So, there's a constellation of concepts around web stuff that we all seem to care about: low- or no-JS, minimalism, brutalism, RSS, organic (as opposed to algorithmic) discovery, decentralization, offline-first, ownership and control of data, anti-telemetry-ism, etc. What are some terms or movements or design principles that encapsulate these ideas?

Whoa. This is nuts! From a Reddit post I found today:"In July 1997, Wired ran a cover story predicting 25 years of vast global economic expansion that would bring increased prosperity, an improved environment, and unprecedented opportunities to achieve social justice. They also published a list of scenarios that could stop that progress." [See attached image.]Source:Wired magazine, July 1997https://archive.org/details/eu_Wired-1997-07_OCR/mode/2up

@liaizon The few fedi instances I've tried have been warm, safe spaces away from the insanity of the big social media sites. That's success, isn't it? But it just doesn't match capitalist definitions of success, which is completely fine with me.

Merveilles, I need some help. I've got an audio file, and I'd like to make an EQ visualizer that's rendered out to disk as a video. Currently, I'm using Processing. I read in the audio file, run FFT on each video frame's worth of amplitude samples, draw a simple bar graph as a visualization, and save the image to disk. Then, when it's all done, I use ffmpeg to join the audio and the images into a video. Now, that all works, but it's VERY slow. Do you know of anything better suited to this task?

(Just to clarify, I actually run FFT across all amplitude chunks *before* starting the drawing process so that I can just have all of the FFT results in memory. But I'm not sure that this is any faster than running FFT immediately before drawing on each frame since the primary bottleneck seems to be writing the image to disk.)

I had known that Mastodon provides an easy way to get an RSS feed for any user's public posts, but it only occurred to me today to see if it would work for public posts that reference a specific hashtag — and it does! Just like with users, all you have to do is add ".rss" to the end of the URL. For example, here's the RSS feed for [#]theLudarium:https://merveilles.town/tags/theLudarium.rssYou all probably already knew that, but I thought it was pretty cool! :)
