Only three weeks until my second marathon!

Did the longest run in my training program today! I always try to find new fun routes – today, I went from Hamburg to Harburg and back again. :)

Me, a red-bearded white human, in front of a town hall.

Proud to present my entry for the "wild" compo at :

Our entry "scrolll" got the second place in @revisionparty's Wild compo! ✨

Still pondering the strange alien glyphs in this year's logo!

On my way to my first @revisionparty! \o/ I have a last-minute idea for an entry, and a long train ride ahead of me! :)

I'd like to collect "hyper-interesting pages"! 🤯📄

Self-contained, single-page artifacts that can nerd-snipe you; that you could hand out at an event, and it'd keep people interested/busy for a while, or teach them something!

Examples:

Do you know more documents like this?

What do you wish existed?

A Toki Pona cheat sheet, that explains the full grammar of the constructed language.
A message in an alien font.

@Katti Whoa :O Seems like that one needs some prior biochemistry knowledge, but, for example, the regex crossword does as well, I guess…

@AberDerBart I'm relieved that you sent this toot before midnight, and not at, like, 4 am :D

I received two new submissions for the https://glitchgallery.org! I really love them:

"Pacman Pie" was the output of a buggy pie chart generator.

And "Neon Giraffe" is a faulty visualization of Edinburgh's bus network!

@atarifrosch Ha fun :) I'd be happy if you'd submit that image + story to the Gallery!

@atarifrosch Now published at https://glitchgallery.org/blue-view/! \o/ Thanks a lot!

By the way, I tried to replicate GIMP's behaviour, but it didn't complain for me (version 2.10.36). And I also see the blue in Nautilus' thumbnail. Is this the original file?

@atarifrosch That'd be great! 😍

From HN, list of shame: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_formerly_open-source_or_free_software

"This is a list of notable software packages which were published as free and open-source software, or into the public domain, but were made proprietary software, or otherwise switched to a license (including source-available licenses) that is not considered to be free and open source."

@reidrac Added Aseprite to the list :/

Hey :) @daniel_bohrer and I want to visit Switzerland this summer! Do we know anyone there who would enjoy a visit, and might have a couch for us to crash on? 🇨🇭

would anyone like to venture a guess as to what they're looking at?

@stevefaeembra That's a fun activity, as well, but in the Glitch Gallery, I'm showcasing accidental glitches! :) @danielaKay @osgav

I made a PR to bring the #tic80 fantasy console to nixpkgs! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/291129

If you wanna try it (and have Flakes enabled), you can simply run the following command:

nix run github:blinry/nixpkgs/tic-80#tic-80

Let me know if something breaks! :D Would be happy about feedback or code review in the PR! Haven't tried or enabled it on MacOS, if you wanted to try that, that'd also be wonderful! #nix #nixos #nixpkgs

@blinry@chaos.social avatar

Are there people at ? :) I contributed a nixpkg for the fantasy console last month, and it could use testing, review and/or someone to merge the PR!

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/291129

Easiest way to test the package is to run:

nix run github:blinry/nixpkgs/tic-80#tic-80

My Framework laptop is here! ✨ It's a modular, repairable laptop that I've been hearing really good things about!

This is the "DIY edition", so let's assemble all the pieces together!

For a workshop about the minimalist constructed language "Toki Pona", I attempted to put the entire grammar on one page, and the entire vocabulary on the other side! What do you think? What questions do you have as you're reading it? https://morr.cc/toki-pona-cheat-sheet/

It always makes me really happy to see new translations of my 2-page #tokipona cheat sheet!

Now there's a Japanese translation (by jan wanashi)! :tada:

You can find all of them here: https://blinry.org/toki-pona-cheat-sheet/
