Wishing to thank you for your comment, please, do tell. Can imagine it would have been (inspiring, etc.).-



They are exactly like you'd imagine from their online work.

Extremely passionate about ecology. Pessimistic about where the world is headed but optimistic about our individual ability to cope with it.

Super into low-level programming and old school pixel art and that whole aesthetic.

Absolutely full of stories about sailing. And just completely present in conversation.

Therein lies one key, methinks. I find that refreshing. It seems a viable "compromise", and, a solution to "data disaster driven dispair" :)

... faith in the individual.-

Incredible.-

Many thanks for sharing.-


Extremly passionate about ecology but lives in a boat....


How is this a contradiction?


Buying something that will last 10 years instead of buying a home that will last generations. Even more, most likely this people already had a home.

Is like buying a electric car while you have a luxury ICE that works, is a waste of resources. I dont really mind, but dont say you care about the enviroment.


The boat is ~40 years old (per their website).

    Our sailboat is a Yamaha33, a 1982 masthead sloop fiberglass sailboat. - https://100r.co/site/pino.html


Using a diesel motor 40 year old does not sound very enviromentaly friendly.


It's a sailboat. They do most of their transitting under sail not power.

You're trying really hard to be contrary here, but it's not working. Devine is not claiming to be ecologically perfect. They're just trying to be as ecologically efficient as they can while living a life that feels meaningful and rewarding to them.


Nice pivot


How about an Open "sourced" boat design?


while I get and mostly agree with your point, their boat is 40+ years. And may last 40 more if properly maintained.


You being in awe of them is very relatable to me lol. I discovered them a few years ago and seem to be surrounded by people that just don't "get it". A lot of people think programming and/or computer science as a way to make art, as a tool.

What I think is cool about 100r is that it is not "computer generated art" or "digital art", but rather "computer science/language design/programming as art". It's like they have this respect and reverence for it that I've often felt, and I often feel isolated in feeling.


> that it is not "computer generated art" or "digital art", but rather "computer science/language design/programming as art".

And, what an enormous difference there is, between these two things.-
