Are there business models out there that aren't just rent-seeking with extra steps? Is getting paid for labor something businesses still do?

@gwil Time to organize more of your information spatially? :o

Once I can get a decent VR setup I've been wanting to migrate to @stardustxr and start storing notes and tabs in spatial corners of my workspace.

cryptocurrency, tokenomics 

Are people that aren't already wealthy actually making money on "tokenomics"? Like, I get the promise of cryptocurrency enabling microtransactions for contributing to either compute or content and people getting paid for that, but is it actually worth it for the average person?

Can a person pay for rent and food from some distributed compute project if they don't already have lots of disposable income?

Anyone know some profane word filter lists that focus exclusively on hate speech?

I don't want to have to filter things like ass and shit just to get rid of racial slurs

Just for fun I created an account on #reddit and started to reply to /r/AskReddit posts using #chatgpt generated responses. Everyone thinks they are legit - they are being replied to, up voted. It is a bit overly formal and wordy in places and also it isn't using a consistent persona across all the replies, but I think that can be easily fixed with a more complex prompt that encourages terseness and gives it a persona.

I'll make another account and fix that.

Hey, remember when we learned that a right-wing terrorist network extensively planned a violent coup to overthrow the German government and constitution and establish a reactionary, ethnic nationalist, authoritarian monarchy with them as its leaders, and this network included members of the German judiciary, the police, one of its major political parties, the army, and members of the bourgeois (and formerly royal) societal elite? That was earlier this week.

(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!
