GrandPerspective

grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

Making Music Visible: Singing in Sign (Published 2021)

www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/arts/music/asl-music-deaf-culture.html

A good A.S.L. performance prioritizes dynamics, phrasing and flow. The parameters of sign language — hand shape, movement, location, palm orientation and facial expression — can be combined with elements of visual vernacular, a body of codified gestures, allowing a skilled A.S.L. speaker to engage in the kind of sound painting that composers use to enrich a text.

This article used to be published on AMP, by the way. No longer! Tells a lot about AMP reliability.

A forum for the fedidevs. What's funny is this notice it shows on my outdated Safari:

This sentence contains to a funky website that recommends some browsers. Links2 is not there for some reason.

I should join the forum though, as I'm a proud fedidev now!

One billion, one continent

gemini://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/one-billion-one-continent.gmi

Solderpunk came up with a different way of portraying the future of humanity in sci-fi. Slowly move everybody to one continent. Most people live in 50 megacities. We live and degrowth as long as we can. A fun concept. I myself like space conquering more, to be honest. Maybe combine the two?
