So, with a not-too-gnarly Dockerfile and a shell script chock full 'o hacks, I got a Logo program run recorded as a video

Not too bad for an afternoon's hacking. Could use a few more tweaks and then an attempt to wrap it in a mastodon bot. And maybe some attention to security so Logo maniacs can't escape the sandbox and hack my Gibson

Tempted to include the Logo program source as the caption for the video upload when the bot drafts its toots

Could look something like this? Might be an ugly abuse of the media description though

@Lowie@universeodon.com I can hear this gif

It's also been a loooong time since I last really tinkered with Logo. Need to find some more example programs. But it's nice that this particular dialect has a very comprehensive manual.

@tim IMO, it can be and is in fact both!

@tim I respect your energy

@craigmaloney I will say my 3DS and Wii (not-U) were super easy to jailbreak/softmod, so 🤞 they keep working indefinitely for me

😂​ wrote a little bit in my journal today about calamity vs prosperity and which is more likely vs which gets more of my attention - and how it might be a Necker Cube situation where it could behoove me to try to flip my perspective

... and then one of the first things I see in work slack this morning is news of more layoffs :blobwhee:​

I mean, seriously, is the leadership at every tech company spending their evenings reading the CIA's SIMPLE SABOTAGE FIELD MANUAL for tips on how to fully dissipate any non-cynical enthusiasm or productivity that might remain in their organizations?

Like, I'd call out my employer in particular, except that it seems to be happening across the industry as an ongoing experiment in fuckery

@Macross @thegibson The antiques we received have gone very well with maple old fashioneds

@thegibson @Macross

@CAETFOOD One extra, at least

Just had a meeting where someone said I'm a calming presence in the room.

And, I was like "oh, nice, I'm glad to help! 😁" (internal screaming 😱)

Also had a few folks in meetings today ask me how I'm doing with the layoff news and I was like "well, you know, I've been through them before, trying to abide amidst fuckery. How are you doing? Anything I can help with?"

This seemed oddly reassuring to folks?

@TheSteve0 Yeah, I'm like careful not to suggest I know whether or not any of us will still be here in a few weeks, but also they're not going to literally execute us. And also it's not awesome, what's happening

@TheSteve0 Oof, yeah those are definitely higher-impact experiences 😅

Switched my desk to standing for a few meetings. The boy #cats have claimed my chair & writing table and the hoodie I was wearing.

I guess I'll just keep standing and find another hoodie.
