@ariadne I think that it's now basically impossible to have a slop-free system is arguably worse, but this is definitely up there. Recently wanted to look something up for which didn't yet know the exact terms, all I found were AI generated SEO spam articles about using AI to increase SEO.

@riffraff @bert_hubert the only good LLM policy is to outright ban anyone dumb enough to use them 🤷‍♀️

@sci_photos hatten wir letztens auch. Die ganzen sympathisschen, vergilbten ur-alt Telefone sind jetzt im Ruhestand und dafür haben wir diese neuen Ethernet-Dinger. Besonders nervig im Büro und Labor, denn da hatten wir vorher eines mit kabellosem Handset.Jetzt muss man sich komisch verbiegen um gleichzeitig Telefon und TEM zu bedienen.

@neauoire are the fonts in the turye git repo also under the MIT license? I am using the UF2 format for a project, bundling a modified version of one of them as the default font and I want to do the attribution correctly

@oxo writing a window manager for river (https://codeberg.org/river/river), currently working on a menu bar(-ish) widget. It is using the uf2 font format from the uxn ecosystem for text drawing.

I can use the control-character part of the UF2 font to store icons :)

WM menu bar thingy. Has WM actions, window switcher and window actions.

Still need to draw a proper background, but that's for tomorrow

that was simple

of course way more limited than using the "proper" font drawing stack, BUT it's entirely slop-free and you can use the turye font editor to make your own! There are some really neat uf2 fonts (can't remember the last time any TTF font actually intrigued me)

So UF2, the font format from the uxn ecosystem, is quite simple to implement in C as well.

Finally some simple text widgets are coming to my river WM :)

A UF2 font file has 256 characters. I could use some of those for other assets as well, like icons.

@neauoire oh that's neat. So it's samples, but you have control over attack, decay, sustain, etc..

How do you generate the samples?

I have been playing around with synths the past year; the idea of programming an entire song, not just tracking but also samples, in uxn sounds appealing. This might be what finally gets me into uxn.
