I may have discovered a word that is apparently missing from the English language.
Pleonexia is the condition of being greedy, based on an ancient Greek word. (Apparently greed is not new.)
Pleonectic is the adjective.
But what about the one exhibiting this characteristic? What do we can him, her, or it?
Pleonect seems like the obvious choice, but even Google has no prior awareness of the word. The Lumo chatbot thought it was a reasonable form, but had no evidence of its use.
Used in a sentence: Pleonects are enemies of humanity
Everyone already knows that greed is the main problem with human beings. But somehow they don't seem to register that the richest among us are, basically by definition, the worst cases.
Oligarchs, plutocrats, broligarchs, all of them, the pleonects, they should be ashamed of themselves.
There is no other way to say it. They take more than their fair share, and it is not taken from nothing.
Real zero-sum "games" do exist, in case anyone may be thinking that it is possible for the poorest to live, while the rich are partying. That the wealthy fly around in jets DOES make it more expensive for others to simply get to work.
No, those who take more than their share, take it from somewhere, from someone, and it is not right. There is a reason that we dislike pleonexia when we see it. It is odious.
It is shameful. We must point that out. Announce it to the world. Shine our lights on it.
That pleonects exist at all, tells us about our base nature, not about our humanity.
That they would rise in a society, is an index on the justice of the society.
That they inhabit the realms of social and political power, should set off all of the alarms.

Aristotle: "The greatest crimes are committed not from necessity, but from excess."
Tesla shareholders just approved a $1 trillion package for someone worth $473 billion.
This isn't about Musk. It's about pleonexia—unlimited desire—and what happens when "enough" ceases to exist.

One more format view finished for #SceneGate: palette viewer 🎨
This view will replace the one from Tinke.
Now I will create a variant that will allow us to guess palette formats by providing the offset and color format.

Hexadecimal viewer for binary content ready in #SceneGate Made with Avalonia 11.
It's quite basic as a full-feature hex editor is a complex project.
I would love to use HexEditorControl by Droppers but it was made with Avalonia 0.10 and the migration doesn't seem easy.
https://github.com/Droppers/HexEditorControl -
I've finished updating all the #SceneGate libraries to use the latest preview version of #Yarhl v4.0 :allthethings:
They support now .NET 8.0 as well.
Next, I'll continue working on the UI tool.

I finally implemented a feature I always wanted to try related to sprites in games. The ability to export them in a standard format that supports layer (TIFF).
Now graphic editors can edit the text easily without getting a clean background first.
Also importer tools can get better compression by re-using the button background across similar sprites.As an example a sprite from a DS game in NCER format exported as TIFF and opened in GIMP.

Can we at least say it was a close attempt? 😅
Getting "closer" on my sprite image importer tool for Nintendo DS games.
At least the NCER format (de)serializer works... -
I have just released for the last time #Tinke. The repository is now archived.
https://github.com/pleonex/tinkeIt has been a great experience to develop this tool. Thanks to it I learnt to code, discovered my passion for reverse engineering and met amazing communities.
Several years ago I started a new project with a modern design to replace it: #Yarhl and #SceneGate
https://github.com/SceneGateIt's still work in progress but I think it looks promising!
Let's keep building amazing open-source stuff. -
This weekend, I've built a small tool to export your #Splitwise account data: Explitwiser
https://github.com/pleonex/explitwiserMade with C#, it uses their official REST API.
It saves the expenses for all your groups, including any linked image like receipts and user avatars, in JSON format. -
Lakota philosophy refers to money as "Green Frog Skin"—a poignant warning against mistaking a medium of exchange for the life force it represents.
After 40 years in accounting and finance, I see the same pattern in organizational life: a "pleonexia" where the pursuit of more drives out actual meaning.
I’m exploring these intersections of wisdom traditions and modern business.
