Time for an (again) I guess!

I'm Emma. I make electronic as Deerful, and now also as heartsease. Currently I use the language ixi lang for most of my songs.

By day, I music subcultures and social worlds, online and off, and lecture. Right now I'm writing my PhD thesis on players in the UK.

I make *lots* of stuff, mostly music, but also /games/other stuff. You can see some of it at tilde.town/~emma/ or emmawinston.me.

Hi!

New episode of Too Much Not Enough! @deerful and I talk about the videogame Rimworld, which we have occasionally played together via video chat. As an added bonus, you get to listen to Emma* knife a killer robot to death

Also: we're going on hiatus because I'm ridiculously busy these days.

Hello, I have not been here much but re-emerging tentatively. I am playing an algorave tonight, at St James Hatcham in New Cross if you’re in London, 9pm GMT/1pm PST at youtube.com/eulerroom/live/ (where people are streaming live-coded stuff for 84 hours straight) if you’re not. If that’s a thing you are interested in and would like to see/hear.

hey so by request you can now screenshot the full-length text on this as well as the view square, in case you want to do something other than post your blackout poetry to Instagram/Pixelfed/somewhere with image thumbnails.

I made a little thing on Glitch for making blackout poetry, so you can be emo on the internet faster and more efficiently blackoutpoetry.glitch.me

Hey! There's a new episode of Too Much Not Enough! This week @deerful and I talk about what it was like for her to be a 12 year old girl making websites in the early 2000s. Subjects include: Neopets, tables vs divs, being cool enough to purchase a domain name, adoptables, blinkies, guestbooks, subcultural studies, and the allure of being horny on main.

Just in case it's of interest to anyone: my installation guide for the language has been updated, both with a link to my working standalone build, and step-by-step instructions for getting ixi working with SuperCollider on both OS X and Windows. emmawinston.me/2018/07/18/inst

Hey did you know that I do a podcast with @deerful where we talk about our obsessions? Well we just kicked off Season 2 with an episode about Fourier transforms, a mathematical concept that is apparently really hard to teach well. This does not stop me from trying to teach Emma in 25 minutes.

My parents are currently playing 20 questions; my dad has a ‘three wise men’ card stuck to his head and is going ‘I know there’s three of them and I know they’re men. What else is there to know? Are they sportspeople?’

My mum’s neighbours have possibly the actual cutest cats ever?!? I 💚 them.

At my mum’s for Christmas, and here is Rusty the cat. She’s super weird and I love her more than she loves me.

Friend Camp

The decentralized web is about trust. You should only join Friend Camp if you personally trust Darius Kazemi with your social media data. You probably only have that level of trust if we are IRL friends or have been internet friends for a long time. Generally speaking this is a small, closed community. In the end, Darius is the arbiter of what is allowed here. If you don't have a good idea of the kind of behavior that flies with Darius, again, you probably shouldn't join this instance. In the interest of specificity, we do have a code of conduct and privacy policy which you should read.

Friend Camp features several modifications that were requested by our users.

  • you can log in via any subdomain, which means you can log in to multiple accounts in the same browser session (for example, log in once on friend.camp and then as another user on alt.friend.camp)
  • they are no longer called "toots", they are now "posts"
  • if you have a locked account and you get a follow request, a reminder appears under your "post" button (on normal Mastodon mobile it is otherwise buried in a sub-menu and you might not see it for a long time)
  • the emoji dropdown is a neutral smiley face instead of the cry-laughing smiley
  • @mentions are rendered as "@user" for a Friend Camp user and "@user@domain" for remote users. This helps clear up when you follow two people who have the same username on different servers.
  • there is a "never ask me again" checkbox on the confirmation for clearing your notifications -- more info here
  • images in a CW'ed post are collapsed behind the CW. When you expand the CW, you can see the whole image immediately. more info here
  • When an mp3 link is in a post, we also embed an inline mp3 player. git commit here
  • 500 characters of profile text git commit here, requested by @deerful

Important Bit from the Privacy Docs

If you want decent privacy (the info doesn't leave this server), the only way to do that is to set your account to private, only accept friend requests from other friend.camp users, and only ever @ mention other friend.camp users. Once you start talking to people on other servers, all bets are off. Any private message you send to someone on another server could be looked at by the admin of a different server. This is kind of like email: if you are on a private email server, and you send an unencrypted email to a gmail account, congrats, Google now has the content of that email. But also, you do this every day, so, hey. The internet!
