Dreaming of Gopher's Past with the Gemini Protocol.
Experimental protocols like Gemini (regardless of whether you care for Gemini) are good because these are coming from people still fighting the good fight of networked experimentation, Internet freedom, and technological exploration.
No clue how I landed on GQ.
Wholesome Windsor, now showing up on album covers and podcasts, has a surprisingly political backstory.
Global Socket allows two workstations on different private networks to communicate with each other.

Progressives who glorify meat consumption are doing free PR for a highly-polluting industry working tirelessly to keep polluting.
A wonderful term and supporting the right cause, although I miss any reference to how unethical mass meat consumption is nowadays.

Imagine you want to move an object around the screen. Animators will use keyframes and tweens to describe the exact motion. Generative artists instead rely on algorithms.
So what, something like math.random()?
Not exactly. Randomness is just too unnatural. Look at that pink ball, bouncing all over the place. It’s nauseating 🥴
Russia has been screwing Ukraine like forever. 😿
In recent years evidence (…) has emerged, pointing to an event (often masked as an ethnographic conference) that was held in Kharkiv, the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, in December 1933 - January 1934. Many itinerant street musicians from all over the country, specifically blind kobzars and lirnyks, were invited to attend, amounting to an estimated 300 participants. All were subsequently executed as unwanted elements in the new Soviet Society.
