@fribbledom It is beautiful 😭
Thanks for sharing!
Pretty cool: Signal is now using BlurHash (https://blurha.sh), the image placeholder algorithm I developed, which is also used by Mastodon, and of course Toot!:

Nice quote
If you want to see a generative art project to blow your brains. I'm in AWE: http://williamsharkey.com/PNG-Gen.html
@neauoire For me, the most natural transition from JS would be Go-lang, not C. But that's me.
My most recent "generative" notebook: plotting random noise in color: https://observablehq.com/@croqaz/paper-js-double-randomness?collection=@croqaz/generative
It's a series of notebooks grouped in a bigger collection.
I'm following tutorials and hacking around.
Anything I try to implement on my own is not working. I tried to make some cogs/ wheels, but I don't know how 😜 I tried to make a neon light/ light saber but I can't 😅
I made some spheres though!! https://observablehq.com/@croqaz/paper-js-spheres
I started learning Inkscape these days. I want to learn to generate art and Inkscape is a part of that.
I have so much to catch up to generate anything!
Starting something like that **is SO uncomfortable** because I don't know how to do anything! Even the most simple thing takes AGES to implement!
But it's still a fun thing to try :)
Police reportedly raided the Moscow office of NGINX after a Russian search engine giant claimed ownership of its extremely popular web server code 👇
That's why it's important to work on your part-time projects outside of working hours.
Starting to go deeper into generative art.
My plan is to follow tutorials until I build the muscle to make my own art.
Made:
https://observablehq.com/@croqaz/random-lines?collection=@croqaz/generative
And
https://observablehq.com/@croqaz/triangular-mesh?collection=@croqaz/generative
So far the most complicated is to "direct" or control randomness.
Everytime I hear a sentence that starts with: "It is known that..." or "It is believed that...", in my head I hear a ding 🔔 ding 🔔 warning ⚠️ warning ⚠️ , because I know that a corporation, or a religious organization, or a political organization is now making a profit thanks to that "belief".
I prefer so remain a sceptic and generally speaking, so should you.
Wheee, my first contribution to Ronin was approved:
https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Ronin/pull/117
I started to look more into computer generated art these days.
published new cabal releases!
the desktop has some minor fixes and a major version bump due to protocol changes
the cli has a TON of new features that have been lying in wait since this summer. you can now
* join/leave channels,
* see mentions, unread status,
* share the cabal keys via qr codes
and prolly a few more things
`npm i -g cabal`
or see the link below for the desktop release https://github.com/cabal-club/cabal-desktop/releases
Really nice README badges:
@glitcher32 😂 I wouldn't dare try
@neauoire yeahh.. the official Open Source trademark is a bit weird. like, they have a really big beef with https://paritylicense.com/ for instance
@neauoire Might be in the purview of the Hippocratic license https://firstdonoharm.dev – I like the idea of specifying what to exclude. I don't believe FOSS needs to equate with 'usage by anyone for anything'.
Irony punctuation lol
