doing some kind of séance for a server upgrade

@pixelflowers@notbird.site @Curator this is very cool! Are you interested in connecting over Matrix or would you rather keep things on Mastodon? There's another Cyberian or two who are pretty into visuals generation but aren't on the greater fedi yet.

@bruk, you might wanna connect with these folks

@haskal lol they're just as much a victim as the core dev team, IMO. The PSF and integrations with non-core functionality is pretty harsh.

Python is a lovely language, but some of the seams between tools can be suboptimal, especially with stuff like this. If you're using a notebook, matplotlib is pretty friendly, IMO, but I'm not sure what your use-case is.

@haskal do you want an actual answer? This is my take, at least:

Matplotlib isn't part of the python language. It's not the python core's team to make that integration seamless. Don't blame the python developers, blame the psf for keeping such a scattered ecosystem/loose packaging system.

@neauoire cursor if it's in text mode, pointer if it's arrow-like. I'm more likely to call out entire actions like 'click on this box' or 'select that text'.

we used orca by @neauoire and composed a bunch of tunes & demo’d them. Starless and Carbide got into a harp / keyboard duel. It was absolute magic. Symys won a little lain with headphones patch 😊

In a few hours, my living room will once again be converted into the makeshift clown gym we use to host the #CircusInPlace video chat.

It's a bit like the calm before a very silly storm.

Pop by starting at 8pm UTC-5 (note the time change!) for a night of conversation, circus tricks, and other shenanigans.

Cyberia jam results are live! 

Jam session listening session is going down right now! Tune in if you'd like! :) stream.cyberia.club/

re: Cyberia music jam session event reminder 

@c0debabe mumble cyberia.club is the server name, you may need to add an access token to get into some of the channels.

I'm currently being very lazy, but I can get you the details (if someone else hasn't by then) when I finally decide I've had enough of reading space operas in bed and head to the jam session. :)

Cyberia music jam session event reminder 

Reminder! Cyberia is hosting an orca jam session today! Demos are at 6 pm cst on stream.cyberia.club (0000 UTC). See cyberia.club/music-jam for more info.

Be welcome, friends! 💙

Improvised music, birds, bowed strings 

A few days ago, we had some beautiful weather for March. Have a little improvised song I recorded outside on my bowed psaltery.

mh~, angry 

@vortex_egg give yourself permission not to be mad and focus on doing what you can for outreach.

I like to draw accessible, friendly, intro-level comics explaining things I care about and why that give clear, actionable, concise information and guidance appropriate for a broad audience.

The next part is to share those, which I'm not always real great at.

Food, kidney safety 

I know it's a big news day, but I tried starfruit for the first time this morning and it sent me into a hiccuping fit through the duration of my morning meeting. Tiny hiccups every two or so breaths! Eeeee! >.<

Starfruit is tasty, but isn't safe to eat on an empty stomach. Please learn from my hubris.

@drwho@hackers.town lactaid, my friend. 🌈

Cyberia.club live-coding music jam! 


Heya! On Saturday, March 13th at 0000 UTC/1800 CST, the Cyberia Computer Club will be hosting our first Orca jam session!

Come chat with us about it in :cyberia.club on matrix (and for submissions) and find the rest of the details here: cyberia.club/music-jam

We've all been using orca for less than a week, so it'll be real casual and stuff. We're still figuring a lot out. Consider yourself invited! 💙
