This is very, very big: Those are some of the most significant people that have put WordPress where it is right now. And this is a huge step towards breaking the Monopoly held by one of the project cofounders.
And I still don't know how and what does it means, but the Linux foundation backing it up feels huge.
Antes de falar sobre o que é Misceverse (frequentemente também alternado com Miscecanis/abreviado como Misce), é preciso explicar um pouco sobre o que é o Omegaverse (também popularmente conhecido como universo A/B/O, abreviação de Alfa/Beta/Ômega).
O Omegaverse é um tropo sexual em que as pessoas têm papéis biológicos definidos com base em um sistema hierárquico. Nesse sistema, existem três dinâmicas principais (também referidos como “gêneros secundários”), cada uma com suas próprias características biológicas e comportamentais, muitas vezes semelhantes às de animais. A própria terminologia é inspirada em um estudo antigo sobre o comportamento de lobes — embora esse estudo tenha sido baseado em uma compreensão equivocada do comportamento lupino e, portanto, não seja cientificamente acurado.
Nesse universo, quem ocupa o topo da hierarquia são ês Alfas, que costumam apresentar um comportamento dominante e temperamental. Biologicamente, quando excitades, Alfas podem desenvolver um "knot" (estrutura de tecido erétil no genital de mamíferos canídeos), que facilita a impregnação de Ômegas. Essa função pode variar de acordo com a adaptação de cada autore, mas não é exclusiva de Alfas designades homens ao nascer.
Betas ocupam uma posição subordinada em relação aês Alfas na hierarquia e são considerades como tendo uma "biologia normal", sem as características presentes em Alfas e Ômegas. Em termos simples, seria como se Betas fossem como nós nesse universo. Elus geralmente têm uma personalidade mais calma e conciliadora. Em algumas versões do Omegaverse, Betas podem engravidar Ômegas, mas isso varia de universo para universo.
Ômegas estão na base da hierarquia, geralmente retratades como submisses e doces. Elus podem engravidar e entram no cio. Ômegas perissexo designados homens ao nascer podem ter a capacidade de se auto-lubrificar e serem impregnades por Alfas. Frequentemente são retratades como frágeis.
Esses papéis costumam ser bastante deterministas, mas há pessoas que tentam romper com essas convenções em suas histórias, questionando a ideia de que tode Alfa precisa ser agressive, tode Beta precisa ser pacificadore e tode Ômega precisa ser submisse e inferior aês Alfas. Também há narrativas que rompem com a ideia de que Alfas só podem se relacionar com Ômegas (e vice-versa), criando histórias com pares como Alfa/Alfa, Ômega/Ômega e outras combinações.
Além disso, existem obras que exploram dinâmicas alternativas além das três principais, embora essas outras dinâmicas tenham papéis menos definidos. O Omegaverse é um universo rico e diverso, que não pode ser resumido a um único formato ou interpretação.
Misceverse
No dia 23 de junho de 2020, ê usuárie do Tumblr “spaceyomega” perguntou por uma tag específica para pessoas interessadas em adaptar elementos do Omegaverse ao seu dia a dia, desejando uma forma de conectar-se com outras pessoas que compartilhassem esse interesse. Logo em seguida, outre usuárie chamade “pack-the-pack” sugeriu que elus usassem os termos “miscecanis” ou “miscelupis”, cuja etimologia vem de misceo (misturar) e canis (cão)/lupus (lobo).
Supõe-se que, a partir daí, as pessoas passaram a usar o termo Miscecanis (mais comum do que miscelupis) no Tumblr para se referirem àquelas interessadas em adotar elementos do universo Omegaverse em suas vidas. Isso inclui pessoas que se identificam como alfas, betas, ômegas (ou com outras dinâmicas), e que utilizam terminologias próprias desse universo — como a ideia de possuir um scent (aroma específico e pessoal), fazer um nest (ninho — geralmente associado a ômegas), adotar dinâmicas de grupo semelhantes às de uma matilha (pack), entre outras práticas.
Em 6 de setembro de 2023, pack-the-pack criou uma bandeira Miscecanis com os seguintes significados:
Verde-azulado: simboliza o Legado. O legado que recebemos enquanto comunidade ao longo dos anos, bem como o legado que deixamos para as futuras gerações que possam encontrar conforto e/ou acolhimento no omegaverse e no estilo de vida miscecanis.
Turquesa: simboliza a Fluidez. Não apenas do conceito do Omegaverse em si, com sua natureza em constante transformação, mas também da comunidade miscecanis e de seus indivíduos.
Branco: simboliza a Liberdade. A liberdade que muitos de nós sentimos ao nos identificarmos como Miscecanis. Liberdade que pode aliviar dores, sentimentos de inadequação e disforia. Liberdade para sermos quem realmente somos e sentirmos o que realmente sentimos.
Amarelo: simboliza o Orgulho e o Amor-Próprio. Ao nos identificarmos como miscecanis, nos amamos mais do que odiamos aqueles que nos odeiam e ridicularizam todos os dias. Ao nos identificarmos como miscecanis, nos amamos por quem somos, apesar das percepções negativas.
Dourado: simboliza a Comunidade. A comunidade que construímos para nós mesmos, baseada em apoio mútuo, amor e aceitação.
Roxo: simboliza a Unidade. Unidade entre todos os aspectos citados acima, assim como unidade de espírito com nossos semelhantes miscecanis.
A Lua: Nem crescente, nem minguante — a lua em quarto crescente virada para baixo representa ambos os estágios. Simboliza Renascimento e Introspecção do Eu ao mesmo tempo.
A Estrela de Quatro Pontas: representa as três dinâmicas clássicas (Alfa, Beta e Ômega) + as Dinâmicas Terciárias. Os pequenos picos entre os braços da estrela representam as experiências intermediárias entre as dinâmicas que também existem em nossa comunidade.
Sobre a proposta inicial do termo, o blog “miscealignment” (também administrado por pack-the-pack) explicou o seguinte:
“At first it was more just people that performed as their chosen dynamics as a form of self-expression and as you said it, finding comfort and happiness in what Omegaverse-aligned behaviour could offer them. But as more and more people flocked towards the term, the more I noticed that it wasn't just people essentially role-playing, but people who genuinely identified as one of the dynamics. Either as a part of their gender identity and expression, their sexuality, or both.”
Tradução:
“No início, era mais sobre pessoas que performavam suas dinâmicas escolhidas como uma forma de autoexpressão e, como você disse, encontravam conforto e felicidade no que o comportamento alinhado ao Omegaverse poderia lhes oferecer. Mas, conforme mais pessoas se aproximavam do termo, fui percebendo que não se tratava apenas de pessoas basicamente interpretando papéis, mas de pessoas que genuinamente se identificavam com uma das dinâmicas, seja como parte de sua identidade e expressão de gênero, sua sexualidade, ou ambos.”
O que inicialmente era visto como uma forma de roleplay acabou se tornando uma comunidade de pessoas que genuinamente se identificam com os elementos e dinâmicas do Omegaverse.
Mais tarde, o termo Misceverse passou a ser adotado como uma alternativa mais inclusiva, voltada a pessoas que se identificavam com o universo, mas não necessariamente com comportamentos caninos. Com o tempo, surgiram termos específicos relacionados a outros animais, como Miscecuniculus (relacionado a coelhos), Misceavian (relacionado a aves), além de variações inspiradas em seres fantásticos, como sereias, fadas, vampiros, entre outros.
Mais explicações
Em 6 de julho de 2024, ê usuárie “lepus-fangs” fez algumas perguntas para a comunidade, em busca de informações para fazer um carrd.
As perguntas eram:
Qual é a principal diferença entre miscecanis e omegaverse?
Como posso descobrir se sou miscecanis? (Ou por onde começo?)
Como você sabe de qual dinâmica você é?
Por que as pessoas se identificam como miscecanis?
Se cada ‘verse é diferente, como faço para descobrir o meu?
Como as pessoas sabem qual é o scent/aroma delas?
Qual é a diferença entre miscecanis e roleplay?
Miscecanis é inteiramente relacionado à sexo/fetiche?
Preciso entender o omegaverse para ser miscecanis?
Em relação à primeira pergunta, ê usuárie “winreyplace” respondeu:
→ “Omegaverse is a fiction trope and universe and miscelife is a lifestyle and identity for real people! (Note: miscelife can be written into stories, but it won't be written the same as omegaverse is because it would instead be a mundane/regular life au with humans identifying with miscelife)”.
→ Tradução: “Omegaverse é um tropo e universo ficcional, enquanto a vida misce é um estilo de vida e uma identidade de pessoas reais! (Nota: a vida misce pode ser incluída em histórias, mas não será escrito da mesma forma que o omegaverse, pois se trataria de um universo alternativo mais mundano/comum, com humanes que se identificam com a vida misce”.
Em resposta a segunda pergunta, elu respondeu:
→ “Anyone can be a part of miscelife if you relate to or feel drawn to the lifestyle either via reading omegaverse fics and wishing life was a little bit like that or stumbling into it through alterhuman experiences or whatever else!”.
→ Tradução: “Qualquer pessoa pode fazer parte da vida misce se sentir afinidade ou se sentir atraída por esse estilo de vida — seja por ler fanfics de omegaverse e desejar que a vida fosse um pouco parecida com aquilo, seja por chegar até isso através de experiências alterumanas ou por qualquer outro caminho!”.
A resposta para a terceira pergunta:
→ “First of all, even though Alpha, Omega, and Beta are the most common, there are many other designations out there too! I'm personally Aegafluid! To figure out what designation you are, I'd start exploring what instincts/experiences feel like you and what is the reasoning behind them. There are NO rules, no miscelife police, so whatever you feel is what is true for you, you don't need to fit into a box!. Example: Do you like soft things and nesting? Why? If it's because you like the safety, comfort, and burrowing, you could be an Omega. If it's because you like creating spaces for your friends/partners to nestle into or like to imagine making a really good nest for your mate/pack, you could be an Atypical Alpha. Or you could be an Aega like me!”.
→ Tradução: “Primeiramente, embora Alfa, Ômega e Beta sejam as designações mais comuns, existem muitas outras por aí também! Eu, pessoalmente, sou Aegafluid*!
Para descobrir qual é a sua designação, eu começaria explorando quais instintos/experiências parecem ressoar com você e qual é a razão por trás disso. Não existem regras, não existe uma “polícia da vida misce” — então, o que você sente é o que é verdadeiro para você. Você não precisa se encaixar em uma caixinha!
Exemplo: Você gosta de coisas macias e de fazer ninho? Por quê? Se for porque você gosta da segurança, do conforto e da sensação de se entocar, você pode ser ume Ômega. Se for porque você gosta de criar espaços para que sues amigues/parceires se aconcheguem, ou gosta de imaginar que está fazendo um ninho bem feito para seu par ou sua alcateia, você pode ser ume Alfa Atípique. Ou você pode ser ume Aega, como eu!”.
Aega é uma combinação entre alfa e ômega. Alguém que é Aega-fluide seria alguém que possui uma identidade fluída.
A resposta para a quarta pergunta:
→ “Well, I identify with misce for a number of reasons:
• I munbonded with my werewolf munbonds, Li and Theo and developed pack and mate instincts from being with them!
• I enjoy omegaverse stories and find them both comforting and hot.
• I'm into primal kink both in a nonsexual and sexual way.
• I'm a bunny alterhuman and a lot of bunny behaviors include things like scentmarking, nesting, and finding your bonded pair!
• I'm autistic and nonverbal communication and atypical ways of interacting with the people I love come very naturally to me.
• I'm hypersexual from a history of trauma and the omega heats/alpha ruts make a lot of sense to me and makes my trauma response feel less distressing to me when it's reframed in a biological need and instinct.
• Did I mention the nesting and scentmarking haha?
Basically, any reason can be a valid reason to like the misce lifestyle!”
→ Tradução: “Bem, eu me identifico com o misce por vários motivos:
• Eu estabeleci munbonds* com minhes munbonds lobisomens, Li e Theo, e desenvolvi instintos de matilha e de parceria por estar com elus!
• Eu gosto de histórias de omegaverse e as acho tanto reconfortantes quanto excitantes.
• Eu curto primal kink*, tanto de forma sexual quanto não sexual.
• Eu sou ume alterumane de coelhe, e muitos comportamentos de coelhes incluem coisas como marcação de cheiro, fazer ninho e encontrar seu par ligado pelo vínculo!
• Eu sou autista, e formas de comunicação não verbal e maneiras atípicas de interagir com as pessoas que amo são algo muito natural pra mim.
• Eu sou hipersexual por conta de um histórico de trauma, e os heats* de ômega/ruts* de alfa fazem muito sentido pra mim — eles tornam minha resposta ao trauma menos angustiante quando são reinterpretados como uma necessidade e um instinto biológico.
• Já mencionei o ninho e a marcação de cheiro? Haha.
Basicamente, qualquer razão pode ser uma razão válida para gostar do estilo de vida misce!”
Eu não sei como traduzir isso, mas seria algo como ligações/conexões.
Fetiche em indulgir em instintos primitivos.
“Heat” é usado específicamente para fase de cio de ômegas e “Hut” para a fase de impulso reprodutivo de alfas.
Em resposta a quinta pergunta:
→ “I mean, I've always been a bunny and I have werewolf mates, so a mix of miscelapin and miscecanis makes the most sense to me! Finding out what animals, entities, or concepts you relate or feel drawn to may help you narrow it down, but in the end, making it up as you go, whether just engaging with plain human miscelife, or making an amalgmation from a lot of different others is fine too. Again, NO rules!”
→ Tradução: “Quero dizer, eu sempre fui ume coelhe e tenho parceires lobisomens, então uma mistura de miscelapin* e miscecanis faz mais sentido pra mim. Descobrir com quais animais, entidades ou conceitos você se identifica ou sente afinidade pode te ajudar a afunilar isso, mas no fim das contas, inventar conforme você vai vivendo, seja se envolvendo com a vida humana misce simples, seja criando uma fusão de várias influências diferentes, também está totalmente certo. Mais uma vez: sem regras!”
Miscelapin: Outro termo pra Miscecuniculus.
Em resposta a sexta pergunta:
→ “I don't even know yet myself. Maybe what kind of personalities they have or what kind of ones they like? I'm bubbly, cheerful, practical, and cutesy, so I imagine myself having something like vanilla cupcake. Not as sweet as candy and still warm and comforting.”
→ Tradução: “Eu mesme ainda nem sei. Talvez de acordo com a personalidade delus ou do quê elus gostam? Eu sou animade, alegre, prátique e fofe, então imagino que o meu seria algo como cupcake de baunilha. Não tão doce quanto bala, mas ainda assim quente e reconfortante”.
Em resposta a sétima pergunta:
→ “Misce is a lifestyle, it might appear to have some roleplaying elements to it especially when interacting with others or maybe when you're first starting and getting comfortable with it, but the main difference is gonna be in what feels natural and intrinsic to you and there will be less/no putting on or off of "a costume or character", more just interruptions of your lifestyle from consensus reality.”
→ Tradução: “Misce é um estilo de vida. Pode até parecer que tem alguns elementos de roleplay, especialmente ao interagir com outras pessoas ou talvez quando você está começando e se acostumando com isso, mas a principal diferença está no que parece natural e intrínseco pra você. Há pouco ou nenhum ‘vestir ou tirar um figurino ou personagem’, é mais sobre interrupções do seu estilo de vida pela realidade consensual”.
Em resposta a oitava pergunta:
→ “No! Heck, even omegaverse isn't solely porn and I'm tired of people making that misconception. There will be common elements of miscelife that may not be accessible until someone is an adult, but like both miscelife & omegaverse have pups and juveniles in their universe's lore, so no, not a sexual thing. Conversely, for many people it can tie into their sexual or kink activities entirely or fluidly and that's okay too! (it is a bit like that for me, plus kink can also be its own lifestyle too)”.
→ Tradução: “Não! Poxa, nem mesmo o Omegaverse é só pornografia, e eu tô cansade das pessoas acharem isso. Existem elementos comuns da vida misce que podem não ser acessíveis até que alguém seja adulte, mas tanto a vida misce quanto o Omegaverse têm filhotes e jovens em suas respectivas lógicas de universo, então, não, não é uma coisa sexual. Por outro lado, pra muitas pessoas, isso pode se conectar completamente ou de forma fluida com sua sexualidade ou práticas de fetiche, e tá tudo bem também! (pra mim é um pouco assim, além de que fetiche também pode ser um estilo de vida por si só)”.
Em resposta a última pergunta:
→ “I would think you would need to know either the base elements of omegaverse lore, or have some familiarity with actual or mythologized kinds of pack dynamics for various animals, particularly wolves since that is the most common one. In any case, picking and choosing from what meta there is to learn about omegaverse will help build your miscelife, but there's other sources to learn from too!”.
→ Tradução: “Acho que você precisaria conhecer pelo menos os elementos básicos da lore do Omegaverse ou ter alguma familiaridade com tipos reais ou mitológicos de dinâmicas de matilha de diversos animais, especialmente lobes, já que são os mais comuns. De qualquer forma, escolher e explorar o que existe de informação sobre o Omegaverse pode ajudar a construir a sua vida misce, mas há outras fontes de aprendizado também!”.

Em uma ask à “nestinqomega” em 5 de fevereiro desse ano, ê usuárie “moss-ridden-owl-creature” perguntou:
→ “Sorry if this is a stupid question- what exactly is the misceverse? (Am I spelling that right?) is it like- a lifestyle? An identity? Is it a chosen thing? Or is it just like an aesthetic? I know nothing lol- any information would be greatly appreciated”.
→ Tradução: “Desculpa se for uma pergunta boba — o que exatamente é o misceverse? (Tô escrevendo certo?) É tipo….um estilo de vida? Uma identidade? Algo que a pessoa escolhe? Ou é só uma estética? Eu não sei nada, rs — qualquer informação seria muito bem-vinda!”.
Ê usuárie nestinqomega respondeu:
→ “not a stupid question!!! i wanna start of by saying to please take everything i say with a grain of salt for 2 main reasons:
i didn’t know until a few months ago that other people felt the same as me or that there was a whole misce community! so there are things that i probably haven’t seen/heard of in specific terms 😀
the misce verse is all very personal to who you are, your identity, and what it means to you!! so what is true for me may not be true for you or anyone else 😀
moving on, im not sure how familiar you are with the concept of the omegaverse, so i’ll very briefly explain in case you haven’t heard of it! the omegaverse is a fictional setting/universe based on (since debunked) hypotheses about dynamics among wolves. so in the omegaverse, each person has a secondary gender that is either alpha, beta, or omega, each with specific characteristics that people explore in fictional writing ! i’m sure there are much more detailed explanations of omegaverse out there if you want more in depth info 😀
the misceverse is a community of people who take concepts/practices from the omegaverse fictional world and apply it to their own real lives - whether that’s in gender identify, lifestyle, etc. “misceverse” is kind of an umbrella term, there are more specific terms that align with certain animal groups that people use if they feel more connected to those, like miscecanis for more dog/wolf centered feelings, experiences, identities, miscefelis for felines, and many others for different animal groups! one important thing to note is that this isn’t pretend or role play for the people in the misce community, it’s our real identities, feelings, and experiences.
because it’s so intwined with each person’s identity, there are so many different ways it shows up in people’s lives - whether they have a designated scent for themselves, identify with specific characteristics of the label they identify with (like whether or not someone experiences “typical” omega things if they identify as an omega), how they feel about packs/finding a pack for themselves, heat/rut cycles, etc.
at its core, it’s about adopting parts of the omegaverse that align and resonate with YOU and making it a part of your day to day life and incorporating it into your identity 😀
a common misconception is that the misceverse is inherently sexual, which is not necessarily true. for some people it is and for some people it isn’t, and that’s for them to decide! at the end of the day it’s about your gender and your lifestyle!
there’s a lot of overlap with the alterhuman, therian, and kin communities too 😀 this is sooooo much info so i’m sorry if it’s overwhelming/confusing, but i hope it helps!
if you have any more/follow up questions, i’ll do my best to answer 😀
i also want to say there’s sometimes some confusion because of tagging !!! a lot of people (like myself) also tag with some omegaverse tags in order to find and connect with people who may feel the same way and don’t know about the community or haven’t been able to find it :)”.
→ Tradução: “Não é uma pergunta boba!!! Quero começar dizendo pra você levar tudo o que eu disser com uma pitada de sal por dois motivos principais:
Eu só descobri há alguns meses que outras pessoas sentiam o mesmo que eu ou que existia toda uma comunidade misce! Então é possível que eu ainda não conheça certos termos ou aspectos mais específicos 😀
O misceverse é algo muito pessoal, está ligado a quem você é, à sua identidade e ao que isso significa pra você. Então o que é verdade pra mim pode não ser verdade pra você ou pra qualquer outra pessoa 😀
Dito isso, não sei o quanto você está familiarizade com o conceito de Omegaverse, então vou explicar bem rapidinho caso nunca tenha ouvido falar. O Omegaverse é um universo ou ambientação fictícia baseada em hipóteses (já desmentidas) sobre a dinâmica entre lobes. Nesse universo, cada pessoa tem um “gênero secundário”: alfa, beta ou ômega, cada um com características específicas que são exploradas em histórias de ficção. Existem explicações bem mais detalhadas por aí, caso você queira saber mais.
O misceverse é uma comunidade de pessoas que pegam conceitos e práticas do universo ficcional do Omegaverse e aplicam em suas vidas reais, seja em identidade de gênero, estilo de vida etc. “Misceverse” é um termo guarda-chuva. Existem termos mais específicos relacionados a grupos de animais com os quais as pessoas se identificam, como miscecanis (pra quem sente conexão com cães ou lobes), miscefelis (para felines), e muitos outros para diferentes grupos. Uma coisa importante de destacar é que isso não é faz de conta nem roleplay pra quem faz parte da comunidade misce. São identidades, sentimentos e experiências reais.
Por estar tão entrelaçado com a identidade de cada pessoa, isso se manifesta de tantas maneiras diferentes na vida das pessoas — seja tendo um aroma específico que as represente, identificando-se com características particulares do rótulo com que se reconhecem (como, por exemplo, se alguém vivencia coisas 'típicas' de ume ômega ao se identificar como tal), como se sentem em relação às matilhas/encontrar uma matilha para si, ciclos de heat/rut, etc.
Principalmente, trata-se de adotar partes do Omegaverse que fazem sentido pra VOCÊ e integrá-las no seu dia a dia, tornando isso parte da sua identidade :)
Um equívoco comum é pensar que o misceverse é algo puramente sexual, o que não é necessariamente verdade. Pra algumas pessoas é, pra outras não, e isso varia de pessoa pra pessoa. No fim das contas, tudo gira em torno da sua identidade de gênero e do seu modo de vida.
Também existe muita sobreposição com as comunidades alterumana, therian e kin 😀 Eu sei que é muitaaaaa informação, desculpa se ficou confuso ou pesado demais, mas espero que tenha ajudado.
Se tiver mais perguntas ou quiser perguntar qualquer outra coisa, farei o possível pra responder 😀
Ah, e só pra avisar: às vezes rola um pouco de confusão por causa das tags. Muita gente (como eu) também usa tags do Omegaverse pra poder encontrar e se conectar com pessoas que talvez sintam o mesmo, mas que ainda não conhecem a comunidade ou não conseguiram encontrá-la :)”.
Dinâmicas/Gêneros secundários
Como mencionado anteriormente, existem outras dinâmicas ou gêneros secundários além de Alfa, Beta e Ômega. No entanto, essas configurações não são claramente definidas, já que variam de acordo com cada história dentro do omegaverse ou com a interpretação pessoal de cada indivíduo na comunidade misce.
Como os nomes do trio principal vêm de letras do alfabeto grego, outras dinâmicas seguem essa mesma lógica, utilizando letras como: Gama, Delta, Épsilon, Zeta, Eta, Teta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mi, Ni, Xi, Ômicron, Pi, Rô, Sigma, Tau, Ípsilon, Fi, Chi e Psi. Algumas letras antigas do alfabeto grego também foram resgatadas como inspirações para novas dinâmicas, como San e Digama, entre outras.
Uma dinâmica ou gênero secundário à parte é Enigma, que não é baseado em nenhuma letra do alfabeto grego. Trata-se de uma dinâmica rara, retratada em poucas obras dentro do omegaverse. Enigmas são geralmente descrites como um tipo de alfa ainda mais poderoso, ocupando uma posição acima dês demais. Costumam ser representades como indivíduos com grande capacidade de resistir a instintos, extremamente carismátiques e com uma presença tão marcante que conseguem impor sua vontade sobre qualquer ume. Em algumas interpretações, também possuem a habilidade de impregnar qualquer outra dinâmica, inclusive alfas.
Além disso, existem dinâmicas inspiradas em elementos como plantas, animais e outros conceitos — conhecidas como xenodinâmicas, baseadas no conceito de xenogênero.
Também há termos para descrever a experiência de possuir múltiplas dinâmicas ou gêneros secundários, como bidinâmica, tridinâmica e o termo mais amplo, multidinâmica. Algumas configurações multidinâmica também recebem nomes próprios (como Aega, que citei anteriormente).
Transdinâmica é um termo para se referir à transição da dinâmica atribuído à pessoa no momento de sua apresentação (gênero secundário) para outro que corresponde à sua identidade pessoal. Não é um termo que surgiu na comunidade misce, mas é adotado por algumas pessoas. Há termos específicos para transições de uma dinâmica para outra, como AtO (Alpha to Omega), BtA (Beta to Alpha) e assim por diante.
Adinâmica ou sem-dinâmica se refere a pessoas que não se identificam com nenhuma dinâmica.

if you are building the entire base of joborun on your system you need to read this
gcc 15.1 --> gcc 14.3,0
Summary: we have silently rebuilding from ground up with gcc 14.3 and if all goes well we will be retracting from gcc15 back to 14. The reason is a month after 15 was released 14 received a serious upgrade fine-tuning it to be the best compiler in existence, without the strict demand of gcc15.
While in the end of April arch suddenly jumped from gcc 14.2,1 to 15.1.0 we followed, not very critically and educated on the specifics. gcc15 promised a ton but if and when the entire upstream community would comply with their changes, which has created major hickups, especially in the area of reproducibility. If you have noticed upgrades from arch and therefore ourselves have been very sporadic. It is the end of the month and arch releases an image they attempt to make as stable as possible, so upgrades usually drom in the last week of the month.
We used this calm season to spend every milligram of computing juice to rebuild. We upgraded glibc, libtool, binutils if upgrades were available, reverted linux-api-headers back to 5.15 from 6.6, and retune the system for higher stability and reliability. There are many things we like to keep in the cutting edge of upstream development but build-tool-chain doesn't need to be in the bleeding edge. Especially when the kernel itself is resisting to adopt all changes required by gcc15, and since we build still kernels frozen in Oct 2024 it feels awkward to have to use gcc14 for the kernels and gcc15 for everything else.
Just last week gcc 14.3.0 came out, a month after gcc15.1 was out and with great promises due to bug fixes and refinement. The speed superiority of gcc15 didn't materialize in a significant way, and the feeling from gcc 14.3.0 is very very good. Void still in this moment is using 14.2.0- April 5/25 release.
We believe this is the best of both worlds. We are also re/building software that readily failed to rebuild with gcc15, so this is a great step forwards even if it appears as retracting.
The practical issue will be how smoothly the upgrade to an earlier version number gcc will go. Hopefully a simple tag "replaces=gcc ... 15.." will suffice.
With all tests succeeding, with a 2 machines with equivalent installations running software build with 15 but running on gcc14-libs and vice-versa hasn't showed any issues. Theoretically, once something is compiled and build successfully it doesn't matter what gcc libs you have installed. We even have old discontinued software built on gcc11 many equinoxes ago.
Bottom line: If you are in the process of rebuilding an optimized machine from scratch, be a few days patient till we finish updating the code. What is currently on git.disroot reflects the changes already that don't match binaries (binutils, linux-api-headers, libtool, glibc, gcc) but we need to also run rolling updates on the current binaries. In other words joborun now is forked, upgrades from core and extra come out of a builder with gcc15 while the other builder is building on the new tool chain.
What we committed to do and its practical applications
After the late October 2024 removal of developers/maintainers of the linux code by the heads of the project on the basis of the natinality and origin of their employers (not in terms of ability, character, and quality of contributions) and the nationalist racist remarks that accompanied the removal (some nonsense about baseless history of Finland ) we had decided to halt following development of the kernel, and just rebuild the last editions of 5.10/5.15/6.6 .. of the time, we are now seeing this becoming harder to do for the following reasons.
1 It is evident through interaction with users that this intent is not shared by the user base, which can also be perceived positively as users in order to get the latest of kernel development were forced to build their own. If they make this leap of building a kernel for their system then they can build everything we offer, which was a very encouraged objective since day one. So we seem compelled to admit that our criteria in this manner are not widely shared, not in practical terms anyhow.
2 We anticipated that there would have been a fork of the kernel critically adopting development of current and LTS kernels without admitting new corporate product code. There was one initiative CINUX early on that froze in time and received no commits. We haven't been able to find any other projects.
3 As we were traumatized to discover gcc15 rebasing its libC from 17 to 23 was unable to compile the kernels as they were. Many other software have the same problem, and arch either uses a 2nd batch of gcc branded gcc14 (huge) or exporting a build flag for gcc to use 11 or 17 as its base to compile, but doing so sufficiently slower and less efficiently than gcc 14. Eventually the kernels that are current and marked as LTS will receive changes so they can comply with 23 standards and could compile with gcc15 without any hacky measures such as those used by arch lately.
4 We have moved back to gcc 14 but in the latest stable edition released late May (14.3.0) and we have been happily building since using this new tool chain. We needed to see whether kernels would compile and build as they did in the past, and we were successful. So we built the latest edition of linux 5.15.184
5 So for now we violated our declaration of boycotting the LinFo/US-SD tendencies and racism to provide an alternative. Since 5.10 has had much longer development we will keep rebuilding that late October 2024 edition for now. With linux 6.6 we are ambivolent, and next release may see a build. Since kernels built before 4/29/25 are kept in the frozen 429 project repository, this is becoming enormous to keep 6 kernels and headers in our "free" repository. The idea behind 429 was to provide an alternative to Arch's gcc15 move, which since our re-edition of gcc14 it has lost its purpose.
6 Enjoy trials of linux{,-headers}-5.15.184-01 being uploaded as we speak
For those who are concerned on that move back on Oct 2024 stick to the "safe" editions as listed before here and in an article at sysdfree.wordpress.com For those who think "development" of the latest kernel is of their interest get that binary. All lts kernels have a tentrative death day on Dec 2026, except for 6.1 getting one extra year. 5.4 is out this December. If you think things will continue to roll as they have in the past place your bet. All indications show that something dramatic is cooking under the drama we witness from kernel to gnu/gcc to X, to wayland. Someone is shaking the pan underneath and heads are rolling due to those moves.
Maybe joborun appeared just in the right time of getting one clean last healthy system before it all turns to crap. I'd keep copies of images and repos, you never know when we are going to need older/cleaner ones when crap gets revealed.
@Iri Yan then what about bsd do we have not use them too as they get hardware support from linux drm stack, as you can see openbsd synced drm with linux 6.12 and freebsd has drm for many kernel versions for 5.10, 5.15, 6.1, 6.6 these two are the only bsd systems which support = > intel gen 12 and ryzen 7000 series fully
I think it is more of a matter of consciousness than a practical/technical issue. Just like strict FOSS/libre sw and not-so-free software. In debian in order to use non-free firmware you must enable the non-free repositories, and if that is the only way to make your machine work, who is there to judge you? If you say I'd rather not use wifi than use non-free software, all power to you.
But some how and someone needs to speak up about what is going on, and the loudest voice is the collective voice. Hiding behind some legality of "Open Free" software, abiding by "war-time" passive-aggressive doctrine of the type "whoever does business with them is not our friend and our friends better not be working together with our enemies", then dumping long term "co-workers" on the basis of their national origin or that of their employer, is way beyond what I would perceive as free. It is abiding by fascism and doing so unilaterally as the sole dictator of the project.
Remember one of the 12 dumped wasn't even removed from the list, he quit in protest of that happened.
Also those comments about history and relations between Finns and Russians are totally biased and a perverse way of looking at history. This is clearly neo-nazi rhetoric based on lies and propaganda. If he had clarified his world views 20 some years ago I don't think his work and fame would have gotten this far. So he speaks based on the deception of upholding Open & Free values and principles, which he took a crap on!

Running Android apps on another system than Android requires a container, like what Waydroid implements. Waydroid is based on LineageOS, based on Android 10, and can access any needed hardware. It can run Android apps on x86 or ARM cpus, it's fully open source, it can add your Android apps to your menu, it can display apps in their own windows or fullscreen, it can display the Android Ui for navigation, and has near native performance.
Waydroid lets you install .APK applications, which you can download online relatively easily, but to begin with, you might want to get an app store, which will make this process a lot simpler. Let's go with F Droid, which has tons of open source applications for Android, that will also work on Waydroid.
waydroid app install and then the path to your APK file, and hit enter.
You'll then have to restart the system service for Waydroid, using
sudo sysctemctl start waydroid-container
Your app should now be added to your applications menu, and you can open it through there. From F-Droid, you can install any application you want, and they'll also get automatically added to your applications menu. Of course, at first install, you'll need to enable installing applications from an untrusted source, like on a "real" android device.
You can also add the Google Apps and the Play Services.
I left a link to the install instructions, it's not an easy, one click install by any means, and you'll have to run multiple command lines, install a few packages on your distro, register your "fake device" with Google, clear the Play Store cache, install magisk and more. Once that's done, though, you do get a fully functional Android system, complete with Google apps, and the Google Play Store. You can login with your Google account, and use Waydroid as a full Android system.
App apps that require the Google Play Services will also work, including youtube, Google Maps, Gmail, and a lot more. You'll also be able to download apps you might already have purchased in the Play Store on an Android device, if you so choose.
I couldn't find certain apps in the Play Store, though, like Netflix for example, which might be a country-related issue. Some apps would also crash at startup, like Amazon prime Video.
Xbox Game Pass worked, I could navigate the UI and launch a game with Xcloud, but after that, games would just not display anything, sticking to a black window, which I had to quit to resume using Waydroid. My banking app also failed with an error message telling me the service wasn't available.
Twitter worked perfectly, Duolingo also did, although in Portrait mode.
A new study led by McGill University researchers suggests methane emissions from Canada's non-producing oil and gas wells are seven times higher than previously estimated, at 230 kilotonnes per year.
The study, published in Environmental Science & Technology, measured methane emissions from 494 wells across five provinces using a chamber-based method.
Will happen when it becomes more profitable to capture than ignore and release. If methanesat is able to produce data? Penalties for release? Canada's supreme court; "energy companies must clean up old wells" hmclawyers.com/construction/su…
@pinhman unless our government chooses to actually regulate the industry, no amount of monitoring will help. I certainly can't see that happening under Carney.
[7 juin] grande mobilisation de BNM 86 suite aux annonces et mensonges du prefet à propos de l’étude HMUC
🤥Le pillage de l'eau continue, dans le déni de la science et de la démocratie. Les bassines annoncées dans la vienne depuis plusieurs années n'ont toujours pas vue le jour sur le bassin du Clain. Mais la préfecture de la Vienne s'obstine encore, malgré les signaux d'alerte de la population et les preuves scientifues qui démontrent la nécessité d'arrêter ces projets.
✊Rassemblons du 7 Juin pour que cela cesse !

(en noir sur fond blanc) Rappelons-que le PTGE (Projet Territorial de Gestion de l’Eau), censé constituer un semblant de concertation démocratique, vient à peine de commencer. Que l’étude scientifique HMUC (Hydrologie, Milieux, Usages, Climat), robuste base rationnelle déjà issue de discussions sur le partage de l’eau, est volontairement bafouée ou ignorée. Et que la CLE (Commission Locale de l’Eau), espace où se jouent les décisions sur la gestion de l’eau, est toujours noyautée par l’agro-industrie et les conflits d’intérêt.
4
(en noir sur fond blanc) C’est donc sans aucune forme de légitimité que le préfet Serge Boulanger continue les passages en force dans le sillage de son prédécesseur : il signe un arrêté autorisant six bassines dans le sous-bassin de la Clouère, il entend autoriser des volumes d’eau exorbitants pour l’irrigation pour les 8 prochaines années (AUP), il annonce que de prochaines bassines de la Vienne seraient financées par des collectivités, ou encore que deux chantiers de bassine débuteraient avant la fin de l’année !
5
(en noir sur fond blanc) Le 25 juin, la CLE doit valider l’étude scientifique HMUC. Les changements dans la gestion de l’eau qu’impliquent les conclusions de cette étude font peur aux irrigants pro-bassines, qui repoussent sans cesse la mise en application de ses préconisations. Le préfet, qui aime pourtant rappeler la loi, a choisi de ne pas prendre en compte l’étude pour rédiger ses différents arrêtés. Le préfet et cette poignée d’irrigants continuent d’organiser main dans la main le pillage des nappes pour les profits de quelques-uns. Ils condamnent la vie des milieux naturels, l’eau potable des habitant·es et l’avenir de l’agriculture sur le territoire.
6
(en noir sur fond blanc) Le préfet ré-affirme ainsi le soutien indéfectible de l’Etat au lobby agro-industriel. Il nie la science et écrase le débat démocratique. Il est donc temps de lui rappeler les règles de son propre jeu et la détermination populaire contre ses projets. Défendons l'eau, pour nos rivières, pour les paysan·nes, et les habitant·es.

Islams Koran rewritten three hundred years after Muhammad by Khazar infiltrators it is now vile and repugnant to us. Islam calls North America the Great Satan It gives me pause to wonder when I see our country being transformed into that very thing right before our eyes in these times.
I'm sorry in advance if this sounds cringe or sappy. Or if it is something well known. But right now the difference, for me, in using Linux versus Windows is hope. It really is. Let me explain.
On Linux, if I have an issue, or a problem, something I don't understand. I have hope that I can find a way, an alternative, a forum, someone that will help, or even make it better by myself. No matter the issue hope drives me forward.
On Windows, there is no hope anything will get better.
Area - Diforisma Urbano Area was an Italian band dedicated to progressive rock, jazz-rock, fusion, electronic music and experimental music. They were formed in 1972 by singer Demetrio Stratos and drummer Giulio Capiozzo. Other prominent members of the group are: Ares Tavolazzi, Paolo Tofani and Patrizio Fariselli. Among their best-known albums: "Arbeit Macht Frei" (1973); "Crac!" (1975); "Maledetti" (1976); "1978 Gli Dei Se Ne Vanno, Gli Arrabbiati Restano!" (1978).

I intend to use this blog to talk about Key 13 music, processes, history, influences, and how the Fediverse has had such a dramatic effect. And maybe I'll write a bit more about how this Volume 003 release came together, from my perspective – but today it's not about me, it's time to thank the cast of thousands that helped get the latest Bonk Knob Records release over the line.
Forty Artists!
First and foremost, forty individual artists poured their heart and soul into creating 48 tracks for this release, which was more than the total number of tracks from all the previous releases combined!
All of them gave their work for free – so, if you can, please follow the links to their own sites available on the tracknotespages, and show them some support.
Artwork
I put out a call for someone to help with the artwork quite early on in the process, before we knew how many discs there would be. Thankfully several of the featured musicians answered the call, and then worked together to create the art you see today.
Traiken drew the main characters – the robot, chameleon, and Elizabethan Frog – first as rough line art, then gradually evolving into what you see on the final versions.
Desolation Park came up with a number of options for the lettering and typography, which the BonkBoard community voted on.
Ordos Mk.0 added several versions of the Bonk Wave Pig 'mask' which you can see in the robot's screen on Disc A, and in the background on Disc B – and has subsequently been used a lot in the launch party shows.
Track Notes
For the albumtracknotes, fastachee, n3wjack and AmbientSpace collaborated on a shared document to make these happen – if you haven't read through them, please do, while listening – they really enhance the experience!
One of the usually thankless tasks is sorting through the artist links and putting together those track notes pages – and here we have to thank Refrigerator for sorting the fediverse links out, and the always-inspiring socool for the painstakingly boring task of creating the HTML pages.
Mastering
The biggest headache of all was how to master 48 tracks.
When I first put out the submission call, I had no idea if anyone would submit at all – I had visions of a 6-10 track release, with little fanfare. When Ordos Mk.0 put out the call for the previous remixes release, we'd asked submitters to send in unmastered tracks for the first time – and socool helpfully mastered them, as there were only 9 to start with, plus another 4 added in a later batch. So it felt OK to do the same for this release – and we'd sort out the mastering between us later – or, worst case, just pay someone to do a few for us.
However, when 48 tracks turned up, we had a problem – there was no way to afford paying someone else, and it's a huge task for one person to take on. I had a go myself, but it's not my core strength. Luckily Ordos Mk.0 stepped up and did the lion's share of the work, without which there would literally not have been a release – so huge, huge thanks deserved there.
Sequencing
With 48 tracks, the next issue was how to divide them up and what order to put them in – I did the initial division into the three discs, with a tentative order. Then, as the mastering proceeded, Ordos Mk.0 tweaked the sequencing to refine it further – especially for disc C.
A number of other folks helped out with listening, advice on the sequencing etc – specifically n3wjack, Default Media Transmitter and sknob.
Launch Parties
I think we would all agree that the live streamed launch parties were a fantastic success! So much positivity and love, what an amazing experience. But a lot of work goes into making these happen.
First up: thanks to Radio Free Fedi for hosting the first live stream.
Next: to AxWax for putting together the first set of visuals and getting us up and running.
When we came to the second party, RFF was in a less-than-optimal place having just started the shutdown process, so we decided to spin up our own server – AxWax had already got a test server from before, so between us we used the same template to spin up a new one, which just about survived the onslaught! Thanks to everyone from the BonkBoard who helped out testing the robustness of the server one weekday evening before the stream!
And of course, for the second two parties, the awesome James Hastings stepped in to do the visuals – with very different scenes between Disc B and Disc C, both fitting the music and the mood perfectly. It takes a lot of time to prepare and run these, so huge thanks to both AxWax and James for this.
I nearly forgot – both Traiken and Flear made some animated videos based off the cover art to use as part of the video stream for the launch party – Flear in particular managing to animate Traiken's robot really effectively!
Finally, thanks to owncast for providing such a great piece of software.
Everything else
Special thanks go to AxWax for putting up with my incessant chat messages while we were putting this whole thing together.
We wouldn't be here at all if Yoni Den hadn't started the whole Bonk Wave thing, so whichever space pathways they find themselves on now, we will always be in their debt.
Downloads
And finally, don't forget you can download and stream all three amazing releases, along with the previous volumes, completely for free from any of these places:
“What is Bonk Wave? What is not Bonk Wave? What does Bonk Wave mean to you? Does it matter?”
On July 31st, 2023, Yoni Den launched an open call for submissions for Not What I Call Bonk Wave Volume 001, a “proposed compilation of music that may or may not be Bonk Wave”.
Beginnings
Just ten days earlier, the term Bonk Wave had been born out of frustration with the Genre Police, a bunch of online folks who 'gatekeep' certain genres of electronic music to within tiny niches that seemingly only they could tell apart. “That's Not Bonk Wave!” they would say.
Within hours of that initial post, the first #BonkWave track had been imagined by Flear and posted to Mastodon.
It could have just been left there, and ended as a short-lived joke. But no...
Volume 001
Striking while the iron was still hot, the call for submissions went out on both the Fediverse and on some external music forums, with a deadline just 14 days away – August 13th, 2023.
Amazingly 14 tracks were created and submitted in that short time, and on the 25th August the collection was released on Bandcamp, with a “Pay What You Want” price tag. The music was an eclectic mix of electronic styles, as that was the circle Yoni Den moved in at the time. Was any of it Bonk Wave? Who knew – the compilation itself was confusingly titled “Not What I Call Bonk Wave” implying that the critics didn't think so.
Several of the tracks made reference to the gatekeeping aspect of the original post – including Flear's “Genre Police” and my own Key 13 track “Heretic”.
The cover art was a reference to cheap compilation albums of the past, with a few easter eggs for those who knew what to look for.
Yoni Den handled all aspects of the release – compiling the tracks, designing and drawing the artwork, writing the humorous track notes and uploading the music to Bandcamp under the guise of a fictional record label called Bonk Knob Records. (“It was right there!” said Yoni Den).
The album was an immediate success amongst the Ravenation electronic music community, and soon people were looking at that “Volume 001” part and asking “So, when's Volume 002? Can I contribute?!”
Volume 002
So, just a few weeks later, a second call for submissions went out – on October 15th, 2023. Not What I Call Bonk Wave Volume 002 : Bonkwave Nights – A compilation of Electronic Music which is or is not #BonkWaveonly this time it's night time
This time there was a longer deadline – submissions closed on the 15th of November, and Yoni Den was inundated – far more tracks than expected! A wider range of musicians had caught on, and although still mostly electronic in nature, the styles varied considerably across the two discs.
There were so many submissions (29 in total) that the album had to be split across two “discs” – A and B – and was released to Bandcamp on the 8th December, 2023. The cover art featured, for the first time, the character known as Bonk Wave Pig, with a natty purple suit and tie, and a mohican-style fuzz of pink hair, along with the now-characteristic neon teal-and-pink Bonk Wave lettering.
Again, Yoni Den handled everything – artwork, track notes, compiling and sequencing, releasing to Bandcamp, the lot.
With the momentum still high from the Volume 002 release, AxWax put out a call for collaborators on a Christmas single.
Within just a few days, on December the 22nd 2023, We Wish You A Merry Bonksmas arrived, under the new “BonkWave AllStars” banner. This release featured a host of musicians, many of whom had not contributed to either of the previous compilations, and ensured the year ended on a high point.
Passing the torch
The work to put the Volume 002 release out, and perhaps the resulting attention on Mastodon, had taken its toll, and on the 4th Jan 2024, Yoni Den, uncomfortable with the responsibility of what had now become quite a big thing, reached out to resign the unofficial post of 'CEO' for Bonk Knob Records.
The intention was that the Bonk Wave movement should continue – “We did something really great, and I hope it is just the beginning” – but it would need new hands to take it forward.
Luckily AxWax stepped up to pick up the reins in the short term, with the understanding that the 'CEO' role would likely rotate, and control shouldn't ever be concentrated in one person.
Waves of Bonk
Conscious that Mastodon wasn't proving the easiest way to coordinate releases, and also that several contributors to the first two volumes weren't even on the Fediverse, we discussed moving to a different platform.
The first step was to try a Matrix room, and so AxWax set up Waves of Bonk, on Jan 10th 2024. This started off really well, with some lively discussions, but we failed to get some of the contributors to join, especially those outside the Fediverse. Matrix is also a bit.. quirky.. and some folks struggled a bit with the client software.
It did form the spark for a few new ideas, however – discussions included the concept of a new remix album, based on tracks from the first 2 compilations. We also discussed the image2midi software that Yonder created, and I subsequently turned into a webapp for easier use. At one point there was even talk of a compilation of these – but that didn't happen.
bonkwave.org
Deeper discussion was held around the future of any Bonk Wave infrastructure or community – should we set up an alternative to Bandcamp? – several of us had recently set up Faircamp sites so that looked like a good idea. If we did set something up, it should be robust, without reliance on one person. We also discussed the fact we were seen as an electronic music community, which perhaps wasn't exactly the case, and might be excluding some folks.
What evolved eventually was the idea of an old school forum for discussion purposes, and a Faircamp site under the same banner for current and future releases. Across late January 2024 I set up the bonkwave.org domain, and AxWax configured a Simple Machines Forum to run on it, which I installed into some web hosting space I already had, and wasn't using for much. This was the start of The BonkBoard, which launched for real on the 3rd of February, 2024.
Licensing
When it came to the Faircamp site we hit a bit of an issue – it wasn't clear what licences the original compilations had been released under – artists had given their tracks freely under the assumption it would be on Bandcamp. Could we just copy everything to our own Faircamp?
We decided to reach out and get explicit permission from all the artists, which still remains an issue to this day. We got rapid responses with full permission from (nearly) all the Fediverse artists but many of the non-Fedi artists just didn't reply to the emails, which is such a shame. We've left their tracks off the Faircamp site for now – you can still get them for free on Bandcamp. If any of you ever read this – please let us know if you're OK duplicating your tracks!
I still don't know if we made the right decision or not – but it feels better not to re-use material without clear permission. For each subsequent release we've established clear licensing per track, and the submission statement from Volume 003 onwards allows “Bonk Knob Records” a limited, non-exclusive distribution right so we can, in future, move to new hosting services as required.
Be My BonkWave
Somewhere in the middle of all this activity, AxWax found the time to coordinate a second collaborative release as BonkWave AllStars – and Be My BonkWave became the first new release on the shiny new Faircamp site, just in time for Valentine's Day 2024.
Meanwhile, the BonkBoard forum was getting a few new joiners, but we hadn't (and have still not) attracted anyone outside the Fediverse. Discussion was slow.
Remixes
Somewhere on the Matrix chat we'd started discussing a remix album. It turns out that, back in February, Ordos Mk.0 and Socool had already remixed each other's tracks from the Volume 002 compilation, and were ready to go.
On March 8th, 2024, Ordos Mk.0 put out a call for submissions for the remix compilation on the BonkBoard. The tentative release date was set for April 26th, to give everyone time to finish.
We didn't know it at the time, but the creative process for this release would start to point the way forward to the future. Over the next few weeks, several people contributed. The cover art was started by DockBunson and finished by Ordos Mk.0. The decision was taken to master all the tracks together, and Socool stepped up to the plate to do that. Track notes and sequencing was done as a joint exercise on a Google spreadsheet set up by n3wjack. We decided to remix the original compilation title as well, and came up with Not Bonk What I Call Wave: Remixes – with the cover art cleverly arranged so you could still read it as “Not What I Call Bonk Wave”.
A few artists were struggling to find time to finish their remixes so by the 10th May 2024 we decided to release what we had, 9 awesome tracks. The other remixes did come through a few weeks later, and we re-launched the album on the 21st of June, with the new material taking it up to 13 tracks. Mastering the tracks together made this the most polished release to date.
For the first time, AxWax suggested a live launch party using Radio Free Fedi's owncast server. which was hugely successful – everyone had a great time, and it really brought the community together.
Progress? or not?
Unlike the previous compilations, which had been Yoni Den alone, suddenly we had a team of people working together on their own initiative, spreading the workload. To me, at least, this really felt like a big step forwards. But I was conscious we'd had a submission period open for three months, and only had 13 tracks, which wasn't a lot compared to the previous compilation with a far shorter submission deadline.
Was the bonk flame flickering a little?
An anniversary
As July 2024 came round, I was aware we'd be heading for the first year anniversary of Yoni Den's original Bonk Wave post. It felt like we should do something to commemorate this – so I set up a call for a secret collaboration on Mastodon, on July 3rd, using the BonkWave AllStars banner again. I checked, and double checked, the date on Yoni Den's post – 22nd July 2023, and set aim to release on that day.
I got more contributions than I could handle and the resulting patchwork of production ended up as Happy Bonk Day, featuring a fabulous lineup of musicians. This was very different from anything we'd done before, as it skewed more towards rock than electronica. The release was completed by alternative versions from sknob and AxWax
We had everything ready to go for the 22nd, then, on the 21st, 55aw suddenly announced the anniversary! I was stunned. The original post had been past midnight in my local timezone (UK), so was technically showing as the 22nd to me, but in US timezones was on the 21st.
So I hurriedly rushed out the release on the 21st, amending the cover art appropriately.
Unbonked?
While putting together Happy Bonk Day, we'd already been discussing what to do about another compilation. AxWax wanted to attract more musicians outside the electronic genre, so we came up with the idea of a 2-disc compilation Bonked and Unbonked where, we assumed, acoustic musicians would feel more comfortable on the Unbonked disc.
The release of the single was a good time to put out the submission call, so on July 23rd 2024 I put a post up on the BonkBoard, and a link on Mastodon.
Remembering that we'd allowed nearly 3 months for the Remixes album, and only had 13 submissions, I wasn't expecting much. We set the submission deadline for 2 months time – 25th September – just to make sure we had enough submissions for at least one disc.
I may have been a tad pessimistic. The eventual Volume 003 release had 48 tracks, spanning 3 discs! You can read all about how it was put together here. We split the release across 4 weeks, with Disc A on 25th October, Disc B on the 8th of November, and Disc C on the 22nd of November 2024.
Suddenly the future seems pretty Bonky!
Bonk Wave was, is, and will always be
Getting a bit more philosophical as 2024 comes to an end.
The Volume 003 release has shown that we've come together as an awesome, supportive, creative community of artists. It was still a lot of hard work to get Volume 003 over the line, but the lessons learned will make the next one easier – and there will be a next one. There's already discussion about a second remix album happening now – it's currently visible to contributors only – but give us a shout on the BonkBoard if you want to take part. The call for Volume 004 won't be too far into 2025.
As we grow, we're going to need to get a little more formal about some things – perhaps developing a written Code of Conduct for the forum that everyone can agree on, solidifying/clarifying/standardising the submission guidelines and expanding the moderation team. Hopefully we can do this without changing the way everything works now – robust conversations and strong opinions are the nature of the beast, but we can still keep it civil.
I also want to be clear, we still don't know what is, or is not, Bonk Wave. And there's a few things that are implied by that.
If we don't know what Bonk Wave is, we can't own it, or copyright it.
We do own, collectively, this pseudo-record-label called Bonk Knob Records, and we have a great community around the bonkwave.org website, but none of this implies ownership of Bonk Wave.
We should never forget where this comes from. How can any of us say, with a straight face, “That's Not Bonk Wave!” to someone else, when there's no clear definition of what it is?
There have been, and will be, people who use the term outside of our core group. Maybe even to make money out of it. We can't stop them. Should we even try? It doesn't feel right, unless they're actively trying to disrupt what we're doing.
There's probably little point in getting angry at people trying to rip off the idea, as there's very little we can do about it. If we keep doing what we do, and do it well, they will all fade away. Or join us!
And we will still reap the same benefits we do now – which is, no money, but a great sense of belonging!
but what is bonkwave? Is there a representative work?
Like, if you want to know about Vaporwave, I would paste for you a Macintosh Plus playlist I know of on youtube, because while it may or may not represent the entirety of the genre, it definitely represents the most important aspects of it.
I've been trying to find this for bonkwave.
edit: please don't ask me to sort out what is sarcasm and what is not when the thing says not bonkwave
maybe this is like, bonkwave's White Album where it's totally avant garde or else just weird rather than, you know, a rock'n'roll album. How would I know?
if you read the (admittedly long and boring) blog post linked above, you'll see that what you're asking for is, by definition, not possible!
I suggest seeking more answers by listening to the "Not What I Call Bonk Wave" compilations which you can find here: bonkwave.org/music - these are as definitive as it gets.
I did try to read it, but it seemed to be mostly concerned with the process of assembling a compilation, rather than explaining anything about the (proposed?) genre classification, or its features.
That said, I can say, from a quick scan of the vol 1 comp that Bonkwave is a sample-based subgenre of techno music. You could tell people that.
My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the “B.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC
@benda A company called Reel To Reel Tech based in Langley BC. It's taken me few years of not being able to connect to get this work done, mainly because I'm not living in the Lower Mainland anymore. And due to that I had to put a rush on the repair and pay a bit of a premium. Well worth it though.

it is how it goes sometimes. i appreciate the link. gonna bookmark and keep it on my radar, hopefully by the end of the year i can get this guy fixed up.
@benda Hope that it works out. I'm waiting on cables now so that I can get mine connected into the patch bays. They're on their way from Sudbury Ontario, hopefully the mail and courier strikes don't delay things too much.

Well, it depends on what you mean by 2D--like--YES, I can imagine that I would generally be drawn in an instinctual and even conscious, PURPOSED, manner to the archtype of bewb, even mommyism. And that's like, okay, fair enough.
Now do I like them flat? Well, I mean, I certainly like them pressed. Is that 2D? Perhaps you mean more specifically do I like them drawn? Well, are they not masterpieces--how would you say?--drawn flat, as in moving in one direction?--and by that I mean in Time. You see? Even 3D bewbs are then, you could say, pressed ALWAYS in a certain dimension.
And just as flat and unreachable! The memory image one can conjure of the 3D mommy milkers one has witnessed or is currently witnessing--beholding!--that very second are as drawn as the 2D Fern Funbags. It's truly, truly remarkable the... the lack of clear distinction.
openSUSE Leap 16.0 Beta: news "Leap 16.0 with its fresh fork brings a renewed foundation and cleaner system. Expected to be Wayland-only (some X.Org remnants remain for now). SysV init support has been dropped. The new Agama installer is now the default. The traditional YaST stack is retired in favor of: Cockpit for system management; Myrlyn as a drop-in replacement for the YaST Software GUI. Note: YaST is still available in Tumbleweed but will no longer be developed; YaST has been removed from Leap 16 and Myrlyn takes on this role of software installation like YaST. If someone is interested in the maintenance of YaST for further development and bug fixes, the source are available on GitHub. Leap 16.0 will no longer run on machines that do not support x86_64-v2. OpenSUSE developers decided to use x86-64-v2 microarchitecture level for Leap 16.0 instead of x86_64-v3 (which is used for SUSE SLE 16) as a compromise between SUSE being going forward and openSUSE users still needing support for older hardware. X86-64-v2 adds these CPU features: CMPXCHG16B (CX16), LAHF-SAHF, POPCNT, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4_1, SSE4_2 (these features were already supported into the 2008 Intel Nehalem architecture, excluding Intel-specific instructions)."
P.S. Logged as root, you can control if your CPU is compatible with future openSUSE Leap 16.0 with this command line:
lscpu | grep sse4_2 || echo "Your CPU is not compatible with Leap 16.0"
There are identity dimensions and there is history surrounding us all. Now our collective moral compass guides us to show respect and grief for the groups history's dictators belittle and murder. It's a show of goodwill for all humanity to show remorse for our history's mistakes, and decisiveness about the groups which we choose to pay the most attention and respect now. It's an act of solidarity and the least we can do to mourn those immeasurable losses and heal our most hurt family members.

Genuine word of advice - unless tech truly is your passion, don't enter it and consider exiting it. Don't do it because you think you'll get rich or have job security. Neither has been true for a long time. I have been through two very sour job markets, but this time honestly feels worse. And I probably have many advantages that you don't.

I remember working with colleagues who regarded syntax highlighting as a cognitive crutch to be discouraged.
I'll admit I never fully bought into it -- color schemes are fun! -- but I did try shutting it off for good while. I can't help thinking about how one arrives at such views, and what I might learn from them.
The principle I took from it (intended or not): highlighting desensitizes your eye and encourages skimming over code, jumping from symbol to symbol, rather than really seeing and studying it more deeply and carefully. If code is too noisy in plain monochromatic text, it can probably be made simpler, more concise.

Just in - White Farmer was killed today he was killed with a panga (machete) English: JUST IN: FARMER FROM PIET RETIEF HACKED TO DEATH WITH A MACHETE Veldbrand Newspaper, Piet Retief
According to received information, Moolman Meyer (67) was found brutally murdered on his farm in the Piet Retief district—hacked to death with a machete. His body, covered in slash wounds, was found next to a tractor, with blood spattered across the steering wheel. Only his cellphone is missing. Moolman had farmed on the property for approximately 50 years.
No further details are available at this time.

@benda I like it a lot! I can really lose myself in it, it's great to get out of mental dips. most of my creative hobbies are computer based, so it's cool to have an offline thing! 😊
I don't want to go gloves off again, I've been ignoring this fucking creep for the guts of a year now but he's joined up here and he's adding everyone that interacts with me, tagging me on other platforms and doing fake account crap.
I think I'm going to have to un-private some old blog posts and add an update post onto the end.
I'm going to sleep on it, I know he wants attention but I don't think people here will fall for his shit.
I'm just going to leave these here. I'll think about what I'm going to do tomorrow, either it's gloves off time or I'll delete all this, but for now, this is the sad man that's been harassing me for the last 4 years because I blocked him.
If this is what he wants, a mirror held up, a best of gallery of his bullshit, we can do this again.
I have tons of screenshots, years and years worth. Even his own online friends on Twitter, who he used to harass me- a bunch of them have turned on him.
I am very happy to go down this route and expose the bullshit again.
I would rather not, because it's all so childish, but maybe this can of worms needs opening again, it seems to be what the man is pushing for.
I can post screenshots for days, the great thing about my phone is I can put keywords into it and it sorts through all these screenshots people sent to me, or ones I took over the 4 years of bullshit.
I know you'll read this you fucking weirdo. I've tried pleading with you to move on, I'm not going to ask again.
Leave my circles alone, move on, stop your weird shit.
Leave me be.
Or don't, but you should know I'm not going to be the one that comes off looking like a complete loon, not on this platform. These people aren't Twitter morons impressed by the number of bots you have boosting your follower numbers.
