f4mi↗ is this creative mind throwing absolutely gems to the internet. Probably most known by her videos usually related to 00’s tech and hacking vibes projects. The entry title is from this time she built her own webcam↗ but just make sure to follow her brain. Highly recommend joining her Discord server↗ as well.

After Meta announced that it will allow users call LGTBQ+ people “mentally ill”, now its deleting posts with links to the decentralized competitor Pixelfed. Siren Servers against humanity, once again.

Found myself digging further about Mark Fisher↗ and his acclaimed blog k-punk↗ Go for it if you find radical politics and music within your interests.

A vast collection of Kaomojis↗ (Japanese Emoticons); the best emojis.

Alway a good time to remind that The internet didn’t kill counterculture—you just won’t find it on Instagram↗ Go look for those Discord channels you like, engange in communities, start your own site.

Easy entry point for the most famous philophers and their theories: Action Philosophers↗

Nonetheless, my fav is still Existential Comics↗ impossible to beat that one.

[D] Twin Peaks is a world, and I love that world and I love that world. It’s something that is like a magnet. It’s to go back in there.

[P] Did you have any idea when you were creating Twin Peaks how this would tap into the public Consciousness?

[D] No idea. But number one thing is to do what you believe in and do it the best you can. And then um, you see how it goes in the world. I get ideas in fragments, I always say. It’s as if in the other room, there’s a puzzle, all the pieces are together, but in my room, they just flip one piece at a time into me and a first piece I get It’s just a fragment of the whole puzzle, but I fall in love with this fragment.

[P] Yes. Yes.

[D] And I love this fragment and it holds a promise for more. And I keep it, I write it down. And then, I say that having the fragment is more bait on the hook. And it pulls in more, and the more that come in the more faster the rest come in.

David Lynch + Patti Smith

Fifty years ago, the Arecibo Message was sent—a human attempt to contact whatever might be out there, potentially listening in space. It consisted of numbers, formulas, and representations of ourselves, as well as a depiction of the telescope from which it was sent, located in Arecibo.

I love the idea and its aesthetics—I guess because it reminds me of my beloved Game of Life↗ It makes me wonder: would it be possible to recreate that exact drawing from one of the initial configurations?

From there, I did a quick search for various messages humanity has sent into space in hopes of finding life.Voyager Golden Record (1977), Cosmic Call (1999), the Teen Age Message (2008), and perhaps one of the oldest and most famous; the Pioneer Plaques. As many have pointed out, the Pioneer Plaques offered a vague representation of humanity’s cultural and racial diversity. The depiction of the woman’s body notably omits genitalia, making it feel incomplete. While searching for a more accurate or inclusive representation, somehow I ended learning about the project by Joe Davis: Poetica Vagina↗

In the 1980s he came up with a project that records the vaginal contractions of ballerinas using a “vaginal detector” built in a laboratory of mechanical engineering. […] He used electronic music software in order to match the the frequency of the contractions to the English speech. He then transmitted the sounds of vaginal contractions to the nearest star systems.

I’m just not really sure what to think about this project at all. Lets pass to a brief musical break: Vèjula - Merope↗

Hack&Tell #100 at C-Base↗ Its cool because its as informal as the past editions, just slighty longer due to some delay in the pause. They are doing some printings to whoever brings a t-shirt, so its totally understandable. At the beginning there is also a nice recap with photos from the very early editions, and some memorables moments that are shared from fixed attendes. The project that won is QR-DICE: 6-side QR-cube↗ and it just blown our minds.

The algo did its job cos I recently finished Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will by Robert Sapolsky↗ and this conversation about free will between Robert and his love-hate nemesis, Daniel Dennet, appeared on my feed. Watch it here↗

Terrible weather and even worse politicians have devastated part of Comunitat Valenciana. All my love to the marvelous people that live in that beautiful part of the world. ♡

Listening: Carcáscara - II

These are definetly a worthy words put together by Margaret Killjoy↗ about one of the sweetest, charmest and most brillante humans we had have so far; Ursuka K. Le Guin. We will remember freedom↗

On this new approach looking for a better web, [matrix]↗ cross my path. Im just leaving the link here for the future me to take a look at. I still need to study better the real differences from the protocols Activitypub (Mastodon) and Atproto (Bluesky).

After some time collecting and filtering throught some german youtube channels, I think Maithink X↗ is one of my fav so far.
