After (way too many) hours of research and writing, I'm proud to present a comprehensive ASCII art tutorial, including sections about art styles and presenting ASCII art online and on print form. Cheers! https://arielmartinperez.com/pages/2026asciiarttutorial.html #ASCII #ASCIIart #tutorial #arttutorial #textmode #textmodeart #pedagogy #artProcess #computerArts #retro #illustration

17 July is the one day of the year when the calendar #emoji is correct! The word emoji combines the Japanese e (絵, picture) + moji (文字, character) and dates back to the late 80s. Its similarity to the English "emotion" is just a coincidence. Nowadays, emoji are standardised by the Unicode Consortium, a Californian non-profit that has its roots in facilitating a universal digital representation of the world's writing systems. #Unicode doesn't specify exactly how emoji should look – so they're different on Android and Apple devices, for example – but it lists their names. The first major character set used in computing was #ASCII, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, published in 1963. Using 7 bits, it could represent 128 characters — more than enough for a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9 and common punctuation marks, but certainly indicative of a North American worldview. Later "extended" versions of ASCII doubled this to 256 possibilities, allowing for dozens of accented letters, characters like æ and ß, and symbols like © and ¾. And double-byte character sets like Shift JIS meant that Chinese, Korean and Japanese could be represented in full. But multiple standards existed, and it became just a bit too common to see ����. The answer was Unicode: a single, multi-byte character encoding standard for everyone. Plus emoji! #language #i18n

Dev releases ‘unblockable’ ASCII video stream software, stoking fears of unstoppable ads — delivers 360p video at 30 FPS and acts as a ‘bridge for AI’ A new and unique ASCII video streaming solution has been released under the MIT license. ASCILINE Engine by YusufB5 is pitched as a “high-performance, real-time ASCII video rendering engine” that can be used to broadcast “an unblockable video stream.” 📺 https://www.tomshardware.com/software/video-editing-graphic-design/dev-releases-unblockable-ascii-video-stream-software-mode-5-rendering-puts-out-360p-at-30-fps-using-pure-text #ascii #video #stream #software #streaming #graphics #unblockable
