I was talking about solarpunk today to my partner and we decided to read the solarpunk manifesto.

http://www.re-des.org/a-solarpunk-manifesto/

Have any of ya'll read it? What do you think? Does it represent "the solarpunk community" ?

i made a more merveilles style avatar ^__^v

@autophagy @royniang @kor spent 5+ hours last night going through various project's ya'll have put online. i am feeling very inspired, excited, existential, emotional 🌱

i wanted to say: thank you for putting so much of yourself online - from the photography to wiki and trackers and software and iot and so much else ✨ i hope you have a fabulous week

Kind of interesting to see where this instance is situated to the rest of the fediverse

this museum looks amazing. especially the digital design and architecture related stuff

Added some more stuff on learn-orca! This part on percussion is pretty fun I think https://metasyn.github.io/learn-orca/#percussion

Also added a link for people using no script so you can read the static version.

I've been always intrigued by video game design but have never really taken the time to learn. I'm a software engineer and feel comfortable learning new languages, but the guis kinda terrify me. I kinda feel like I should just bite the bullet and learn unity or something.

Does anyone here have recommendations for making your first game? Everyone always says to start small. It's funny because when I talk to people about my interests they're like... Why don't you make video games 😂

I spent a bit of time actually adding some content to this learning orca site.

https://metasyn.github.io/learn-orca/

I also added most of the examples from the repo & made some snippets runnable like you suggested @neauoire

I started making an ORCA tutorial site. I also rigged up enfer to work in the same browser page ^___^

@neauoire <3

Tested out an idea to get PILOT working in the browser today ^__^ its kinda hacky but it works @neauoire

Trying to find a way to side step midi & UDP at the same time so I can just run pilot & orca in the same web page together 🤔

Does anyone here have experience mocking/virtualizing midi instruments?

Found this: https://github.com/WebAudio/web-midi-api/issues/45

but feel like I might end up just doing some disgusting navigator.requestMidiAccess() patch and injecting a fake midi output

I love the keybase exodus haha and I am going to follow suit. I actually only used then as a way to link/prove my Identity across services... But I realized I could just have links to and from a central website which basically functions the same. It doesn't have any cryptographic elements to it but at least you can sort of confirm it's the "same" metasyn 🤔

ORCΛ on the top of HN! nice @neauoire

i've been thinking lately about making a little tutorial A-Z site for all the different orca functions. i realized i could iframe in the web version of orca to show what an example looks like, but now am realizing that as someone new to orca, you kinda of need to have a synth attached to it to get a feel for what it might do.

i looked into pilot and seeing if could hack it to work in a browser, but feels like it might not be a great fit per se
