I saw a WRONG vs RIGHT example from a narrative designer colleague about Text vs Environmental Storytelling with art, and I couldn't place my finger immediately with what was wrong with the comparison. A few things came to mind of the (quite extreme) example image they used after I let it simmer […]

This is not as well edited as the first one, but still good fun to listen to. #renaissance #adapalmer #machiavelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1FrhkLQnCI

Mastodon, the open, decentralized alternative to Big Tech apps like X and Threads, is betting that email could help solve the open social web’s biggest problem: audience growth. With the software’s latest release, the social networking platform is introducing email newsletters, a feature that […]

This is a quick (10 min) mind-game I made for myself last night as an effort to see what happens if I needlessly complexify Main Menu text. I have a theory that since Everything Is Always Possible in the Right Context, then in theory there exists a game where this is a right choice. And I could […]

Poetry landed on me in the woods this morning and I hate I missed parts of it, but at least I captured some. It's silly because the second stanza is translated Finnish word-play. But yet it wanted to be written down, and I must oblige. #poetry #poem

I applied a Godot shader tutorial by Godotneers slightly in an effort to learn more, and made this little vertex shader, and applied it to a SVG sprite and a scanned watercolor. It doesn't look like much, but the reason why I want to openly celebrate what […] [Original post on mementomori.social]

Dear diary, today I have learned about Fedora file systems, written my first ever shell script, and made it an executable. To make Godot find Blender through a Flatpak installation. It was fine I guess.

Climate change things: more and more strange new bugs every year, last week I saw a pale green cousin of a dragonfly on the balcony. And birds: one goes to the woods and listens to strange new songs. At the allotment there was a tweet of descending melody with hard edges, like MIDI music.

Someone asked me (under my ultra secret gamer name) a question on a Steam forum of all places over the weekend, and I answered them, and they got back to be all polite to thank me for the help. I was so surprised by human civility on Steam forums of all places (granted, on a girl game forum) […]

Testing KDE Connect between my KDE Plasma Linux and iOS this morning for file sharing. I can turn my phone into a remote controller now. Wish my next phone were from Jolla, I'd love to try Sailfish. Might have to settle for a smartless brick though, that's ok too. kdeconnect.kde.org

Prunus padus is blooming right now in East Helsinki #bloomscrolling #MitäIistimpää

Sat on my balcony garden last night in my thickest wool jumper, listening to soft rain and birds sing, there was a nightingale in the choir of blackbirds for a little while. Air has been dusty and dry for so long, it was a pleasure at long last to breathe easy. A friend and I passed by the […]

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed? KDE Connect is completely free and open source […]

This still bothers me, and I know complaining about it doesn't help, but it's frustrating that people are aware of how harmful algorithms, mainstream tools, and social media are, yet they still won't make the small effort to educate themselves, download a private browser or join the Fedi. The […]

Tech companies are destroying social structures, preventing young people from building romances and steady relations. Connor Leahy explains spot on how tech company's are acting in a 'wild west' fashion. Getting very rich without taking any societal […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
