Shout out to Ted Nelson for giving us one of the greatest words in the english language.
So, Nelson gave us Dildonics in the mid 70s, which Howard Rheingold expanded to Teledildonics in 1990. It's a team effort. :D

#152Hi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!
Is there a list of supported devices I might have missed in my extensive 10 second search?
Re: Buttplug: An open-source software suite for teledildonics
#153This is actually an amazing project. I see they have an extensive list of devices already supported. People freely discuss on HN all the time about the security of private messaging between different people online and how corporations track and use this data against us as consumers, but it seems people are incapable of recognizing and discussing this maturely when in fact the same issues are present with teledildonic…
As cliche as it sounds, maybe sex will be what brings privacy to the internet.

Hopefully once the FFI bindings happen in Rust, yeah! We had someone produce a Go library right when the project started 3 years ago, but it's SUPER dated now and wasn't really supported much. https://github.com/funjack/golibbuttplug
I see... Problem for me would be that updating that library would mean an investment of all these different devices, and you know they ain't come cheap. Would it be an option to create a virtual device which could be populated with the hardware rules of each of these producers, to enable swift creation of bindings in all sorts of languages without quick aging of code?
This is something we get questions about constantly, more from the DIY side (where people want to make http://twitter.com/buttplugio

#155> Can support Bluetooth, USB, HID, Serial, and Audio controlled toys. What is an example of an audio controlled toy?! Does that mean voice commands, or does that mean some sort of high-frequency (outside human-audible range) binary channel? I looked but did not see.
perhaps the audio port (6.35mm) providing a data channel?
That is correct. (Though usually 3.5mm.)

#156Hi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!
Python support seems to be really lacking on your project. Why is that, lack of interest?

I HAVE VISITED THIS! I did a sex tech workshop like, 3 blocks away from it, and Paul McCarthy is a major influence on my work! :D
...if you would like a bespoke adorable mascot for this project, I do a lot of smutty art in Illustrator and would be interested. http://egypt.urnash.com has art and contact info. I would gladly take money but this might be a thing I'd think of doing pro bon(er|o) as well.
EGYPT! Extremely long time no see! (We've met before at FC and other south bay stuff but it was well over a decade ago, have some common links from Puzzlebox, etc)
Astolpho has been doing most of my art (like the squid buttplug on the buttplug.io page, and the Buttplug sommlier foxes on my patreon - http://patreon.com/qdot), but I'll try to contact you once I'm looking for more art, which I'm hoping will be soon, once I can get out of the code mines and back to applications work.

> Skyrim/Fallout 4 Not the titles I'd expect in the context of electrosex. (I'm oldschool so something in the vein of Leisure Suit Larry or Lula the porn studio management simulator would seem quite proper for me.)
It makes sense if you follow the modding scene surrounding those games.
The Skyrim lewd modding scene is W I L D.

#159Open source software really _has_ penetrated every niche.

holy fuck I have not thought of Astolpho in like a decade
and of course this turns out to be by someone I have run into before in the Yiff Mines :)
