@noondlyt imho social media was flawed long before corporatisation and that played a key role in the rapid enshittification. Its a case where faking it in 80/20 style is just not cutting it. We need to think more about which features of "real" social interactions help maintain some sort of sanity.

@noondlyt case in point: random people posting short opinions, with little context, to unknown audiences and random strangers seeing posts among the incessant firehose, again almost entirely due to chance, replying with their own opinions etc. 🤣
You couldn't design a more flawed, socially-illiterate system if you wanted to. Maybe there is something wholesome in the missing 80% of required work that would make social media viable, but remains to be seen (assuming the corporaticos allow it)

@sixohsix @mcc I would be shocked if RtMidi has a solution for this that isn't sweeping it under the rug and hoping nobody notices. MIDI is the old half-abandoned mall inside your computer.

@sixohsix @mcc but ALSA insists that there is a "now", and that "now" is a thing that is real and exists, and has a clock and that clock moves forward in fixed increments, and never throttles, and so on. ALSA, despite also having this concept of batched time in its audio processing model i'm pretty sure, does not seem to believe that midi would ever be processed precisely, or need a be sieved in ~0.02 second chunks.

È nelle stazioni di Luciano Erba (Milano, 1922 – Milano, 2010)
È nelle stazioni ferroviarie

@sixohsix @mcc not in a random userland thread at any rate. time is stretchy. now, the audio thread as it happens is a lot more precisely timed than regular threads, and you can say ah, I'm currently processing ticks N through N + 1024, where a tick is exactly 1/48000 sound card seconds.
-
@sixohsix @mcc this is probably fine in most cases since the events are expired as soon as they're created anyway. a midi packet is HOT HOT HOT and should be processed ASAP anyway. But WHERE is "now"? do you have a clock that if you sample it and then sample it again a second later will give you exactly a second of time between the two samples? no. you do not.
-
@sixohsix @mcc in theory you could build a sequencer that does the same thing as what alsalib does under the hood in the first scenario, but as far as I can tell you can't actually read a common reference point for a given event's time offset, so for all intensive porpoises you only have one time point for everything in both cases: "now".
-
@sixohsix @mcc option 2: you tell alsa you do not care about time stamps: alsa leaves the time stamps in messages as they were recorded if they have them. god help you if you have multiple MIDI streams feeding the same port, because they will either have "realtime stamps" which are time points relative to that the output queue that event was written to, or they will be in "ticks" which is the same thing except the duration is variable

I played #FrostPunk in the last couple weeks. Interesting game, as it combines the city builder mechanics with goals and endings, which I hated not having in Sim City back in the days.
The world is cool too, and the options are interesting if shallow (would you like to be a fascist or a religious dictator?).
The game is also intentionally frustrating which works with the setting.
It has terrible UX imo, but give it a try
