People outside of Montreal: "Wow! Montreal's snow clearing does such a great job! I wish my city could do that!"
Montreal: "We give up."
Thing I want to exist but don't want to build: a #mud that does pretty much the same thing as #SillyTavern or #agnaistic, intended for selfhosting. A MUD would be an excellent interface for #AI assisted #roleplay. With #Evennia and #OpenRouter, this honestly wouldn't be that hard. I just hate #Python and don't wanna.
The way to do it would be:
1. Set up a #docker#Evennia environment, to make distribution easy.
2. Add an attribute on Evennia accounts to hold an openrouter API key, and a userflow to get a users key via OAuth: openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/oauth-pkce3. Use the #OpenAI Python API and hook it up to NPC's to let them chat, generating responses with the user's API key. Figure out function calling and hook it into the various creation functions of Evennia for extra fun. Probably need to store attributes for what models and parameters to use on each NPC, with global defaults probably from the user's account.
4. Dump the room name and desc, the player desc, and chat history into the AI context.
5. Something something MSP/MXP and ElevenLabs for sound effects and music.
6. Something Something MXP for images.
7. Dockerize the thing and upload it to let users run there own muds for AI roleplay for themselves and their friends.
If I either liked Python or was unemployed, I would do this. If only AI coding was good enough to just make the thing based on my design skeleton above.

Stuff for later in the roadmap:
1. Group rooms, objects, and npcs into worlds. Add a keyword attribute on rooms, objects, and npcs. Scan input for keywords and dump matching objects, names, and descriptions from the current world into AI context. Now we have lorebooks.
2. Figure out how to import and export worlds (with all npcs/objects/rooms). Now we can build a world hub to give people starting worlds like AI dungeon does. Maybe have worlds marked public or private? Public worlds can be accessed by all accounts on the server? Copy the world on modify I guess.
3. Some kind of time based trigger system or fuses or something? That way AI NPCs can act automatically to feel more alive.
4. Some sort of method for players to upload images and files? Maybe it just follows and ingests URLs.
5. Some way to have a global OpenRouter token and resell credits? Tie into squarespace? I dunno. But that's the way to make money for people who want to support the project and/or not sign up for openrouter themselves. Also quota for storage or number of worlds?
I don't know none of this is happening anyway so it doesn't matter. I just can't stop thinking about it so I'm getting the ideas out of my head.
Da der Staat sowieso kaum mehr als eine Exekutivgewalt für Big Business ist und der Staatsapparat sowieso längst mit Konzernen verschmolzen ist, ist es nur konsequent, dass ein Organ namens Staatsschutz tätig wird, um Konzerne wie Tesla und Elon Musk gegen lästigen Aktivismus zu verteidigen.

Finally getting around to re-posting my 3rd Rock Radar #mixtape, which I originally created in 2023. Still, welcome back to the best new music you’ve (mostly) never heard! This collection represents music that resonated strongly with me during my last few months in Croatia.

Two things that confuse me in Visual Studio Code to this day are, for one, the tabs versus editor groups concept. Are the tabs purely a visual thing, and each file gets its own editor group automatically? Or can an editor group have multiple open files, AKA multiple tabs? Somehow these seem very closely related and overlapping, but somehow also confusing if you can't see things visually.
The second concept: Multiple Cursors. Can I even use these as a blind person, and if so, what would I use them for? And how would I use them with the keyboard? Replies welcome.

The 2 deadlines to remembers:
- June 28, 2025: all new developments must comply (yes, even if it’s as small as changing a button).
- June 28, 2027: existing services must comply (so you have 2 more years to make your whole current site/app compliant).

“New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code | N’s Blog”
JFC. Reading this just as I'm feeling especially discouraged about staying in coding was probably not a good idea.
Something’s been bugging me about how new devs and I need to talk about it. We’re at this weird inflection point in software development. Every junior dev I talk to has Copilot or Claude or GPT running 24/7. They’re shipping code faster than ever.N’s Blog

Internet Underground Music Archive in 1994
By early 1994, the Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA) had migrated from Usenet and Gopher to the emerging internet platform, the World Wide Web. It was one of the first multimedia websites.
Meanwhile, over on Twitter/X, sending links to connect via #Signal are blocked and marked as malware.
I am sure this is just an unfortunate bug ;)
