All of the articles I see about MOOs do mention gender politics because the most significant event to happen on LambdaMOO was written up in a Village Voice article called 'A Rape in Cyberspace.'

What the Rolling Stone article about the same MOO mentions is that one of the victims switched gender on a day to day basis. Sometimes she was the name and pronouns that were attacked but sometimes he was Derrida and sometimes [they] were the other option available on that MOO, which was "neuter".

But also writing about all MOOs by writing about that one MOO is a bit like writing about fedi by writing about mastodon.social.

The MOO where I had wiz powers had many gender options and maybe a dozen active players. And like one person who may have been a cis man who only showed up occasionally to help the root user debug.

MOOs were a special kind of social community, but the specialness was only in the platform. The people and the group formations were a mirror of 90s culture. There were queer spaces in the 90s, so there were queer MOOs.

All MOO articles not about the flagship one seem to be about education platforms. Maybe nobody cares, but I feel like there is some missing history.

New video! The pump in my ZD-915 desoldering station stopped working! Let's investigate and try to fix it!

As usual we've been a little quiet on social, but still making plenty of progress and getting close to finally being ready for a proper alpha phase. Here's a little preview of our most recently implemented skill called Drawing #Magic, which includes enchanted #tattoos that have different effects when touched!

Hyvin itsekkäistä syistä huolettaa somen perseytyminen myös: Runous ei hirveästi huomiota välttämättä saa, ja aika moni ihminen on Etäisyys, leikin ja Minuus | Miinuksen äärelle löytänyt nimenomaan somen, erityisesti kirjagramin kautta. Hankalalle tuntuu tästä eteenpäin. Ahdistaa.

I've always wanted to make a MUD/MOO. But I think a MUD in 2025 would go over about as well as a silent movie. There's literally no audience for it.

Human by chance, coder by choice.
During recent days, I've been coding #C++, #Swift, #MOO, #Python and #Rust. I always spend my holidays coding the weirdest little things, some of which end up being used and some not. On top of that I handle my #Linux #sysadmin stuff on a #server I host, the components of which (the server) have just been drastically upgraded. I changed everything except for the case. I would probably use Linux as my home system if there weren't some things that I haven't yet found how to do as a #blind #screenreader user on Linux. #Fedora is my main #distro. #RPM for the win!

Just #Linux terminal things. #Debian #Ubuntu #APT #moo #cow #ASCII

Okay I am hearing your RESOUNDING SILENCE
so I wrote a README and I encourage you to follow Egbert's lead as a hashtag game on the mastodon, tagged with #lispmoo2jam ; in which case I will add you to the honorary jam roll and your constructions to the git, and update the current map, like I did for Egbert.

#lisp #sorta
My very own #computingRevolution. It feels like that anyway. I guess I'm just cyber-spatially organising #commonLisp code in a #moo #VR ? Is this revolutionary or passé?

Anyway it took form in the quiet ending of #autumnLispGameJam #lispGameJam .
In the article, instead of attempting to 'play my game', I make a counter object containing a common lisp closure @verbed into it that I pick up and use a few times.

I have wed MOO/reality and common lisp images.

@mdhughes do you (or anyone) have a #MOO / #MUD client on iphone or ipad? *chatter is asking for suggestions in #lambdaMOO

In my defense, it's almost Halloween, Mya is a black& white dog, & I know how to crochet.

It will definitely look better when I attach the ears!
#Moo

I plan to teach a course next semester on interactive programming (ideally in residential environments). I am looking at using Medley Interlisp, some Smalltalk (maybe Squeak?), and I'd like to use a MUD/MOO. It looks like as far as retro-MUDs, LambdaMOO is the ticket. Is anyone aware of a modern MUD engine that is _fully interactive_ like LambdaMOO is? (By which I mean, not like Evennia where you write Python _outside_ of the MUD and then load it in.)

- all things are lisp symbols in packages with plists. The plists are the data.
- There's the app ( 'core' ), player, room, item objects (~classes with command table twins)
All further changes are basically just feature objects and replacement classes in the #lisp moo or fixes.
Calling it #moonclimb
Works both in the repl and in the clim gui. The repl is surprisingly nice.
