       (suddenly realized yesterday why it's called catwalking, it's completely obvious once you know how cats walk - think paw prints in snow)

       @neauoire hehe. yeah ok but the argument is likely that it's too high level, right?

       @neauoire ok but that's just what i contest. the "cretins" that it might attract might still not be average enough.

       @neauoire @mcc heh. evergreen quote. but i like to think i'm about to crack it. might still take 1-2 years.

       @neauoire @mcc the key is datalog. i saw an inkscape in there, a game engine, a database system, the important bit is flattened composition, and a visualizable approach. hard to explain. i go entirely by intuition.

       it was supposed to be a joke about historians not understanding the past but as i now know there was some truth to it: digital camera colors were still quite bad in 2012, and color post processing helped hiding the lack of fidelity.#score_0_up

       back then i really only made posts when i thought they were supergood, different to the utter crap chute i'm running today, so these are in direct succession.the second one takes a moment, but you'll find it is an excellent improvement upon poppers' paradox.#score_0_up

       a thing that we often did back then was to take sayings and spin them a little, with varying success. #score_0_up

       @mcc i kind of forgot that in my early 20's i had already figured out how and why paid software would never be truly reliable. it's a fundamentally doomed model. i argued this fervently with my colleagues. but we all worked for software companies, and their success depended on not taking me seriously, so they preferred making counterarguments until i thought "maybe it doesn't matter after all".
