(there are plenty of people in #advertising today who are sympathetic to #adReform, but pitching a post-surveillance ad project to work or clients now is like pitching an HTML5 project when almost all users had Flash installed. Advertisers are always a couple steps behind early adopter users, and ad-supported sites are at best one step behind advertisers #endSurveillanceCapitalism is going to be tech early adopters first, followed at some point by innovative advertisers+sites, then more users)

Fellow library workers -- please pass around word about @libraryland.social - a Mastodon instance set up for public librarians, academic librarians, school librarians, archivists and other library workers to share ideas, inspirations, questions, announcements and the like. If you're looking for a new home to move to after landing at mastodon.social -- that might be your new home.

@capyloon Yeah! One thing I hope we have time to make is a js-fiddle type interface so you can make tiny web apps and share them along with an edit button. Also we could edit the fiddle from within itself to make it easier for others to iterate 🤯

@mauve @cblgh Great news! I think it's critical to showcase how easier it is to build *and distribute* apps using dweb protocols and platforms. It's still too abstract and we need tangible demonstrations (and no, http hosted apps that bridge you to dweb are not good enough for that).

@cblgh Ty! I'm very excited for it. Hopefully it'll make it easier to onboard people into this space and make p2p web development generally more accessible. 💜

@cblgh We're going to be starting with IPFS based apps for this iteration, but I'm hoping to get a bigger grant from FFDW afterwards to fund work on apps with other protocols like hypercore and Earthstar. Probably also do more work on Agregore Mobile as part of that too.

Also! The cool thing about this is that our apps might be compatible with @capyloon which is also incorporating IPFS protocol handlers into their stack!

@cblgh We're going to make a bunch of small web apps for @agregore and write up tutorials for how to make those apps.

We're going to do three sprints with 4 devs making apps+writeups on those apps. So potentially we'll have like 12 little apps to play with and tutorials on how to make them.

Also going to write retrospectives on what we learned about usability and needed improvements at the end of each sprint. 😁

mental health, adhd 

@yhancik@octodon.social The browser part is actually a lot less effort than my client work since the feature set is so minimal. 😅

But yeah no clue how I get any of that done. Probably borrowing form my future lifespan or something.

mental health, adhd 

Honestly, I'm amazed when I'm able to get anything done. ADHD makes it so difficult to do even the most basic things like feeding myself so anything I manage above that feels like a miracle. 😅

Writing grants and getting them approved + getting everything signed is such a pain in the ass, but it feels nice to get the final bits together and to get started on the work!

Thanks to Blender's team, Wayland is so absurdly smooth on desktop and has a fancy transparent 3D View background, also works in stardust now!

@jauntywunderkind420@cybre.space have you seen the work @cblgh did on Trustnet? Subjective moderation in decentralized systems is cool af.

computer shit 

@whoisgina god, flashback to when I finally got Chromium compiling. Build tools can take so much energy sometimes. 😭

computer shit 

that high you get after successfully configuring some very specific abstract build tooling, where it's too boring to brag about really but you feel like a god

Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.

Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:

They're seeking 75 patrons in December to keep themselves afloat, consider donating to this amazing cause.
