tech rambling
One thing that irks me about how a lot of tech uses infinitely scrolling "timelines" and the such is that most apps don't keep track of your progress if you navigate away.
If I'm viewing something I probably want to keep going from where I left off unless I explicitly want to go to the top.
RSS readers, Google's podcast thing, Mastodon Web (twitter in general), etc.
At least browsers sometimes preserve the scroll for me if it's a full page navigation. 🤷

The fastest computations are the ones you don't need to make.

@resuna @tommorris i said before that AI can simulate a dev who can talk their way past the interview and doesn't know what they're doing

Finally got a chance to play with @capyloon
Really cool that can so easily develop for it right on the desktop.
@cblgh Congrats! I' excited to see the final result and to dig around in the tradeoffs of the spec 🥰🥰

just published an update on the #cabal side of things, including news on the nlnet grant we secured and are just starting work on! :>
@GeeksLoveDetail It's nice. It's got a different feel than West of Loathing but I think it's a good thing since they're iterating on the mechanics and structure.
Can't wait for it to come out on the switch so I can replay it there too. 😁
I decided to become a cheese wizard with a minor in insectology

now ChatGPT seems really impressive and all but you have to remember that you can be tricked into thinking a rock has feelings by drawing a cute face on it
re: cryptocurrencies, humbled
@garbados Honestly I would love it if there was a viable alternwtive to gov/ US controlled financial transactions that didn't just empower the ultra rich further.
My hot take is that web3 / blockchain stuff was never decentralized. Right from the start it's been centrally managed servers, but with the ability to federate. The amount of effort it takes to run the infra means only a few orgs actually could 🤷

"The fact that the decentralized web isn’t decentralized is not a secret. Plenty of people can see that Web3 is centralizing far faster than Web2 ever did, they simply don’t care. They’re hoping to position themselves in such a way that they either become part of the monopoly, or at least get bought out for a nice chunk of change along the way."

Capitalism does not require us to “work or starve.”
It requires us to perform labor *for property owners* or *be starved by property owners.*
You have ancestors who lived before wage labor. They didn’t starve to death because they lacked jobs and wages.
You do not lack any of the faculties they possessed. You do not lack any of their abilities to sustain themselves by their own effort.
What you lack is *permission* from property owners.

I despair about how many talented people are using Substack when we know exactly where that whole mess is headed.
Should I shitpost on main or make a shitposting alt? 🤔🤔🤔
@capyloon Yooooooo. I wonder if it works in Agregore Mobile out of the box too 🤯
@capyloon That's so cool! Is this uaing the new post support in the gateway?
