As much as I love my cabin in , I also have an apartment in the city. Spent the evening cleaning up the physics of the place, as it needed some work. But it's nice and cozy....

So, that pic of me sitting in a stonehenge area in Resonite? I made that whole area. In game. In VR. I "drew" it, by sketching convex shapes into plinths.

It's so wierd creating stuff in CR. Drawing objects, pulling and stretching them with your hands...being ablke to grab and twist and move the stuff around to create. It really feels organic, and like building in real life.

Every day, spiraling inexorably closer to a Framework Printer.

random thought 

Every pronouncement of what's wrong or who's to blame for any of the many forms of doom around us should end with "And here's what you should do."

And here's what you should do! Reply to posts and other things with "What should I/we do about it?" or something like that.

Let's focus on practical changes and not the constant proclamations of how bad/good people are.

I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down treaty rights of Maori.

New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!

Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.

Since we had our first politics related stream recently, here's my stance on the overall topic.

@mpuckett259 - Stretch it out long enough, and they'll often forgive the bill after a while.

Tom Kurtz, who co-invented BASIC—probably the piece of software that has meant the most to me—has died at age 96. When it turned 50 ten years ago, I wrote a VERY long article about why it was so important, and I’m very grateful that he helped with it. RIP. time.com/69316/basic/

@Alairthephoenix - I like Mastodon, but often find the lack of engagement discouraging (as well as the policing, which thankfully has died down). I rarely get any likes, rarely get any replies.

The vibe there is fairly positive, open and accepting (and in some cases too open), people are friendly for the most part, and the moderation tools are fantastic, allowing you to curate your feeds really well (and deplatform hate speech and bullying fairly well).

But I keep at it here because, well, I enjoy social media, and the people here have a different vibe than Blue sky (far more technical).

But I will admit, I prefer Bluesky to Mastodon.
