@ajroach42 I know several people who would likely be interested in participating in something like that.Personally I'm super interested in hearing about it, telling people about it, sharing what I know if applicable, and learning from folks' experiences setting it up, though I don't think I'd be able to quit my job for it currently.

TIL the Smithsonian has 3d scanned a portion of their collection (and more every day) and made them available for download. Some of them are apparently 3d printable. https://3d.si.edu/

@ajroach42 I don't have an answer for you, but "Hey friends on this niche social media service: Do you think I should produce a television show in a niche human conlang with this tv production we've built in this small exurban community?" is one of the nerdiest things I've heard in a while.I love that about all the entities involved, to be clear. But I thought it was worth noting.

I dunno who needs to hear this, but there's a nonprofit that makes all-terrain #wheelchair reservations available for free at certain #Atlanta area state parks.https://www.allterraingeorgia.org/I haven't talked to anyone who uses them yet, but I wanted to spread the word as a potential opportunity for those who might benefit from it.

@mcc I'm sure we can at least find a definitive upper bound!

Hey #ttrpg kids! Do you know the story of Eric and the Dread Gazebo? Perhaps you've seen references to it in popular gaming culture (Munchkin, KoDT, etc)? Do you know the origin?Eric was a real gamer in the 70s. He didn't know what a gazebo is, and in-game hijinks ensued. His fellow gamer Richard Aronson was there and wrote it up for paper-based fan publications, and eventually ended up on the (pre-Web!) Internet in 1989.The original is a short read:https://web.archive.org/web/20080804140516/http://www.dreadgazebo.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8

While I'm on gamer meme culture. The "I'm attacking the darkness!" audio has had a bunch of video adaptations, but the original was audio-only and published in 1996. It's from the sketch comedy group the Dead Alewives.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kgx2b1sIRs&ab_channel=coreydm676cw puerile gamer misogyny and homophobia, presented as an object of ridicule

We've defederated from takesama.com. They're a private social network who state in their whitepaper that their goal is to bypass defederation and nonconsensually index user content.#SignsAndCodes #fediblock

@meso I'm not sure what led you to the conclusion that I need a lecture about how followbots work, but it was unnecessary and unwelcome. I'm quite aware.

For anyone else who has strong opinions on followbots, the creator of this one opened an activitypub issue report to request an easier way to hide them without notifying you that they're following you. It's open for comments and reactions.https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/361

Someone's posted a bunch of antisemitic Great Replacement shit all around the #Decatur square. White paper, black ink, prominent link to a .info site. Small, maybe 1"x3". I just took down three myself within a block of the square, but if anyone's in the area and able to make a full sweep it would be much appreciated.#Atlanta, cc @AtlantaAntifa

Frontend devs. Sweeties. Let's talk.Do you remember the Web in the 90s? I do. My computer today has more RAM than my computer in the 90s had hard disk. My cable modem today can download that amount of data several times over every second.The web today feels as slow today as it did in the 90s. On a 56k modem.It's not your fault. I get it. Business demands, shifting frameworks. But engineer to engineer here, I'm really gonna need you to start telling them no. It's getting embarrassing.

Is there a #microtonal #MusicTheory community on fedi? I'm looking for resources for ear training and building musical intuitions around temperaments generally, but also math like what number theory sounds like.Boosts appreciated, especially into the kinds of math/music/autism communities where the phrase "what number theory sounds like" doesn't seem all that strange.

In theory most instruments look like a pile of integer harmonics through a filter, right? And chords are consonant when parts play in small integer ratios—harmonics of some shared lower chord root. In some sense chord harmonics form a subset of the rationals.12edo tempers out intervals to 2^{1/12} semitones. So do we get anything musically if we analyze ed harmonies as subsets of field extensions, like Q(2^{1/12}) for 12edo?How do different field extensions *sound*?#microtonal #algebra
