If you're into protocol design, and are a fan of Gemini or the small web, please take a moment to check out Robin Sloan's "Spring 83" protocol, and maybe shoot him an email.It looks really awesome, and I'm excited to see where it goes.https://www.robinsloan.com/lab/specifying-spring-83/

I got a spam email today containing only this image. It wasn't even for tracking because it was embedded as a data URI.

TIL Tesla vehicles have no LiDAR, and are just driving off of cameras and AI. Madness. Explains why they have so much trouble distinguishing lightly coloured objects, like the sky and the side of a truck.

Instagram is the antithesis of the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well. And all together, the disparate features almost work. I'm reminded that Linux doesn't follow the Unix philosophy either.

So is Dwarf Fortress on Steam gonna be worth it? Or should I get into the game now and not wait?

> The opportunity before us, as investigators and experimenters in the 2020s, isn’t to make Twitter or Tumblr or Instagram again, just “in a better way” this time. Repeating myself from above: a decentralized or federated timeline is still a timeline, and for me, the timeline is the problem.Yes please! More radical social networks! Break down the old structures, and build the new in strange and cool ways.

Playing Dwarf Fortress for the first time, it's pretty wild. Been following the quickstart (https://www.dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Quickstart_guide), but if anyone has other resources for me to check out let me know!
