July is LGBTQIA+ Wrath Month.

OK, think I've come up with a clever way to keep bits of information in a method less likely to get lost or damaged than other ideas I've thought of

you can get spiral-bound index cards, 3 x 5 cards attached to a perforated margin so they can be kept in a little notebook, only the pages are index cards

you rip them out later and file them

it's _just_ about as big a thing as I can carry in my pocket, and because it's index card stock it's less flimsy than a paper notebook

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics isn't a hashing function, the nature of a hashing function requires some discarding of information in many cases (as you can't fit it in a set number of bits) but neither the 2nd law or hashing truely discarding info, hash discards it from the perspective of the computer that information is dumped into the universe, but in the case of entropy once information is created it can't be destroyed, the 2nd law is more Stegography than hash.

Honestly why do any games even have life systems anymore?

it's ok to love different people in different ways

you don't have to feel the same way towards every one of your partners. each relationship is unique and its own thing.

really I should just start figuring out how to host a Matrix server or something

I kinda want to read this paper and poke around the differential equations, looking for regimes of chaotic behavior.

btw the author is my father :p

how does one set up on PeerTube exactly?

I just made a list of things that can potentially result in dx rejection or other forms of mistreatment for autistic people, and it's sort of mind-numbing/face-melting

why is this formal dx even still a thing. formal dx was rejected for homosexuality decades ago, and here we are.

note that clinical diagnosis is not the same as getting needs-based support; that's a political and infrastructure issue, not a diagnostic one, in both directions

the way I _had_ been doing things, until real life interrupted me, was simply to stream through YouTube, supply background images to my audio by various simple means, and then make up playlists for the resulting videos

it was a simple system but crude, and I want to eliminate using YouTube

if nothing else I want a better place to stream through. Ustream.tv, maybe? what do people prefer around here?

#askmastodon #streaming

ok where should I start hosting audio streams (story readings etc.) instead of YouTube

I should set up proper podcast hosting somehow

@kara Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs? https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/index.html

so what's a good _academic_ Scheme text? I do not want any book that assumes the use of a particular hunk of software. I want something approximating a scientific text, not a programmer's EZ Guide sort of popular thing

oh and as an added joke Thoth mentioned something about stimulating a bizarre late-night interest in quarks. what connection say you? well, it's that "Eightfold Way". wait, that's not Thoth either! but Thoth led a different "eightfold way", an Ogdoad

such are the labyrinthine paths that deity is forced to take in order to gain any sort of foothold on my mind

#magick

it's a bit of a Monte Carlo method of #magick, really, picking deities according to what creatures you're likely to run into on any random occasion, but that's how I roll. I can only ever do something with magick once I get the math worked out in my head first ;3

this is how particle physics works

I just realized. Living as a steward for a 96 acre property in SW Washington is perfect for doing what I've always wanted to do for this community. Hosting campouts.

Given my friend plans in using this property for a bioregional school which I will be an organizer of, I could even host a few workshops or even a full blown retreat.

After all I've been through, this is exactly the kind of break I've been waiting for.

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

I have a bit of a weakness for sexy Jasper, and I love to find #stevenuniverse fiction where she's left homeworld and is now on her own on Earth, allied to the Crystal Gems. I feel like the show hasn't treated her well.
