       my bio translates to "come, let's sit in the shade / this shade does not belong to anyone" from the inimitable ziad rahbanihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4q418uU4lA

       since november ive been putting together a memorial to the martyrs of gaza. it is complete enough that i am sharing it with the world this afternoon. boosts welcome.https://gaza.memorial/it is a simple list of the names of the dead read aloud, bearing witness to their loss, acknowledging each one of them as a complete human being, a story cut short by ethnonationalist projects and empire, someone who deserved more.

       @aparrish this stuff is so fundamentally not why I got into computer graphics. writing a byte into a framebuffer and having it show up on screen is fucking magic. putting some data into a buffer on a GPU and writing a shader and seeing something cool is fucking magic. waiting on an american corporation's black box to interpret "complex scene semantics" to decide what to display is depressingly empty. it's a man in the middle attack on the creative process and it fucking sucks.

       very good reference I got as feedback on my decentralized document system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tools_for_Conviviality relevant to people on this server and likely familiar to many but new to me!

       broken record at this point but hot swapping code in modern dotnet is so so so so good. i just livecoded a server spewing perlin noise derived values over a websocket for a project and never restarted, just modified the inner loop of an async function running on some thread in a thread pool, swapped out instantaneously after every edit. remarkable. i cannot wait to build a creative tech stack on this platform.
