people becoming interested in decentralized autonomous governance but somehow missing 200 years of anarchist theory and arriving instead at fake computer money is galaxy level political illiteracy
@rosano The main thing I hear over and over again js yhat they want to be where all the other people are. You can't talk features or dynamics when that's all that matters in the end. 🤷
20. These "power gloves" are cool for doing gestures and game controller input. Kinda too pricy for my taste, though

If the thing you depend on costs a lot of money to operate, and got a lot of "investment" (loans) to get it in everyone's face, it will inevitably screw you over once the true owners want to bleed it dry for cash. The alternatives might not be as "popular", but they're the only option to escape the cycle.
@hazematman @lfa This is a list I came across last time I looked into it. https://github.com/bkil/freedom-fighters/blob/master/en/service/web-search.md
It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.

• Crime on transit: −5.5% (safety in numbers)
• Serious injury crashes: −9%
• Illegal parking complaints: −14%
• Network delay from traffic jams: −28.4%

Even people who drive cars are now predominantly in favor.

animals enjoy my company, and I'm never without wheat. here, take some. *I hand you a scoop of grain from my apron pocket* there you are—but remember, nothing in life is free. you owe me something in return. I would like a binary-compatible drop-in replacement for libncurses written in rust. no worries, I can wait. you can write it through the winter, subsisting on the debt I have just loaned you. they call this leverage, in the finance world. I have many friends in that industry—bulls and bears, mostly.
Everything is isomorphic if you squint hard enough
I don't think the hype around "state of the art" small models like lfm2.5-thinking is warranted. Even if there's a bunch of "benchmarks" that they score higher on compared to other models of their "class", they're still to weak to perform tasks. Like all tiny models they're prone to babbling and getting confused.

TIL there's a way to declaratively show/hide `<dialog>` elements in #html using the `commandFor` attribute on `<button>` elements.
