@VDoesntKnow this makes me think of like, how in battletech things absolutely get annihilated over time, so now you need to pick what era you are playing in so that your rasalhague-based mercenary company makes sense or whatever

Over many years, I have been gradually replacing all of the paragraphs in the Ship of Theseus Wikipedia article.

StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon's verification system in a clever way.

Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.

I spoke with the creater @tvler about the project, 🧵 below.

Visit streetpass.social/ to try it yourself!

@inurashii honestly? this is probably one of the best ways to use something like that!

and as long as you can recognize the possible pitfalls, finding ways of getting new things into your brain faster is not a bad thing at all~

What's that? We, at the @spritelyinst, are launching a Guile->WebAssembly project? spritely.institute/news/guile-

YOU READ THAT RIGHT! First-class Scheme in the browser by compiling Guile programs *directly* to WebAssembly!!

No emscripten compilation of a bloated underlying runtime, nah.... we're compiling scheme programs DIRECTLY to browser-ready Webassembly!

This is gonna be HUGE!!!! (And, of course, it means a bold path for Spritely in the browser!)

Oh and did I mention... that we're hiring? Because if compilers are your thing, maybe you should come work for us! spritely.institute/jobs/compil

@sugar heck yeah!

backspace makes for the best programming

re: tech complain 

@bunnyhero gosh, "work-mandated antivirus" really shows how out of touch said work is :s

@SomeEgrets@meow.social oh, of course!

i mostly just wanted to point out the immediate tangible benefits it would have for some people who actually exist, even if there are a few funky bits about its vibe and prerequisite privilege~

removing barriers for the marginalized to escape oppression will always be a good thing

@SomeEgrets@meow.social this is fair!

though i know specific people who were actually very recently looking to see if this was even an option for them because of how things are going in the places around them

tl;dr - the process was...not great, and the petition would be granting that option to people like that outside of literally making your case in front of a court of people who may or may not be transphobic

I encourage any of my fellow Canadians on the Fediverse to sign this petition. Including, and especially if you currently live in the States. We have a relatively easy option if the US goes sideways, many of our siblings do not.

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, please boost but do not sign, thank you.

@SirTapTap there are instances that federate with mastosoc that have slower federated timelines (like awoo!)

...though it's also possible there are people who use regex filters to watch for certain topics on federated posts ^^'

@SirTapTap maybe they followed you from birdsite? (or maybe they saw it on the federated timeline?)

if you wanted to compare the two side by side, here is what i eventually released! soundcloud.com/archenoth/rainb

you can still kinda hear the piano above in the background!

i actually made this one first! before going for the more orchestral style the version i released ended up having

i still like the simple sound of just piano! it has kind of a charming quality in its simplicity, i feel ^^

Show thread

fun fact! i actually made another version of rainbow resort from kirby's adventure besides the one i have posted!

it's just piano~ no synths or anything

@cinnamon huh! i'll definitely need to give that a watch!

because like, coming at this from the opposite side you are, i see so much overlap, so it'd be neat to understand what the heck is going on with that, ahah

i'm a simple oshawott

i see a video game decompilation project on github, i star it
