Viruses so far have been really disappointing on the 'disable the internet' front, and time is running out. When Linux/Mac win in a decade or so the game will be over.

Network [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Megan looking at a large screen with many green and red squares. The squares have writing in them and lines connecting them.]

[Side view. The screen is a huge LCD connected to a wireless router.] Cueball: Pretty, isn't it? Megan: What is it?

Cueball: I've got a bunch of virtual Windows machines networked together, hooked up to an incoming pipe from the net. They execute email attachments, share files, and have no security patches. Cueball: Between them they have practically every virus.

Cueball: There are mail trojans, warhol worms, and all sorts of exotic polymorphics. A monitoring system adds and wipes machines at random. The display shows the viruses as they move through the network. Growing and struggling.

[Cueball walks past the girl and touches the monitor.] Megan: You know, normal people just have aquariums. Cueball: Good morning, Blaster. Are you and W32.Welchia getting along? Cueball: Who's a good virus? You are! Yes, you are!

Any fun computer facts for this Friday afternoon?

Yes!!!!!!!

ClearType, introduced for Windows XP, was made for LCD screens. I love it and think it’s very neat.

These screens have pixels, which each can display one color at a time, right? Little square. But each square, in order to display any color, has three subsections: red, blue, n green! So each pixel can be subdivided into three smaller pixels.

So, at small font points, some letters were not super legible, bc the constrains of pixels at that size made them look clunky or too similar to other letters. ClearType helped clarify the shape of these letters by only using portions of each pixel, instead of using the whole pixel. This made the font look limned in colors, instead of flat black type, but made smoother and clearer shapes!

Individualist mind set is a fucking plague on the environment. I swear to fuck.

If I buy a new item of clothing I don't really need it has less environmental impact than the tens of thousands of items that go from manufacture to landfill because being without as a corporation is a worse sin than over producing and writing it off as a tax loss. The clothing I buy doesn't last a season cause it's made cheep, disposable, and not made for it. There's, like, 3 shops in the entire city centre that carries clothes in my size. What fucking choice is that?

If I let some food go bad in my fridge cause I forget about it it's not got SHIT on places like fast food places not even letting their staff eat left over food, it all has to be tallied to see what is wasted and then disposed of in the bin.

If I leave a light on in a room while I go to pee it's got fuck all on all those skyscrapers in every city across the world being illuminated all night while they are completely empty. It's got shit on Times Square and Piccadilly Circus advertising in vibrant LCD screens all day every day.

What the FUCK does my TV on standby have to the fucking huge mega servers used exclusively for trading bitcoin and NFT's back and forth for theoretical money?

I light a barbecue with friends or family. The government debates opening a new coal mine in my country for the economic benefits it will bring. It will bring jobs! The kind of jobs that can disable you, shorten your life expectancy, make someone else rich, and set a country on fire with climate change. I should really consider that charcoal on the barbecue and the co2 I'm putting out, shouldn't I? Maybe I should plant a fucking tree.

Like yes, there are things we can do as individuals, but they don't work because an individual has done it. It works because 15,000 individuals have done it. It's not individual action. It's collective. Embrace your inner fucking ant and lift with your fucking knees bro.

post to collect my thoughts on small computing constraints

I have 4kb of RAM available. I want to have 1kb of it available for the running game (stack, static allocation, etc), and the other 3kb for video memory.

The LCD screen that we're painting to has its own controller so we don't have to keep track of the current frame - just what we intend to send to it next.

I have 240x240 pixels to draw to, which is 57600 pixels - even if we're using 1 bit per pixel (monochrome), that's 8 pixels per bit, or 7200 bytes, way over our RAM limit.

Instead, we will change the screen via a list of changes we intend to make (delta), rather than rendering what the whole screen should be in memory at any given time (double buffering).

We need to keep track of each position that changes - X position, Y position, and the new color it should be set to (R, G, B) - that's 5 bytes per pixel. Given 3072 bytes of memory, we can change 614 pixels per tick, or about 1% of the screen.

Instead, let's use a color palette. Since arcblip is pretty simple, it only needs 4 colors maximum (black, white, red, ???). So we can use 2 bits per color, instead of 24. So, for a pixel, we need 16 (position) + 2 (color) = 18 bits for a single pixel.

18 bits is awkward. Let's update 8 locations (2 bits * 8 bits/byte) = 16 bits for colors. So each delta covers 8 pixels, starting at location X, Y

With 16 bits of color data alongside 16 bits of the position, we're getting about 32 bits, or 4 bytes for 8 pixels, or 1 byte for 2 pixels. With 3072 bytes, that's 1536 bytes that we can manipulate per frame. That's uhhh... 2.6% of the frame.

Wait! Since we're only using the X axis, we only ever set the X value to a multiple of 8. So we can shave off 3 bits for the position, so we're down to 29 bits...

I'm too drunk for this

someone do the work for me to show that some square of X by X dimensions is optimal citing some insane assembly on the NES is why this works and how it's trivial

Are there any lines or scenes in WMAS that you're really proud of that you wanna shed a spotlight on?

this is a hard question bc wmas is smth i like to call an ensamble fic (its literally just pov alternating) so it kiiiinda doesnt narrow ANYTHING down for me in terms of specific scenes.

hm. you know what? lemme show you smth.

(taken from ch 1) Uncle Michelangelo said that the old New York could be really pretty. There were so many lights that made the fog glow a brilliant color that makes everything magical. Quieter, he told Casey that there was always a person behind those lights. Someone was always adding to the beauty.

(taken from ch 2)

He takes his time turning around in place, seeing the tall battered buildings covered in bright colors of paint. Greenery of plants overtake the sides of buildings, framing the bright formless graffiti, the dull grey of concrete to something colorful. It clings to the bricks in a relentless enduring grasp of life. From the windows of the buildings shine lights through them. Multicolored, like they are the LCD screens from Times Square. It’s bright. There are no people, the city is in shambles, but it’s still alive. 

oh yeah the dreamscape is a fucking call back lads. and let me tell you there are more in the fic

(taken from ch 4)

Raph lets out a breath. “That’s going to be hard to find. Some of dad’s old stuff is still in the old lair and we haven’t really… cleared it out the first time.”

(taken from ch 8)

“Is there a reason why Dad and April came back into the lair covered in debris looking upset?”

i keep a lot of details in my brain (dming dnd for my friends trained me whether i liked it or not)

(taken from ch 1)

“Never will the Hamatos continue to live to be sacrificed, not if I have anything to say about it.” Splinter pokes a finger to April’s chest, right above her heart, “I will hold our family close and never let go.”

(taken from ch 3)

Splinter had to think about death a lot recently. Forced to, really. He’s had to think about death a lot in his life in general! It clings to the very fiber of his being in a way where every bad coping mechanism looks just a little too tempting to take up on. Then the Shredder happened, something he thought was complete and utter bullshit that took his mother, seemingly, for no reason. The Hamato legacy he grew up to resent came back to haunt him with a ferocious force, and it hurt his boys. 

(taken from ch 4)

Splinter was so adamant about giving her a second chance after the fight with Shredder. He saw himself in Cassandra in such a personal way that no one else in the family would get. He was willing to let Casey stick around close too. He saw himself in the Joneses that she can never really understand. April doesn’t know the full weight of what it’s like carrying a legacy. She shares that burden with the boys, but to bear it alone like Splinter did, like Casey has been, like Cassandra is doing now?  Fuck, man. How lonely does that feel?

(taken from ch 7)

The hovering and the mother-henning was annoying, sure, he'll give you that. The fact that he had to see how each of his family members grieve over the choice he had to make to save the world? Absolutely hellish, would not recommend. He can see how much it haunts Dad. He can see how much it weighed over his siblings. They all know that it was do or die. It doesn't make the choice any less harder to bear.

something about fucked up legacies, something about generational trauma, something about trying to break a cycle when everything in the world is not letting you

Supreme Previews Spring Summer 2023 Collection, Includes Supreme Tamagotchi

It’s official! The rumors were right, there will be a Supreme Tamagotchi. Today, Supreme announced their Spring Summer 2023 collection on their website, which includes clothing, accessories, and more. The rumored Supreme Tamagotchi has made an appearance and is confirmed to be official.

That’s right, the Supreme Tamagotchi is included in the Summer Spring 2023 preview on page 35 of 51. There are three shells total which all feature P1 programming, and are all different colors of camouflage. Although no official names were announced, the shell names should be Gray Camouflage, Pink Camouflage, and Green Camouflage. The iconic red Supreme logo lists across the top of the screen. Buttons on all three shells as well as around the screen is black. The wallpaper behind the screen also features the Supreme logo center around the iconic P1 wallpaper of the pink and blue squares.

Supreme lists the product as “Supreme/Tamagotchi, Digital pet with custom logo shell and LCD display”. How iconic? No further information has been provided as to where we can buy one of these, or even how much they will cost. Supreme merchandise definitely comes with a hefty price tag.

The packaging is also gorgeous as it corresponds with the camouflage design on the respective Tamagotchi shell. As we find out more information we’ll be sure to keep you posted. This might just be the hottest Tamagotchi this summer!

49: Shopping // The Official Body

The Official Body Shopping 2018, FatCat (Bandcamp)

If they ever tour again, London dance-punk trio Shopping are the kind of band you should drop everything to catch. I saw them on a stacked bill at Toronto’s Baby G in 2018, supported by Detroit experimental garage punks Tyvek and local emo act Feels Fine, and it was one of the sweatiest, most pogo-powered gigs I’ve ever been too. Shopping have a kind of loving telepathy onstage, exchanging lead vox, lacing together jittery high-stepping funk rhythms, and constantly cracking each other up. The last show I had tickets to before the pandemic lockdowns set in was a Shopping gig at Montreal’s La Vitrola with (adequate) electroclash act Automatic and (much-missed) post-punkers Dishpit that was rescheduled, rescheduled, and finally canceled.

That anecdote’s emblematic of the way the pandemic hip-checked a lot of the best indie rock bands of the late ‘10s just as they were building momentum, especially those who thrived on word of their live prowess to entrench their reputation. There hasn’t been much word from the Shopping camp in the past coupla years, which blows because they also really have the goods on record. The Official Body, produced by Orange Juice’s Edwyn Collins, is the successor to ESG that the early ‘00s Rapture-Franz Ferdinand-LCD Soundsystem revival never really provided. Guitarist Rachel Aggs, bassist Billy Easter, and drummer Andrew Milk are all beasts on their chosen instruments, and the sound they make together has something of the endless party vibe of African highlife or soukous music. They’re a little more lyric-forward than ESG ever were though, kissing off the square world with a stream of deadpan personal-is-political sloganeering.

Collins has an unfailing sense of Cool, and his production helps Shopping sound like the kind of band that will always be in style. If their lyrics’ hyper-concern with the body and telling the straight world to keep its hands to itself will date-stamp it to a certain cultural moment, it will be in the same way Gang of Four’s talk of Armalite rifles and warfare on 18-inch screens does—speaking in specifics about concerns that are endemic to life in western society, while agitating always to change things for the better.

I would argue the Windows 95 one is scarier, because it's basically the same thing, right? it just dims the whole screen?

BUT NO! Windows 95 doesn't know that it's running at high enough color depth to even DO that, and calculating that would be slow anyway, this is an OS that can run on a 25mhz 486. So it cheats.

It's "screendoor transparency". It's a checkerboard of black squares. It's relying on the human eye to see that as dimming and not a grid. And it works! mostly. Especially on a relatively blurry CRT, since you wouldn't really have an LCD in 1995.

But it really messes up with text. Thin pixel fonts were all the rage on windows 95, which had a default resolution of 640x480. And a pixel font + a checkerboard grid?

The text bleeds. It becomes a blurred mess of difficult to read random pixels. On a nice photo background, it's just dimmed. On text, it feels like you're losing your mind and your literacy. Your ability to read is going away.

And Windows 95 just wants to know...

When I was little I had an irrational fear of when you tried to turn off your Windows XP and the screen would gradually turn Grey as you choose which power option to enter

That shit was SCARY!!!

i think the tv throughout is just a mirror. like, when owen/Isobel (sp?) is revisiting the pink opaque on the lcd, and turns it off, and looks at herself in the dark square after, looking towards the audience, her gaze perfectly in parallel with ours behind the 4th wall, and wonders why the show sucks now. like, isnt she choosing death by trying to become the person her dad wanted her to be? it's just a reflection of her, still

like when she's discussing the show, the whole movie, shes discussing her transness, or the seed experiences that allowed her to begin to understand her transness, right? it isn't about the text of the pink opaque at all and that's part of why we the audience see so little of the "cannon" pink opaque, bc the literal text of it is beside the point, unimportant. whats important is how the show showed her part of herself, how it reflected parts of her she didn't understand yet but long felt

and then in the final scene, we the audience see the tv inside her in the mirror and we've all come full circle, no longer needing the screen of the kids show at all, only the naked truth of it. i find it significant also that she looks at the tv glow in the mirror (instead of seeing a mirror in the tv as before) AND also just looks down, at herself, the most connected to herself she has ever been, seeing herself in a way we the audience cannot: through her own eyes from her own body. and there, in that moment, it's like she doesn't need any of the mirrors at all because she knows herself for real

i saw the tv glow is so concerned with gaze, and so good at choosing when to confront the audience with that amd when to just let us sit. so many times watching this film i felt suddenly and uncomfortably seen, like pinned to the wall, by somebody who had stood where i stood and knew about my bullshit. it had a horror movie sense about it, making me want to hide from that sense of being seen and then allowing me as an audience member that breathing space before yanking it away again.

i put it to you that the televisions are not the only persistent metaphor for mirrors throughout. also interesting bc mirrors, like tv screens dont just transfer the gaze but transform it -- things are backwards in the mirror, things are distant on the tv screen. there may be something to unpack there too

there is something really compelling to me about owen’s dad always being at the tv, and then when the dad dies, owen says something along the lines of “i have to become a man now” while deliverymen put a tv on his porch.

which is fascinating because the pink opaque was such a real, tangible, life-giving escape — but here, for the dad and for adult owen, tv is now a death / “becoming a man” / keeping people back from choosing life. anybody got any thoughts on this?
