got Gleam/Lustre into a VST/AU plugin :O by making js ffi bindings for the JUCE's JS API interface. i'm thinking i miiiiiight just go with this for building out the Kitty/GBA VST plugin. i'd definitely get from my figma mockups to there much faster lol

as someone who occasionally finds ASMR helpful for sleep struggle (screw the stigma, we've always been open about this w friends), and though i don't think any of the channels we listen to have been affected (emphasis: yet), this is extremely disappointing.

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Kind of a long post about rosetracker, that really should have gone onto our blog instead, and didn't feel like formatting into a 50-post Bsky thread blahaj.zone/notes/apfa7z... 🎀

**On rosetracker, our WIP DAW/Tracker** One of the tricky things about building a DAW that you're also using to write music is they are they require being in two different mindsets. communicating DAW...

did a quick cursory check on the state of FP/ADT in PHP… 8.0 - union types 8.1 - enums, intersection types, first class callables 8.2 - DNF 8.5 - pipeline operator |> still RFC: - tagged unions - pattern matching - there is an overaching RFC for ADT libraries: - crell/fp

it feels weird to call myself a chiptune artist. i've made dozens of famitracker covers, but barely made any original NES stuff. i've messed with SNES music since the early 2000s. i incorporate chiptune instruments into my music all the time. i write music for GBA that incorporates PSG channels,

I wrote an update on the dispute with Ruby Central over Bundler and RubyGems. I'm sad it's reached this point, especially since Ruby Central's conferences are a big part of what convinced me to join the Ruby community back in the day. andre.arko.net/2026/07/30/rub…

"But as a solo dev--" You must learn the power of your own limitations. If your art is crap, either get better at art, figure out a way to make its crappiness look intentional, or ask for help.

so far i made a very type safe midi file writer / parser in gleam (i still need to figure out a good boundary between enforcing File format correctness, or standards compliance (e.g., whether we accept well formed meta events, but say the tempo meta has 4 bytes instead of 3, or the EOT has data),

oh wow xenoblade 2 has hd rumble now

could be interesting

should i write a mahjong engine in gleam? i did one on observable (JS) many many years ago tho i did not complete it. i learned a lot of interesting things thru it tho. i think doing it as FP lang practice (and something i could potentially use for a server) could be neat

what surprised me is that i was sure if i was gonna get into BEAM it would be thru Elixir given our Ruby background.. but i have done a lot more in Gleam so far. it is very addictive, its type system is fun, and i didn't think this was the way i would come back to full stack web dev after many years

every australian is going to post about this bc we've never ever had these lmao these are common living in the US and initially thought it came from my US eSIM. scared the shit out of me.

one thing i wish Discord had on forum channels is [the ability] to show the most recent message of the thread in the threads listing

we collaborated on a track for this!!

Xenoblade 2 to me, is learning to break free from myself and start to truly live as a woman. It gave me the language to understand my trans identity, and I could not be more thankful. #blog #gaming #xenoblade

Reconstructing The Self

having Discord as like the single normalised way of active community converation is frustrating bc it is also where topical things just go to die if you're late to the convo, or in another time zone i think i just miss forums being more normalised as a space that exists alongside community chat

has there been any progress for adding accessibility features on web for custom drawn things like <canvas>? like an accessibility tree etc. i can't find much history about it beyond stuff like this 16 year old post webaim.org/blog/future-...

people's memories of the early 2000s are very different to mine. i grew up in nearly rural western sydney. things weren't necessarily better or worse, you can't compare such different experiences on a linear single property.

New Haven! I'm performing at Cafe Nine on Sunday 7/19! I'll be joined by other electropop acts, as well as @donutshoes.bsky.social (who may join me for a song :P) More info on my site: tvmanoise.com/live-dates

FluxCaster build thread! It's a self contained Bluetooth cassette adapter specifically for loading games on to older systems. It's got a Schmitt trigger onboard to tidy up incoming data, will pause automatically for the C64 and has some other bells and whistles. 🤓

gen ai talk is tiring. don't get me wrong we have a ton of rants about it and more to be had. they're usually better left for verbal conversation than in writing though bc it consumes so much of our time and energy and almost always don't end up posting it anyway. ✨

13 games later and i have finally gotten caught up with trails ✨

ok we put all the emojis into our bio. (our signoffs looks cuter on our fediverse acct tho hehe) ✨

would also like to be able to pin multiple msgs to our profile..
