This article introduces a practical exercise to structure ethical discussion around emerging technology (i.e. AR/VR, BCI or avatars). Originally the work of @meshula, we iterated & expanded over the past few years and are happy to share it more broadly now blog.dimitridiakopoulos.com/2021/07/08/bla…

@paularambles Yay! The old description of the teapot was wrong and they’ve fixed it since my last visit

i found tpot at the computer history museum

@DShankar @OptimumTechYT please put a few more asymmetrical LEDs around the unit for maximum vibes

And, our "Crystal Clear" colorway is straight up ROBOCOP vibes. Do not f with @OptimumTechYT. I'm proud of the subtle design details, like the single RGB LED inside shining through the electronics and the clear shell creating a cyborg monocle aesthetic.

I'm so damn proud of our "Nuclear Orange" colorway for Bigscreen Beyond 2 We did NOT hold back. As much as I love minimalist aesthetics, I'm also craving something with more character and cyberpunk vibes. Our new headset – cyberpunk goggles – sticks out amongst sea of generic black consumer electronics. VR can be far more inspiring than a black brick on your face.

This is probably my last post here. It was fun while it lasted! bsky.app/profile/ddiako…

That feeling when you discover a new paradigm of using computers and it feels like you’ve used them wrong since inception!

If you never heard of SWG from "back in the day", this thread is probably not for you, but dang, wouldn't I love it if @raphkoster logged in one day to see all the people who desperately love one of the most unique MMOs ever designed.

If you've made it this far, you can certainly tell I'm pretty excited that this dead MMO still exists in a playable state, complete with active player cities and guilds, and fueled with modern community-building through Discord.

I've been playing a lot of the ill-fated 2003-2011 Star Wars Galaxies MMO (SWG). Every year or so I would check up on the SWGEMU project and they seemed to be making good progress re-engineering the game's backend...

@_deafbeef ahoy fellow blacksmith

Today's self care routine. Going to heat some steel and squish it. Then do some point to point soldering with fat wire. And then some microcontroller programming. Feeling grateful.

"You can't blame the computer; If there's no soul in the music, it's because nobody put it there". Relevant 27 years ago, and relevant today.

The simple explanation is that i’m just getting old. Caught myself today deeply in the zone with a “early 2000s trance bangers” playlist.

How do we understand pictures? This blog post explains key elements of perspective perception in art and photography, based on recent developments in human vision science and also computer graphics research. Based on my recent @ARVOJOV paper. aaronhertzmann.com/2024/10/07/pic…
