Low key all I want from any computing device is to be able to open up a terminal and mess with its guts.

This is why I love the web and `inspect element` so much.

GNOME's devtools are kinda cool, but it's way more constrained.

Feeling nostalgic about some experiments I did 3 years ago where I was live editing virtual scenes in on my shitty Android phone with Google Cardboard.

I'm still a believer that speech based programming could be viable for making simple interactions possible in

We don't talk enough about the absurdity of rich countries emitting lots of CO₂ and then asking poor countries to offset those emissions.

Excited for this to come in so I can start messing with key bindings. I'm guessing I can get some speech to text combined with tab completion from key bindings to boost my productivity.

Might also be nice for taking public transportation in the future.

Sad that the battery life sucks so hard, but that's what my omnicharge is for I suppose. :P

transhumanism, crapitalism 

Honestly having a digital brain wouldn't be so bad if not for us existing in a capitalist hellscape.

Reading Greg Egan's writing gives me so much hope for being able to surpass my body's physical limitations. Sadly it's science fiction and I'll likely be stuck in this shell for my existence.

Bananas that Github actually had to issue a fresh SSH cert.

Thinking that instead of making a new fsdiverse implementation from scratch it'd be cool to have a "sidecar" that attaches to Mastodon's database and exposes new intefaces for custom clients.

One idea we talked about a few months back was users designing their own algorithms for their feed. I'd like one that would show the most recent post (singular) from every person I follow. This would surface content from less frequent posters. Call it a "check in" page. This shouldn't be default, but rather a sorting option you could toggle. #feeds #algorithm #mastodonSuggestions

@ryanramage Yeah! I just finished Diaspora a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved it. It was cute how the AI lifeforms has their own pronouns. Currently reading Schild's Ladder.

Some folks turned me onto Greg Egan's writing. Gotta say I can't believe I've been missing out on all of this for so long! Lots of greathard with transhumanist storylines and graphs.

@pere @forgejo Sweeet. Thank you for the heads up. Federated code collab is one of the things I'm most excited by in tech right now. Maybe once the stuff stabilizes a bit we could chat about deploying some of this stuff to mesh networks?

@pikhq "intellectual property" is a scam invented by the wealthy so they can try to own ideas,. Thoughts! As if owning everything in the physical world isn't enough!

Neat! I'm considering deploying a instance to start mirroring some of my Github repos with a longer term goal of having all my git/code stuff on the fediverse as @forgefed gets implemented in more contexts.

ForgeFed

Seeking #developer #advice ❤️ 🤔

We want to create a webby GUI app for accessing federated forge network, a bit like Element is to Matrix 🖥️

Been considering to write from scratch using Tauri, Tailwind, didn't pick a language :git:

Now considering to fork #GitHub Desktop instead! Replace GitHub API with ForgeFed and tweak the UI etc. :github:

github.com/desktop/desktop

It's an existing codebase with over 33k commits

Is it a good idea to fork? Thoughts/concerns/advice? And boost 🙏

I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse. I'm worried about the "VCs subsidize AI tech and sell it at a loss just long enough to make everyone rely on them (aka 'disrupting the knowledge worker industry') before bumping the price up and quality down just like Uber and Amazon and the rest" apocalypse. #ai #vc
