SCAM ALERT
An elderly adult may go up to you and pinch your nose without your consent then claim to have stolen your nose
Do not attempt to pay them to reacquire your nose
They do not have your nose
Their supposed proof is just their thumb in between two of their fingers
Do not engage them
You still have possession of your nose
@sundew No bother at all. There's just two active browsers that support it right now. @agregore (made by me) and @peersky (made by @akhileshthite )
It's for loading / publishing data using peer to peer data transfer. Using this library: https://docs.pears.com/building-blocks/hyperdrive
Pretty happy with this web scraper thingie I put together the other week. Using this in place of bookmarks so I can save pages for later.

Someone on the internet is wrong, but, I must not be pedantic. Pedantry is the mind-killer. Pedantry is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the pedantry has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Is there a Fediverse alternative to Meetup? They are definitely following the bait-and-switch plan where they let you get used to a lot of no-pay features, then start charging for them (what Doctorow calls "enshittification"). A number of groups I'm in use Meetup, but the rising costs have us all looking for other platforms.
Any suggestions?
So…who hates those Google log-in pop-ups that are seemingly everywhere now? Wanna make them go away?
1. Get uBlock Origin (which you should have already been using):
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
2. Open the plugin and click the settings button.
3. Click on the “my filters” tab and paste this into the input:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p
That’s it! Worked flawlessly for me.
@dan_ballard @nflux Yeah I've been considering adding tor as a transport to Agregore but I was worried about security. Maybe setting the CORS to only allow html and no js / locked down css/images could be a start. Also Gemini is awesome.
Most types of business exhibit linear growth. But VC will only fund exponential growth.
The result: companies that would create a lot of jobs and actually maintain their products never get funded and never start. If you must hire more to make more product, that's unacceptable linear growth.
We live in an exhausting VC hype machine because it's more profitable to repeatedly hype up and cash out of short-term exponential growth spurts than to build something real.

@futureisfoss Yeah it's not ideal in that I have no clue how to theme it but I can confirm it gets the job done. 👍
TIL about "selectdefaultapplication". Now I don't need to fuss with xdg-mime whenever I want to stop VSCode from grabbing the default action for "open a folder" on #Linux
@gordon.bsky.social Linux desktop uses the message bus approach FWIW :o https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Bus
@gordon.bsky.social Oh cool I do a similar approach for Agregore actually. But instead of components listening on window I wire them up in a main "script.js" so I can keep the components separate from the data and general app shape. https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-browser/blob/master/app/ui/script.js
Got any code I could read?
@gordon.bsky.social Do you have links to the "island architecture w message bus" approach? :o
