Enter the #SVG #filter!

`feComponentTransfer` allows us to manipulate individual RGBA channels. In this case just the alpha (via `feFuncA`) by making all assembly pixels whose alpha is below `.5` fully transparent (alpha = 0). And all other pixels fully opaque (alpha = 1).

This makes edges jagged. 💀

Maybe not so noticeable in some cases, but it often won't cut it.

#WCCC #wccchallenge #Livecoding #CreativeCoding #Lines #collages

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “ #Morphing ”, EvolutionaryMorph uses #LiveCodeLab for the visual of the creatures and the audio. While integrating #Hydravideosynth code to act as the external force that applies the morphing patterns/cycles through layering and layering.

#Poetry
Morphing Into the next stage?
Morphing beyond the concept of Age
Morphing between the gaps in the pixels
The gaps in the glitch
Morphing from 2d to 3d through voxels
As the glitch wanders into the realm of which,
Which element will be infused?
Confused? As they stumble upon, An algorithm
That attempts to choose

It’s gross right? I thought these #blobs were only a #UK phenomenon. But then I remembered the old urban legends about pommies and soap and quickly contered that with the fact that they like their fish and chips, hence the blobs (no not Dr Who’s alien nursery ship blobs). So now I guess #Australia has it’s fair share of blobs because not only do we love our chipies but we wash more often than the poms.

Gosh, Australia we have a problem.

Second thought: What happens to these blobs? Where do they go when discovered? A recycling plant? Uploaded to the. mothership? What? What happens to them?

oldie but goldie: pixel blob fellas

back when I was on .social I said I would make more of these and then release them for free under a permissive license... So you know what? Let's do it now!

Give me recommendations for some custom blob emoji ideas and I'll try to make them!

#VersionManagement for binary files is hard; often we just consider them #blobs and give up. We use #DSLs to get rid of the blobs. Version control systems were designed for textual formats. No trees, no binaries, just plain text. At our customers we’ve often designed DSLs specifically to thrive in a version control system.

This post is the start of a three-part series. We’ll present how we’ve designed these DSLs, the benefits you’ll get, and how we migrated from existing systems to the DSLs.

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph: " #Old Work ”, ReReturnOfTheBlobs is a remix of one of the firsts WCCC submissions I had coded:

Remix is coded with #Hydra @hydra oplap.org #LiveCodeLab & #SonicPi.

Poetry

Blobs are blobbing
With hopes of their season
To perform their treason
But is there a way of it stopping?
Is there a way of it skipping,
Skipping a beat?
Or these blobs want to continue their treats
As they venture after their formation
Into the streets
Into the seas
Into the streams
To gather not only useful information
But to keep their blobbing
For more blobs to come in
And commence their flipping
as others prepare to slip in

Hi, ich hab eine vereinfachte Version von der Blenderdatei im 38c3 Styleguide gemacht mit Erklärung und co :)

A mí el proyecto @freedo (linux-libre) no me gusta un pelo. Quitan por quitar sin criterios técnicos.

A brocha gorda: el kernel linux es 100% software libre menos las partes (en su mayoría) que requieren cargar / subir un firmware a un dispositivo, al kernel o controlador. Los famosos #blobs.

#OpenBSD tiene una política más racional en este aspecto. El firmware que se conoce que se limita a cargarse en una ROM de un dispositivo no plantea mayor problema ético y de seguridad.
