So it's 2023 & I'm freezing this account! It was a hard decision & I gonna miss many of you, but this platform just isn't what it used to be and not conducive to the signal-to-noise ratio & exchanges I'd like to see in my TL. We can do better, elsewhere! → @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng

Happy New Year everyone - may we all do our bit to not turn this into another train wreck and allow ourselves (and each other) to live up to our full potential! Be the light! ☀️

Hi all! It's only a matter of time now until my accounts will be suspended for "violating" the newly introduced policy outlawing links to other social media accounts! I don't know why people put up with this & other recent stuff, but I can't & won't support this any longer...😢🫡

One thing I absolutely love about #RetroComputing: Witnessing the positive impact of time/age and the exponentially larger amount of available knowledge, community/ies, references and resources has on quality and richness of productions...

Per-shape & on-the-fly polyline clipping against arbitrary(*) polygon boundaries. Still need to extract this to be also more usable in other usage contexts... (*) I'm sure there're edge cases for which this will break, but it should be pretty stable for what it's intended...
