;-)

303 is overrated...

Process specific ABI (psABI) specification can take dozens of pages in total. For RISC-V the spec has 95 pages. It is not ergonomic to print it all, so what to print out?

I usually print just the section enumerating the relocation's. It is the nastiest differentiatior and the part one is most likely continue to revisit forever after 🙂 For RISC-V that totals six pages.

@vadorovsky OK, sorry it is a bit "in the close thing" for me ;-) People have strong feelings on the topic and I notice that I easily go on defensive mode or am like "I'm sorry but..."...

@vadorovsky It's actually a bit same with AI and LLM's. I'm not a big fan and thus I hope that people who I personally trust in the tech world would work on the topic. From philosophical perspective, it is sort of "existential standing point". I can easily make deduction that it is most likely not possible to make neither AI nor blockchains go away. Thus, it is better that people who are right side of the history work on those topics.

Maybe less Nazi salutes would help with a more positive turn?

@vadorovsky I.e. I don't think that people suddenly turn into shitcoin fanatics by hearing the word "blockchain". I work on a blockchain technology and still I've never bought a single memecoin. My interest spans from improving that tech to make efficient and more fair resource leasing infrastructures for replacing monolithic services like AWS and Azure. Technology itself is never a devil per se, only how it is applied.

@vadorovsky Disclaimer. I think equally Mitchell still should be allowed to give her speech and don't wish that it is taken down :-) I'm a strong believer of "let the all voices be heard and trust that audience is capable of critical thinking". What kind of tech conference is that if people are easily brainwashed with nonsense?
