im going to develop it in public! the repo is here github.com/plinkysynth/... i dont yet know where this will go but let's see. thanks to @boggo.bsky.social and @todepond.com for inspiring me to fall into this particular rabbit hole.

i started to make a live coding environment for myself! its currently basically shadertoy but on my mac with compiled c for the audio. its not a particularly unique wheel, but it's *my* wheel, so I am mostly experimenting with the details to see what makes me feel productive & creative.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

pastagang @ Alpaca 2025 i made a supercut of pastagang's performance at alpaca 2025. i hope it captures a little bit of the feeling of dancing cursors that pastagang talked about in their paper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBco...

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

Today we're releasing the tldraw SDK 4.0, the fourth major release of our infinite canvas SDK. This release comes with new starter kits, including the Cursor-for-tldraw agent starter, license changes, and a major accessibility milestone.

"With Polanski's fluency, courtesy and trick of listening carefully to questions that he then answers directly, the Greens’ new leader...could be very dangerous (to the Labour Party) indeed." www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
