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

Installation remains incredibly buggy and incredibly broken, and I remain unsure why, but I am hopeful the new guide will make it a little bit less frustrating.

My big dream is to take over maintenance of it so that none of this is necessary, but that's a far-future plan and one I don't currently have the skills for, or the time to acquire said skills. Watch this space though.

The SuperCollider version linked may or may not work on Linux, also, by the way. I have no idea. If you try it, it'd be cool to know if it works on other OSes too!

@deerful "it seems to work for most people, but it probably shouldn’t!" resonates deeply with me.

@bcj please please let me know how you get on if you try it! I feel like my documentation is still really unclear and am kind of relying on seeing where people get stuck to clarify it, lol

@deerful Sierra problems, ~2016, dragging elsewhere to fix it... sounds like this “App Translocation” situation I was just dealing with days ago
lapcatsoftware.com/articles/ap

Two fixes seem to be: drag app to another folder, or:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Whatever.app

@ryantouk the signed production release doesn't work from any folder I've tested, including Applications - but to confuse matters, it works fine for some people, including the original dev.

My old version doesn't install anything/need signing, but is no longer linked on the dev's website. I've given up hoping he will rehost it, but it works basically fine for now, so I'm just distributing it myself. More user friendly than making beginners run terminal commands too.

@deerful Maybe I’ll try both versions (introduced by the podcast!)

@ryantouk (at some point I really want to take over maintenance of the software but I currently don't have the skills or time to. hopefully one day this will all be moot though!)

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 @emma

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!
