hmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

any friends in NL have an old/spare framework motherboard sitting around?

need one for IO cover dev, and thought I'd check before grabbing one of the €200 RISC-V ones

"This “invisible work” is made visible in the stories of gig workers like Krystal Kauffman, who has been working on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform since 2015. She has witnessed ... the shift from a diverse range of tasks to a near-exclusive focus on “data labeling, data annotation...Human labor is absolutely powering the AI boom...And I think one thing that a lot of people say is, ‘teach AI to think,’ but...it’s not thinking. It’s recognizing patterns.”

People who want to know more about segregated Carnegie libraries should look at the project

"The Roots of Community

Segregated Carnegie Libraries as Spaces for Learning and Community-Making in Pre-Civil Rights America, 1900-65"

one of the many wonderful things IMLS funding has helped bring to fruition.

btw to any[one, thing] with 88by31 badges on their website: I can recommend adding this bit:

.badges > img, .badges > a > img { image-rendering: pixelated; image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges; }

this tells the browser to keep rendering it in a nice crisp way instead of smudging your badges (as in, doing bilinear scaling instead) as soon as it leaves 100%/pixel-perfect zoom :3

(thanks for the CSS bit, lina! )

you ever look at something and go, wow i wonder what has this thing seen?
like when i see graffiti on trains, who drew that? where? when?
it's just so interesting to me
this, i suspect, at some point belonged to a german school/university or business, so it just makes me wonder, what was it used for? what were they pointing at, presumably creating those scratches? how did it even end up here?

way back in 2017, jackson lango started writing a dev log about his passion project: an ascii/ansi adventure called Terminal Rain.

i was instantly in love with his lighting and animation. in an era overloaded with knockoff cyberpunk aesthetics, he had a keen eye for atmosphere and mood

it broke my heart when the blog went defunct a year later, and then disappeared entirely by 2020. waybackmachine sadly didn't archive any of his artwork.

these two images are the only surviving examples of his game as it existed back then.

You know what? No. A team I've never heard from cannot invite me to a 9am Monday meeting out of nowhere. What the fuck?

@njion I just looked up what that train is and... yeah that's got the design where if any water gets into the HVAC duct area it gets launched in passengers' faces. That's not nice.
