    Artificial Intelligence.

    Very probable, but I could also see this as a societal shift. Maybe when the world becomes so selfish and cold that they can't really care for another person (which, I think is the biggest problem with most relationships anyway, but those people are the type who can never take a look in the...

    Anybody notice a trend of statements with question marks?

    I think it's to add dramatic effect? It does seem kind of snarky when it's out of context, now that I just did it :D. I also might be wrong or misinformed, but Reddit does feel like an awful lot of bot / echo-chamber activity, lately. Everyone kind of writes and reacts in the same fashion...

    hello everyone besides my autism I have this in real life

    Same here! I keep trying to get better at math, and... I apparently don't know when to quit :D

    Perfectionism

    Sometimes practicing making mistakes helps. I know it sounds crazy, but doing something you know you're not good at, or just kind of winging something (bonus points if there's a low-pressure audience you can trust watching) can help. Seeing your mistakes through and realizing all humans make...

    Social Media and texting 😜

    Sounds like my adaptive strategy, too, based on past (perceived) failures. Sometimes someone writes me a long text, I write a long text back, and then I just get, "Cool, man". Then I spend the rest of the night wondering how I could've done things better. If anyone were to ask, "Hey, what's...

    Getting Lost

    From what I've read, most of this has to do with taking longer to recall some words on the fly and things like that. Also, considering the idea that almost everyone has already had covid (even those of us who tested negatively), the world has almost certainly been reduced to befuddledness (is...

    What if "The Bloop" was real?

    Even though I can't hear it, I've been a bit fascinated with the hum™ since it drives so many people crazy on a regular basis. That and the sky trumpets still seem to have no known origin just yet, which makes them a bit mysterious. Also, the drones over NJ, but that one isn't very audible 😎

    Fractal animation and explanation

    That actually kind of terrifies me in an existential way. Some people theorize that the mandelbrot set is 'god's fingerprint', and I kind of like that idea, even if it's based on our faulty human logic. The idea that these systems perhaps exist in an infinite space somewhere (not just on our...

    Fractal animation and explanation

    I love your fractals! Weirdly, sometimes you can pull off really optimized stuff when you're writing your own code and doing it yourself. A lot of the higher-level abstractions and frameworks are calling libraries and packing loads of blocks of code (sometimes even thousands) into each project...

    Apps to become more organized and tidy

    I would definitely agree that throwing more tech-related things at the problem might not be the best solution, at least for most of us (if the goal is to kind of get away from that world for periods of time while we do other important tasks). What helped me to 'stay organized' (or: get things...

    I tend to blame the incompetent people who created pointless constructs like that in the first place, but I agree. Unfortunately, most of the tech world is kind of consumed with the lowest common denominator trying to make things difficult for the rest of us.

    Post music you've made!

    The Devil's Jumbler, by Breath Of The Abyss Not sure if this will embed here, but Soundcloud has recently started making everything sound like butt, so it's time to migrate!

    Has anyone here besides me ever been ghosted by a friend before? I just want to know that i'm not alone in this, if others can relate to me.

    I've been on the 'ghosting' end many times, so maybe my perspective can help a little. Honestly, it's almost never personal -- anyone who does this likely has serious issues, especially if there's no falling out or they can't tell you face to face what's going on. They're probably dealing with...

    8 bit graphics on python

    Pygame is also pretty easy to use for some people, but I'd only recommend that one if you're already well-versed in Python already, because otherwise there are a lot of standalone scripts you need to borrow in order to get really basic stuff working. Closing a window, for example, requires you...

    8 bit graphics on python

    Oh, nice! I highly recommend MicroStudio, if you've ever heard of it. The language is even simpler than Lua or Python, and it even has inbuilt sprite / map editors to get you started. I've done some cool animations for people using it, and it's all free. It can be used on the web or as a...

    8 bit graphics on python

    Pygame has a whole graphics library, if that helps. Processing also has a Python mode, and it's built for graphics. If you're looking to make sprite sheets or something though, there are plenty of easier ways / better engines to do this in without having to pencil in squares on a grid, so to...

    I Decided to Do Something to Benefit my Social Anxiety.

    I have to say that this is a pretty good idea, for real. I started up a Youtube channel and got it rolling pretty well over the course of a few years, did a bunch of lengthy livestreams in front of people and all sorts of stuff in order to challenge my SAD. Honestly, it felt like 'public...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    What's interesting is that there's even a specific IDE that's tailored to Raspbian setups (which should be the easiest route imaginable), but the back engine (probably Supercollider) always has trouble getting in touch with Pulseaudio, and there's usually a lot of audio crackling. Eventually the...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I also have an ongoing issue on multiple setups where the DSP summing just falls apart when listening to Spotify or Youtube music and doing tasks like coding or web browsing simultaneously, almost like the audio threads have to specifically pause while other things compute. There's something...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I'm going to unintentionally open up a can of serious nerdery here, but contrary to popular belief, most musicians are actually not audiophiles or audio enthusiasts in the slightest, even though it seems like they almost should be. That's not to say that they don't enjoy their music, but their...
