Makes me feel like every computer build I’ve put together was designed a little bit wrong compared to the convenience of this configuration.

An alternative idea I explored as part of my design process this year, involving making the rack inserts translucent.

Here's the earlier stage of the project for reference, which was supported by last year's Summer of Protocols program: https://futurerack.info/main.php

Update on my FutureRack project to explore the re-use of server racks as furniture: earlier this year I worked with a client on adapting the idea for potential installation in an office, further developing the design and working with a fabricator to get it ready for production.

Good point where this is the kind of remixing that a human rather than an AI would come up with.

I’m still new to the platform, but at this point I’ve been here a few weeks without really learning what a token or a leaderboard is. I wonder if they’re more visible or prominent in certain apps than others, or within some community networks?

I’d be interested! Could do any of the days/times.

Love the idea! The concept of “cozy” has been kind of an unexpected touchstone in my mind for the last few years, and that seems to be a collective feeling that lots of people have.

It weirdly feels like the world has been slowing down in the last few weeks, at least at the personal scale of the events and activities you see in the world around you. Like maybe a collective sense of uncertainty is making people hesitate or pause.

(Obviously the art that people share will vary in terms of what it does for you and how you react to it. A lot of older art that people share feels like it’s stood the test of time, and that’s a lot of what I see. Occasionally something newer will catch my attention too.)

It’s neat how you log onto this site expecting to do more inane social browsing like you’d do on other platforms, but here people also post art. It takes you out of your routine a little bit.

The noises they would make felt satisfying, and the specific tactile experience they had. The moment when the tape would leave your hands as it was loaded in the machine.

I enjoyed Neopets, but it also felt like a little bit of a childhood introduction to how communities/platforms could decline (I guess what adults would call “enshittificatiion”). It seemed like over a few years there got to be more sponsored instead of original games, & like certain site mechanics were simplified.

I’ve tried to think about that phenomenon before, and I think that’s a big part of it. I was especially thinking about it spatially, like that a Zoom interaction combines some of the elements of being with people in a small room with those of being the center of attention in a bigger room. Within a big lecture hall you can feel relatively anonymous in the crowd in a way that doesn’t quite happen on Zoom where a view of every audience member’s face is given equal weight. (Maybe there’s a reverse panopticon element occurring too, since in theory everyone else in the room is capable of looking at you at any time.)

I have a theory why zoom is more draining than either in-person or audio only. Audio demands less social energy and delivers less social energy in return. In-person takes more social energy, but delivers more social energy, not counting travel. Both equations are balanced. Zoom requires more social energy, but doesn’t deliver more social energy. Let us delve further. Performing for a camera requires putting your whole 3d body in performance mode, same as being physically present with another person. But a person viewed through a small 2d window only delivers a fraction of the social energy they are generating. You’d need a social energy Dyson sphere to capture and remote-transmit at equation-balancing levels. This suggests VR with some sort of synthetic performance might be interesting. Not crude low-poly mannequins or high-energy mocap, but posture synthesized from voice alone. So I can voice-act my avatar to be actively present while I’m stretched on couch. The way I take most audio calls.
