monocultured

Nice reference – thanks for the post!

I was taken by Christopher Priests book The Extremes and sat down to write a blog post about what compelled me so much about it, and wanted to add some gifs to it. In particular the "deja vu" scene from The Matrix, but I couldn't find it, and I no longer have an old version of Photoshop around to create the gif myself, and three weeks (and many tokens later) I'm finishing up an xcode MacOS native app that is dedicated to generating gifs. I've still not written the blog post.

Hi all,

Fun to see my small project end up on hn. I think the project page and the blog post outlines most of why I'm doing this, but I'm happy to answer any questions or such. Cheers.

I would love an updated KDX/Hotline server running an a RasPi or similar at home. This was a solved problem 20 years ago. The migration to online based platforms will always lead to network effects and enshittification, for very little gain.

I switched to Capture One a couple years ago and like it - used Lightroom Classic for many years before that, and think I've tried most DAMs over the years.

Oh fantastic – great find. I actually started recreating these in Figma to use in some nostalgic designs, but now I don't have to – yay!

May I offer you an animated shovel NFT that will cement you as an early trailblazing thoughtleader in the earth-moving space?

Any particular pavillion you were thinking of? I just got back from the expo and thought of them more like tourist board exhibits...

Mind you, the queues were atrocious and I saw much less than I'd like.

This tickles my nostalgic bone.

I ran a Hotline server in parallell with KDX for many years. Came in handy when studying abroad and I wanted to access my files. KDX had screen control as well, which I used to freak my brother out by recording messages and having them play when he was asleep… Good times!

I enjoyed having a "home" online where I could invite friends and strangers – it was so much friendlier than irc.

Did the same – added CV, blog & Linkedin – and their gushing review was even more supportive than my mom!

It's such an incredible flex to have a design system and brand guidelines for a calling card, side of van, oh and here's how to apply logo on a rocket btw.

Love these old design systems and how prescriptive they are.

This sounds interesting but the description goes way over my head. Anyone care to explain in layman's terms the concept and the non-obvious benefits?

Thanks for the link. That was a very well written and succinct description of some of the features of patriarchy - well worth the read.
