Overview

A demo of Deldo, an Emacs package that lets Emacs hooks trigger vibration events on computer-controllable sex toys. It is an absurd teledildonics project that is half performance art.

HN mostly links it as a joke in Emacs threads, though one commenter calls the video the most interesting part of the Deldo project.
