Whatās a cliplog? A microblog taken straight from the X11 clipboard and updated with a keyboard shortcut. Maybe it doesnāt really deserve a name of its ownā¦
mew and mew. life is few. life is far. mew and mar.
dysphoria sucks balls
Finally pretty damn sure that the barely-remembered old bell the intro The Beauty and the Beast rang in me is Le carnaval des animaux by Camille Saint-SaĆ«ns. One of my earliest musical experiences, but long buried except for a sense of glassy sounds radiating into darknessā¦
Tonight's Gemini updates:
Some leftover pixel art from my Amiga days collected in one image.
Untitled German poem in German
I feel so incapable of doing/tackling/starting/accomplishing anything I could cry, except I can't seem to do that either anymore

ATTN: If you are currently making a sitcom about roommates, please don't end it with everyone moving out and/or getting married. That's just sad, to see everything dissolve.
Does it bother anyone else on this planet to see SOCAL, OB/GYN or COVID when it should be SoCal, Ob/Gyn and CoViD? At all? Never mind MAC (for the computer).
I'm devastated! But it does look interesting.
There's a new intrusive thought in my mind tempting me to regard all this surveillance capitalist glitz and clutter as OKAY. they just want to KNOW you and SELL you things. you're less LONELY that way. and they give you all these TOYS to keep you happy and coming back in excchange for knowng more about what a cool person you are. ... I may need saving urgently

"noauto,x-systemd.automount" is just the best for network shares in fstab. no delaying the boot process by waiting for wi-fi to become available, but silently automounted when first accessed! thanks to whatever I read to learn of thatā¦ already forgot
Today I learned of lesspipe! How did I not know thatā¦
"Two-Edge: Rats and Spiders". ElfQuest minific. (Content warning: alludes to physical and emotional child abuse)

I don't dislike "Visual Novels" on principle. Like text adventures They often have far more interesting and, uh, non-normie stories than the more luxurious video games. But imagine reading a book that has only one sentence per page, with some of the pages containing nothing but āā¦ā. That's what the *gameplay* is like. Goes for dialogue sequences in JRPGs, too. PLEASE. We CAN read more than ten words at a time without needing to click for no reason whatosever. Yes?
I just discovered by accident that Konsole previews colours (RGB triplets and named colours). That's great!

Q: Should there be stricter laws regulating harassment/bullying online?
A: I don't know what the existing laws are and what would need to be added that'd be specific to it being online. Do we want to force website owners to implement filtering and censorship and abolish pseudonymity? There're so many well-intentioned paths to hell.

Agents of SHIELD: If it weren't for the whole being-evil thing, I could think of much worse than being mind-controlled by a parasite that gives you a purpose, inhabits the pleasure centres of your brain, and takes some of that stupid decision-making out of your hand. #porn
New logo ā converted from ASCII with a script I wrote. Sometimes I DO STUFF!
Q: If you had to guess, do you think humans will go extinct in the next 1000 years?
A: They're resourceful little buggers. They will hang on for way longer than that, even if it might not be by the billions. Think about what this would require: billions of individuals from a resourceful and technologically inventive species ALL gone with not even one "Adam and Eve" combo remaining, and be it in abject misery, in highly artificial surroundings, in the last patch of uncontacted tribal territory on earth, in an underground bunker, on Mars, or in the Google AI's petting zoo.

Reworked yesterdays Commodore TED/264 retrospective a tad, as I am wont to doā¦
Iād like a gemini browser to automatically generate a different colour scheme for every server/host/idk ā like Lagrange does it for the headlines, but for everythingā¦
Been working on a little ASCII-art-to-Unicode-art converter. :) A simple project but it's nice to have something actually useful taking shape.

First version of a new cursive script with German-specific extensions ready ā addressing, I hope, some of the flaws of Ć¾e olde SĆ¼tterlin. Now itāll need āflow optimisationāā¦

Been over a week that I merged XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME, still no issues :)
Learned some C with ncurses. 1985, here I come! <3
Yoiks, was operating with about 20% of my mind on the Trine stream and finding it enormously funny that nothing made any senseā¦
...people photosynthesise with purple skin to save scant food, die at 35 (another side-effect of wiping out cancer, who'd have thought!), and have knowledge, memories, desirable behaviour and skills imparted by viruses -- yet it doesn't feel half bad, because it also means there's no need for locks, police, fear of walking alone in the dark; everything just seems to be running itself without having guns pointed at it; life's... not easy, but informal
It plays on all the senses without ever feeling indulgently hedonist or 'purple'. It'll manage to gross you out *adoringly*. Huge genetically engineered antarctic miners (polar bears) who you'd expect to be an oppressed underclass are a rugged wealthy separate culture that'll take the mickey out of us squishy mind-controlled normies; the eradication of cancer let tumours replicate the host body so well as to produce immortal deformed-looking copies...
Been finding it hard to booklog; it's still what I'd love to have written but so dense with ideas to process and integrate into an internal coherent model -- melancholically playful, whimsical when it should be creeping you out; a dystopia you (sometimes) half want to live in...
Have merged XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME into one, since developers barely know when to use which as it is. Nothing's fallen over dead yet, not even Akonadiā¦
Not sure what to do with Gemini, really. You put stuff out there and then that's that; silence. Might be in a bad mood though
No more dead links; + some a first few old texts posted to the Gemini thang.
ā¦whose name I surprisingly got right on the first attempt. I forgot I was slightly obsessed with this album! If a psychedelic prog-tech sort of thing sorts like your jam, jam to this.
Five guest musicians (Edward KaSpel, IAMX, Otto von Schirach, Traz Damji, Soriah); bodes well.
Out now! :) :) Advance tracks were brilliant, Anger is an Acid quite likely to remain my high point of the album...
It's time for that old outburst of anger again, because I can't view a single German website without losing my temper any more. YOU. UTTER. FICKING. AR$ā¬HOLES. DESTROYED. THE. FREE. OPEN. DEMOCRATIC. LIBERTINE. INTERNET with your regulations. That "Datenschutzerklaerung" and that "Impressum" demand a level of self-exposure (self-doxxing, really) and legalese-compliance that a decently-sized business may be able to deal with but not an intimidateable individual with a need for privacy and a hunger to find the other weirdos of the world. BURN IN HELL YOU SHITS.
Iāll have to talk fragmentarily about this book while Iām reading it. It's the sort of colourfully imaginative but grounded-feeling life-as-an-XYZ-sort-of-creature-detailing "soft" sci-fi I'd want to write if I wanted to take up the responsibility of writing sci-fi, that is to say, to presume to be able to speculate with some level of plausibility.
I will consider forget-me-nots now
It was a lovely day, that day I walked away... test test
Advantage of attempting to teach yourself piano: nobodyās going to stop you from using harpsichord, organ, or synth bass sounds when you get bored
No, waitā¦ wild poppies.

Hurray! Huzzah!
Was that double post an accident or did I just not clipboard correctly?
