And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :) The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better. #ansi #vt100 #terminal #tui #console https://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/795/990/583/356/746/original/5131229031a83c59.png npub1hdxatufd5e8q25m5mhpxw6yujucrx85rwh7rvegd23dty5nz0vsq5fuja7 ultrageranium La permacomputation est une littératie écologique · Entretien avec Aymeric Mansoux, par Servanne Monjour (2025) https://journals.openedition.org/revuehn/4747 Un peu plus tôt cette année j'ai eu le plaisir d'être invité par @nprofile…36ng pour un entretien publié par la revue Humanités numériques @nprofile…9a54 Un grand merci pour cette opportunité, sa patience (!), ainsi que le travail éditorial et de traduction.

It starts at 19:00 at the OCCII in Amsterdam. https://occii.org/events/book-launch-and-fundraiser-between-palestine-and-us-testimonies-of-the-2024-student-uprising-in-amsterdam/ "Between Palestine and us documents and recounts the student uprising in Amsterdam in May 2024. Denouncing the complicity of their university and government in the destruction of Gaza, student protesters and other activists rose up across the city. They engaged in massive protests, organized encampments and occupations, and built barricades wherever they went. At once an activist archive and counter-history, this book documents the events from the position of the participants. Through art and literature, in addition, it reflects on the necessity and limits of resistance, painting a stirring picture of international solidarity with Palestine." https://spookstad.boo There will be talks and music. #amsterdam #palestine #gaza #protest #students https://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/699/617/699/227/295/original/78f61741e7c529b0.jpg npub1hdxatufd5e8q25m5mhpxw6yujucrx85rwh7rvegd23dty5nz0vsq5fuja7 ultrageranium Hey everyone, the permacomputing principles have received an important update! https://permacomputing.net/principles/ :permacomputing: Next to our attempt to articulate things a bit better, we're now testing a new structure to give examples of how each principle could be translated into more concrete steps regardless of levels of technical skills and literacy. ⚠️ It's still a 🚧 big work-in-progress 🚧 , and for sure not the last iteration. :oh_no_bubble: This new text benefited from input, feedback and the writing/editing of: annaa @nprofile…2tdz @nprofile…5e4w @nprofile…wtdr @nprofile…68y6 @nprofile…7h98 @nprofile…8tva @nprofile…unzx @nprofile…75mc @nprofile…lz9w @nprofile…6pwu @nprofile…h7xf @nprofile…addp @nprofile…7cpy @nprofile…37n5 @nprofile…j62d @nprofile…npxu and myself.

But would it really compensate for all the assholiness Drew describes in this article? I think not. Billionaire money, although certainly long due for redistribution, should not be a way of passage downwards through the glass ceiling.

This treatment of music as nothing but background sounds—as interchangeable tracks of generic, vibe-tagged playlist fodder—is at the heart of how music has been devalued in the streaming era. It is in the financial interest of streaming services to discourage a critical audio culture among users, to continue eroding connections between artists and listeners, so as to more easily slip discounted stock music through the cracks, improving their profit margins in the process. It’s not hard to imagine a future in which the continued fraying of these connections erodes the role of the artist altogether, laying the groundwork for users to accept music made using generative-AI software." https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/ #music #spotify #playlist #labour #copyright #royalties #ai #streaming npub1hdxatufd5e8q25m5mhpxw6yujucrx85rwh7rvegd23dty5nz0vsq5fuja7 ultrageranium Photographer Disqualified From AI Image Contest After Winning With Real Photo (2024) “After seeing recent instances of AI-generated imagery beating actual photos in competitions, I started thinking about turning the story and its implications around by submitting a real photo into an AI competition.” https://petapixel.com/2024/06/12/photographer-disqualified-from-ai-image-contest-after-winning-with-real-photo/ #ai #photography #lol
