You can also click on an image to open the original in a lightbox. (I should make that more obvious.) The dithering happens server-side (er, laptop-side). Experimented with a JS filter but it just didn't hit the way I wanted it to. Plu

Guilty. I had a few hours to kill on Amtrak... the time will pass anyway y'know (Plus I didn't know if it would work. The first version was just some Python functions I had to call from the REPL, livecoding style)

There's a few that I think would look better with dropped frames (the cake for instance). These are all the raw output of the script. Consider it maybe a starting point for manual editing :)

The unfortunate reality of accidents, lack of intention~ I've been taking pictures to be more effective wigglegrams now that I know I can auto-GIF them. I'll do a followup post at some point. The big trick is that they look better

As the others pointed out the script is at the end... > Would be nice to have... the choice of perceptual hashing algorithm Funny enough the script does some of this - there's a handful of algorithms the library supports and it comp

Seconded. I got a Gemini server running on an esp8266 once, there really isn't a lower bound.

It’s tough but one of the tenets of Gemini is that a lone programmer can write their own client in a spirited afternoon/weekend. Markdown is just a little too hard to clear the bar. Already there was much bellyaching on the mailing lis

Maybe the solution is to ban editing. Or let moderators review + approve edits at least. The gambling site “Stake” was doing the same thing recently, they’d make posts on financial advice or gaming subreddits and edit in a link (as to be “o

It's two different problems. People who run review sites and blogs and such care about traffic, and not getting attribution will kill their desire to participate. People who post here and on Reddit etc. care about talking with other hu

It’s not “clear communication” though. The prose that comes out of LLMs is awful - long, vapid paragraphs with distracting tropes. You can ask them to be concise but then they file down all the wrong bits of the sentence and lose meaning. T

I'm taking the bait whatever. All those projects are just more fucking AI tools. It's all Claude seems to be good for - writing agents, skills, harnesses. Just a big fat ouroboros. (Going down the /trending page - 13 of the 1

IIRC "firmware as hardware" only applies if nobody - not you, not the manufacturer - can update it. I.e. your laptop's BIOS is software, the controller in your washing machine is hardware. Of course, now washing machines conn

An immediate benefit I see is that they're cheap enough to use once - you could make/find/buy a software instrument that you like, then put it in your gear bag and never reflash it. Now it's just like any other synth. Th

I think I'm in love. That it's built off Micropython is a huge deal. I've started using it by default for my hardware projects and it makes everything easier - writing drivers, playing with user interfaces, etc. Loads of regu

The dream of course would be both: if you’re already writing textual content you might as well publish it on both protocols, so anyone can get to it with any tool they like. Gemtext can be trivially converted up to Markdown, the opposite is
