HOLY SHIT I can't believe how fun that set was. it's 2.10am and I'm still buzzing.
my absolute honour to close out Nullsector and, I suppose, #emfcamp as a whole.
massive thanks to @solexious and @DanHatesNumbers for running lighting and lasers for it, the visuals looked incredible.
#nullsector, it was my absolute pleasure to draw pretty patterns in the air for you all tonight while @gsuberland absolutely smashed the closing set of #emfcamp at nullsector tonight! What an incredible experience 🥲😁
8 Apple II classic games. One floppy disk.
Enjoy the latest programming miracle from 4am and Qkumba.
or rather "cameras have arbitrary genders and you believe it's somehow less arbitrary in people? get outta here"

It’s fascinating seeing notifications for boosts here, where something you wrote a year or two ago will suddenly be found by someone, who boosts it, and then a little flurry of other people do.
It really makes you realise how much recency bias there is in most other systems, including most web forum software. Sometimes that’s useful (I don’t want obsolete solutions to be highlighted in preference to the ones that actually work), but it also makes writing there seem ephemeral. Here, a conversation can start up after two years of silence when someone comes up with something new to contribute. And that’s incredible.

"Those little white flowers you see here are known as the Arctic mountain heather, and they are highly toxic to this little pika.
Collared pika create what we call haypiles under the rocks that will serve as food for the 9 months of winter they endure beneath the snow. That’s 9 months of dead rotting plants for fungi, bacteria, and other parasites to completely destroy. That is, unless the pika layers toxic species like this arctic heather through the haypile.
This particular species of flower releases its toxic brew of phenolic compounds into the the pika's cache of food as it begins to break down. Those very same toxins, it turns out, are a natural food preservative that kills the very fungi and bacteria that would otherwise ruin an entire winter’s worth of food for the pika. And amazingly, by the time the pika makes it down to these layers, those toxins are completely harmless to the little mammal.
None of this is by accident. Researchers have documented that not only are pika meticulous at how they layer toxic plants into their haypiles, they use different species, with differing levels of toxicity, at specific levels through the cache to ensure that their food is not only well preserved but also timed to be edible for themselves as they work their way through it.
This is the most sophisticated pharmacological knowledge and behavior ever documented outside of humans."
