Der Anteil von professionellen Firmen beim Sammeln von #Unterschriften für Initiativen ist grösser als bisher bekannt. Ein Test zeigt, wie Unterschriften mit Hilfe eines #Plotters gefälscht werden könnten. Die Einführung von #eCollecting bietet die Chance zur sicheren und vertrauenswürdigen Sammlung von Unterschriften. Es müssen aber #Anforderungen an den Datenschutz, die Datensparsamkeit, die Transparenz und Freiwilligkeit eingehalten werden.

Moin!
Ich habe jetzt mal das #Unboxing des #Plotters in meinen nagelneuen #Peertube Account geladen:

.. the builder speculates about how far away he can be and with how much money, before the buyer finds that the footings have, in fact, no feet, the septic tank is one foot deep with a tendency to flow backwards, and the bricks owe a lot to that most organic and venerable of all building materials, cow shit. The whole business traditionally begins with a plot, in every sense of the word.”

#Plotter vs #pantser We’re getting ready for the blowhard, pushy board Helene to show up uninvited at our house tomorrow, and I’ve been feeling a little agitated about it. So today, I wrote an unexpected tornado (yeah, because hurricanes give warning and tornadoes don’t always) into my book. #Plotters, can you do that? No, I didn’t think so…
It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.

![Meme showing images from the 2024 Olympics, in the target shooting contest. On the left, the athlete is dressed in fancy specialized clothing, with special targetting eyewear and gloves designed for the sport. Their posture is alert and tight, with both hands on the gun as they face sideways and look sharply over their right shoulder.
On the right, the athlete from Turkey is wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He has no speciality gear, and is wearing his standard prescription glasses. His posture is incredibly relaxed and casual, with his left hand resting in his pants pocket, and only his right hand holding the gun.
The meme text calls the first one a “Plotter” and the relaxed Turk a “Pantser.”
[These are terms used to describe the two approaches to writing fiction, one which uses a lot of planning, and the other where the author writes “by the seat of their pants.”]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/112/918/574/981/764/036/original/bc02af765101a44b.jpg)
Vera Molnár, Computer Art Legend Who Drew with #Plotters and #algorithms Dies at 99

Plotter software progress; got line-avoiding-lide algoritm working. #penplotting #penplotters #plotters
Rewrote my plotter algorithm generator application, getting first promising results. Just a basic edge/perlin walker up and running. #penplotting #penplotters #plotting #plotters #qt #c++
There are two major types of writers. Pantsers write by the seat of their pants and even they don’t know what happens next. Plotters move from one stage to another, always seemingly knowing what is coming up next.
If writing a book was murder, pantsers would be second degree murderers who only come up with that decision in the heat of the moment. Plotters would be first degree murderers, who carefully plan their moves with the intent of outwitting the police. Or home detectives if that is the goal.
But wait. Writers do commit murders as a matter of course. Without any tears shed by them, they blatantly kill off characters in their books. Indeed, maybe the characters lost to editing, might be called manslaughter to get the full range of killers in this essay.
First degree murderers are the most feared. Precisely because they plan. If they are good enough planners they might get away with it and be on to their second, third and fourth murders.
Second degree murderers are hotheads who seemingly demand a high degree of respect. Despite the fact that you seemingly have to tiptoe around these people the most, they aren’t considered the worst by society. That’s because you don’t know who a first degree murderer is and although you probably should tiptoe around them as well, you don’t know who it is you need to tiptoe around.
We’ve all read books where someone you like dies. The real killer is of course the writer. The writer thought they were throwaway enough to not be necessary to the penultimate ending.
With the pantser, you can get mad at them all you want. They will laugh in your face. That’s just the way things are, they might tell you. Life is fundamentally a game of chance. And that is represented in their story.
But with the plotter, you know that the plotter deliberately made you care about the individual that they knew must be killed. It was in the plan all along. If you complain they might take it out on a character in their next book, the one after that or even after that.
So obviously the plotter is worse. But beware, The plotter may know this and always say s/he’s a pantser in order to curry some favour with her/his disappointed readers. These are obviously the worst writers of all. Unmasking them, however, is the hard part. Indeed, all pantser writers may be fiction, brought in as an idea just to make plotters not look so bad.

Today in my ongoing saga of a #einkcyberdeck: I've discovered that #rust #plotters is fully backend agnostic, which would allow me to use it to plot directly to the e-ink native image buffer by implementing the DrawingBackend trait:
https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters/blob/7c1f8ec41ae9e70b91c3427bd19c929ac45fb31d/plotters-backend/src/lib.rs#L106
How have I never heard of the Sears Type-O-Graph? According to Ted Munk, it’s a “mini-penplotter typewriter” manufactured by Brother. (https://typewriterdatabase.com/1984-brother-typeograph.7064.typewriter) Please get this before I do. I have no room or use for it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224615593140?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338620051&customid=type-o-graph&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
I did benchmark a function in Julia with BechmarkTools, so JIT compilation is not the problem here.
I only need a good plotting library now in Rust. Don't get me wrong, #plotters is nice, but it needs more love :blobcattilt:
I keep a Youtube channel where I post some snippets of my experiments in #generative art, #plotters, #robotics, #arduino, #raspberrypi and more. Take a look and please subscribe:

I've updated my open source CNC Text tool with many single line fonts. It's perfect if you want to quickly make #plotter / #cnc friendly SVG text in the browser.

@smranaldi I have used Julia and would recommend it for this field. But I wanted to try Rust for numerical computations very soon. Check out #polars, #ndarray and #plotters.
In this case, the more civilised age was in 1989 and the weapon is a photo plot attachment LP 2002 for exposing film. It came with two pens of 0.18mm and 0.25mm diameter and a control box which can be connected to most #plotters.
