@cblgh @adz That sounds lovely! I've also been wanting to do a more active push on making local-first tech usable for folks this year via folks at Hypha and Wakoma.
I'd love to join in on chats if there's space. 💜
Especially since there's so many folks getting better at grant writing and getting connections for work. Lots of opportunity to pool resources and skills.

…And on that last note, I’ve been trying to find alternatives to Raspberry Pi – would be very interested if folks have any leads… especially to boards that can be used for education.

The nature of my work is that I won't know what my work situation will be like from month to month. New projects start and end about ever 6 months and it's a constant flow of chaos.
I really like it for the flexibility and novel stimulus, but the lack of long term stability has been a bit stressful sometimes.

There's some embedded cultural commentary on the fact news stories are asking if ChatGPT will replace your job instead of your boss's job.
It'd be cool if there was a standard for encrypted chat that was as easy to use as RSS feeds were for blog data.
I basically use my Matrix server with its bridges for that purpose, but it's with a lot of difficulty.
Also, feels like I should get back into RSS. :P

"Thanks for coming in for an interview. I see now you're an 'AI Researcher.' Unfortunately we don't allow stuff like ChatGPT work products, no matter how good the prompt."
"No, you don't understand, I specialize in researching AI."
"Like an AI artist? Again, we are not interested in machine-generated work. I don't think you're a match for this job I'm sorry."
@garbados Become an anarcho-authoritarian. 🤪

In my opinion, ChatGPT really exposes the edifice of centering college around tests instead of instruction. This ignores what they should be measuring and how the world actually works, which is vibes.

The worst thing about having your password stolen is having to rename the dog.
@makeworld Ascended. She reached the final form in those "Galaxy brain" meme macros.
@am@decept.org Yeah thank you for the grounding. I think this year there will be more opportunities to work with folks now that we're getting some docs and example apps for Agregore.
@garbados Front or back loaded?
@am@decept.org Maybe a little, but mostly a friend of mine linked me to an open source project and I felt a bit jealous of how useful and cool it is. I'm just gonna use this feeling to keep pushing to make things for people to use.
This was the tool: https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer
Jeeze. Hopefully I can yield some open source thing that's actually useful to people. 😭
@makeworld Oh yeah! Before I went to nano I used micro all the time. Absolutely love it.
I think I switched because adding my nanorc on a new machine or VM I was ssh'd into was easier than getting micro installed.
Or worst case at least nano would tell me how to quit if I forgot. 😜
So far this rollator is looking like what I'd want. Might see if I can find one in meatspace to try out first. https://www.lucasmobility.com/en/lucas-rollator.html
@ninabreznik I think the sitting part is particularly important to me. Especially if I'm out somewhere like a conference or something where I might be in crowds. I'll defs look into hiking sticks though.
Also for context, I'd need to be able to get it shipped to Canada if it's not already something I can just buy in a store.
Not sure if this will reach the right audience, but do folks have recommendations for walkers? I've been thinking of getting one so I could have something to lean on and sit down when I'm out and about.
Preferably with a seat and collapsable.
Boosts and links would be appreciated. 🙇
@makeworld Best life improvement I had with CLI editing was to set up nano to use the same bindings as every graphical editor so that I wouldn't need to think too hard about it. :P
