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: docs.pears.com/building-blocks

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.

Update on this: proper sleep and food is the opposite of bad. Who knew?? 🤷

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?

Apparently lack of sleep and food paired with lots of physical and mental exertion is bad. 🤔 TIL

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):

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.

and @emz!)

@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. 👍

Lucky to be resilient. Unlucky to need to be resilient. 👻

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

Some thoughts are the sort of niche mundane that I have nowhere to post them but my own mind. 🤷

I've come to believe there are basically two good architectures for apps: - Elm App Architecture: strict tree of state machines - Message bus: no direct parent-child relationships, everything connected via messages over one bus

It's just something that I've been playing with... Simplest version: - Components emit custom events for requests like "toggle sidebar" - Sidebar component listens on window for bubbled "toggle sidebar" events. Components don't need to know about each other, they just pub/sub custom events.

@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. github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregor

Got any code I could read?

@gordon.bsky.social Do you have links to the "island architecture w message bus" approach? :o
