There were several ways that second vision failed; it's not totally wrong in itself, I think, but it missed how a) unhappy and cruel people can gravitate together by free choice, making each other more cruel (ie 4chan), b) freedom of association can be weaponised by infrastructure capitalists as a means of surveillance, control and lock-in (Amazon, Facebook), and c) freedom of choice is never absolute, and people can put up with a lot of cruelty in order to find a tiny quantum of kindness

Tee hee. Instead of getting anything off of my todo list today I spent 6 hours looking at chromium source code. Ha ha so ditzy of me. 😜😜😜

Awful / non-existent documentation has been good for me since it's made reading other people's code that much easier

One of the unexpected joys of the fediverse over other places is the addition of weird domains appended on to everyone's usernames.

Love too do the bureaucracy dance for the government every year just to give them money. 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

I think I'm gonna be complaining a lot less about build times than are more than a few seconds long now that I've regularly had to run chromium builds overnight. 🤪

@davegomez it's in the account settings "import and export. You need to have access to both accounts

@straw Yeah, zeronet is cool. I think some of the protocol can be really limiting though from what I've heard and it seems it hasn't been as active lately.

A lot of my work lately has been with since there's been more funding in that area. 😅😅

@straw absolutely it counts! One of the OG p2p networks. 😤😤 I've been looking into using then to serve web pages and stuff lately

@straw folks that use or make peer to peer protocols.

Also mesh / community run networks are up my alley right now. 😁

Once I get more time I'll set up an account for on here so I can cross-post between Twitter and Mastodon for it.

@forever@fedi.nullob.si Ok but what about ඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞඞ

Fuck, I should have called it "Mauvestodon". 🤷

@sofia lol! That is me. It's usually not easy to spell either. 🤪

Next project I work on I'm gonna think harder about phonetics.
