@indutny OMG imagine having to do all this without source code. It's such hell. Hell enough even with source code 🤣
Ahhh, I really want to save up for a #EUC ! They look so cool and portable. I'd love to use it instead of my car to get groceries and stuff. Bikes are too cumbersome for me and walking is way too far where I live.
I think I'd also settle for non shitty public transit too. 🤪
@lenore1 Also remembering to wear them at all.
@lenore1 It's like a special treat for my eyes. 🤓
@samplereality This says a lot about society 🫠
Federated timelines in mastodon are cool in that they increase post visibility and increase the opportunities for finding people you wouldn't otherwise, but it also removes a lot of the social context of seeing people based on who you're following.
I find this often leads to people bumping heads due to a lack of shared context and making negative assumptions that lead to endless discourse instead of finding each other through positive and building mutual understanding.

SecureScuttlebutt ( #SSB ) is a great example of this where you see content from people you know or people that people you know know. This gives you the opportunity to listen to your intermediate connections for nuance rather than assuming whatever negative thing the post is coming off as.
Also makes room for moderation based on who you trust for moderation rather than only having the option of your instance moderators.
@cuaxolotl Yeah, I think it's a matter of time for this stuff to get more mainstream as some of these experimental approaches turn into tools that regular people would use.
#p2p #ActivityStreams present a new dynamic for #moderation where interactions are opt-in based on your social network rather than entire servers.
It also means that instances moderating content could leave room for individuals to connect to people they feel they don't want moderated.
E.g. some folks draw the line at blatant racism and transphobia, some folks draw the line at not explicitly hating cops. Right now lines apply to entire communities, but it could be individuals.
Netflix’s definition of a “family” is the latest example of technology biases written by and for rich white men and their families, ignoring the needs of billions of people living in the real world — @pluralistic
@cuaxolotl Yeah! They've been on my radar for a while. The docs and tools don't feel very accessible at the moment, but I think the concept is very cool.
@baliceauxPelican I had about as much pain getting GNOME to accept calendar invites. Setting up Evolution and mucking around there took almost as long. 🤣
Honestly my best email experience was using the default mail client in Windows 7 back in the day.
@JackDeeth@mastodon.online @jackdaw_ruiz At least I have the right number of hearts. Just gotta get the colors right. Maybe adding "photorealistic, trending on artstation" to my prompts will help.

@rogersherman I think the main culprit here is Google trying to force me to jump through a dozen hoops to use a mail client with raw SMTP/POP3. 🫠
Had to give Google my phone number to enable 2fa so I could register my authenticator app so I could remove the phone number and then create an "app password" and configure my mail client to use that.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
