Do you have a Ko-fi? 'cause I would really enjoy that screensaver.

I adore this project on its own merits too because using the memory values in an emulated game is something that has fascinated me since Twitch Plays Pokémon integrated their Twitch display!

No worries, mate! When the popular narrative is "you can run Doom on a pregnancy test" your blind spot tracks.

By the bye, I know Foone hates their threads being posted here, so I won't, but I absolutely adore their hardware and software finagling. It's also made me a better developer!

I have a hammer and am looking for a nail, but every day something sparks Marshall McLuhan ringing in my head.

The medium truly is the massage. The physical form in which information is being delivered (screen with notch) is beginning to work us over on a concept as old as the terminal.

Yeah, Yakuake; TotalTerminal; and others kept the Quake terminal flame alive, but now that game UI choice interacts with physical reality!

Which reinforces my spicy take...

Spicy take: Skeumorphism is a necessary and probably effective guard rail against tech usage unmooring us from physical reality.

Plus, this augmented reality take on the concept is taking that idea to at least eight strange new places.

Thankfully you don't see an artistic representation of a 3.5 floppy representing an app's "save" function yes-and-ing people into messiah complexes and public mental breakdowns.

All that being said, I am giving this a spin when my work laptop arrives! (Worst case I use the, mostly(?), iTerm2 functional equivalent because that worked pretty well for my needs when I set it up many moons ago.)

Nice! This will make my podcast blog to RSS generator a whole lot easier since I just need to grab some headers from the MP3 in addition to info the the page.

Whoa! That takes me back. During undergrad I did some work on the KDT Python wrapper for CombinatorialBLAS.
