…and do you think that you posting it has a positive, neutral or negative effect on the world?
By content I mean what ever you’re posting online. The pictures you post on Instagram/Pixelfed or messages you’re writing on Lemmy, YouTube comment section, Facebook and so on.
If you look back at what you have posted in the past year for example, do you consider it to be the kind of content that you would gladly consume if it was coming from someone else? If not, then why are you posting it in the first place?
My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.
My posts help people discover the game
MineTestLuanti. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.and open-source.
True. I don’t post the license prominently, but my comments are Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike
Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.
Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.
What made me think about this is my girlfriend, who is quite vocal about the harms social media can have on the mental health of young girls, especially when influencers post heavily edited photos of themselves and their lives, which for the most part are fake.
However, she’s active on social media as well, and being quite an attractive woman, she seems oblivious to what I consider a factual statement: her own content is also causing the same kind of concerns for other women who are not as genetically blessed as she is. What she’s posting is not fake, but it is heavily curated nonetheless. She obviously knows this herself, but do her followers?
I don’t personally follow her social media, but I’d be willing to bet she hasn’t posted about being sick for a week and not taking a shower for four days. I don’t mean that as a criticism per se, but I think it highlights how little we think about the effect our own content has on others while still being quick to judge others for what they post.

I hope that’s not the only lens you see the world through. I don’t think anybody else saw that comment the way you did.

Do repos on GitHub and assorted messages on text-based communication platforms count as content? Because if that’s the case, then all the time, because I generally write stuff down in case I proceed to forget exactly what that function did or why I calculated this bypass coefficient like this or why for the love of fuck does vivado keep reverting to incremental synthesis and how did I fix it last time aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
As for if my random technical nonsense has any bearing on the world, not really, outside of maaaybe the demoscene if the SID stuff works out, and the few people who like reading my ramblings for some reason.
what’s incremental synthesis ?
Aa far as I’m aware, incremental synthesis is vivado trying to build a new FPGA bitstream by modifying a snapshot of the previous build, to ostensibly save time. Because the SID FPGA implementation is a relatively small part of the MEGA65 core, it really likes to forget to add any changes I make, especially related to timing optimization (it took me so long to figure out it had re-enabled itself, after disabling it my total negative slack was cut in half due to it finally registering all the pipelining and other optimization). I’ve also had vivado outright lock up with some cases.
Thanks, that clears it up
Just joking, I love that you explained further but to be honest I still have no idea what is going on, haha. The bit about “modifying a snapshot of the previous build” sounds like the idea behind binary diffing?
Ok, I looked up Vivado and now I have a better idea. A field very alien to me but fascinating to hear about
FPGAs are good fun, and some of the stuff I’m working on in particular gets even crazier. My current project is emulating a partially analog soundchip (the 6581 and 8580 SIDs) with 32 bit integers, because FPGAs can’t do analog. The best part is, it actually (mostly) works. Still have coefficient issues with the RC circuits, and the Rf1 and Rf2 voltage-controlled resistor coefficient tables need to be recalculated, but it’s already looking pretty good.
Good fun lol
Are you trying to replicate functionality from older hardware ?
Correct. Goal is to emulate the SIDs, and the filters are analog, so analog simulation is required.
Yes, and I often reread my own comments and feel a deep sense of satisfaction.
You’re not alone in that.
I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.
(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)
My toxic trait is never posting anything I wouldn’t want read aloud in front of my grandmother.
