David Graeber got an economist to admit that he was not aware of single case where a company was fined more than the profit it turned breaking the law. He summarized this as the government saying: "Do all the crime you want, but if we catch you, you have to give us a cut."

Sometimes I have low-energy days and get the urge to pivot my career into another direction.

A bit less on my plate could be good for me, but my ambition is hard to keep in check.

I wish I could get to a point where I'd have a stable enough income on 20h/week so I can spend more time on my own projects.

@cwebber@octodon.social Oh! Was this a subtoot of this new flatpak app store thing? github.com/PlaintextGroup/oss-

@WildEnte Interesting. I already have a custom mail server along with like 4 work-related external accounts.

Do you know if their email client works as a web app outside of Vivaldi? I was hoping to have a similar use case to GMail, but for all my email accounts and self hosted.

@cblgh Interesting, ty! Is this a sort of Electron app?

I was hoping for something I could run on a server so that I didn't need to worry about native apps as much. 🤔

@kubikpixel If I'm understanding correctly, this is a mail server? I was hoping for a web frontend that would talk to my existing email servers. Do you know if they have some more concrete docs of what it's supposed to do? Not very obvious from their docs page.

Anyone know of a self-hosted client with a web interface for replacing gmail?

I've been using Evolution and Kontact and neither is particularly convenient when dealing with calendar invites, which is honestly my main need from email these days.

If you drag an emoji family with a string size of 11 into an input with maxlength=10, one of the children will disappear.

@cwebber@octodon.social Does guix make it easy to distribute to Mac/Windows in addition to different flavors of Linux by any chance?

@cwebber@octodon.social I feel like there's a lot of downsides to end users by having this restriction which would reduce adoption outside of tech people that care about this stuff very strongly.

In my experience the average person want's to do as little as possible to get something running. It's why app stores and websites are so popular IMO.

@cwebber@octodon.social Yeah totally. I appreciate it when I can just clone a repo and run `make && make install`.

Sometimes it's a huge pain in the ass if they expect you to have a specific OS/distro with a specific set of packages installed. 😭

@cwebber@octodon.social Just got whiplash imagining a world where I have to compile electron and chromium from source to install a shitty desktop app 🤣

Putting money into personal or community-owned infrastructure is a better hedge against inflation than any kind of money investment.

Money can be subverted by numerous legalistic, bureaucratic, or financial tools and means.

Physical infrastructure is the means by which we can build the tools of self-determinatiom.

If you have a community, establish infrastructure.

If you have infrastructure, find or establish a community.

Together, we are strong.

What will you build, and with whom?

Cool article on ChatGPT and Large Language Models. It does a good job of putting some of the worries I've had about people's misconceptions of how they work into words.

Is there a software or an app that, given a URL, can download the main body of text in a simple (e.g. markdown or minimal html) format?

Been thinking about link rot, I want to archive some interesting articles, social media posts, etc.

Any reason I shouldn't get a to replace my lil Intel NUC setup? Mostly for some dev workflows and having it docked into my large screen + my BT keyboard and trackpad.

Also been thinking it'd be handy to have for basic with and some sort of cheap headset like an Light

Neat! Looks like some folks have added support for the R1 to the engine.

Hopefully this will make it easier to build stuff for the less Big Tech side of :P

Godot+Lynx could be a nice alternative to Unity+Quest.

Starting to think AI was a conspiracy cooked up by Big GPU to sell people more GPUs sincr cryptomining isn't as fashionable these days.

At least the beefy GPUs will be doing something more funky

Also, I’m now referring to instances as “community servers”.

Admins and devs might prefer “instances”, but this is confusing to everyone else.

What people need to know is that they can run their own community on a “server” that they control.

@technobaboo Yeah..... I really hope they don't get any extra slowdowns. I'm just waiting to get one of these things.

It sucks that Facebook's thing is the main thing that people can just buy and use. At least it's still not great for productivity. :P
