Power outage around my city from freezing rain. Luckily my cell connection still works. We couldn't cook anything so we ordered some take out. 5 of us sitting at the table chatting with the candle light.

I find myself saying "community-owned independent social media sites" rather than "fediverse" in mixed company because it gets a much better reaction (active interest rather than blank stares)
I realize that the venn diagram of the two does not overlap perfectly but the overlap is precisely the stuff I actually care about and I'd rather be inaccurate in a way that garners interest than similarly-inaccurate in a way that doesn't
@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah! And even if you run the pod, you need to be always connected to it to use it.
Also pods don't provide ways to query through data efficiently out of the box, so applications end up having to load everything and build indexes anyway. 🙃
It's at least a step in the right direction though.
Though TBH my initial approach would have been better for a purely streaming mode where we process and chunk the WARC file on the fly. Now I need to be able to do random access to a WARC either on the FS or via Range queries over the network.
Due to my hubris I am in the process of rewriting my zip file parser from scratch. :P At least now I have experience using the particular APIs and the things I need to watch out for from using Blobs.
@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah! Solid is pretty cool, but right now it's all very tightly coupled with servers and central-ish ownership. I kinda want to take their data model but make all the data resolving local / p2p by default.
@lykso Yeah! I think one limitation though is that a lot of apps need a database that can potentially be accessed by multiple apps at once.
IMO it'd be nice if we could take the Semantic Web data model, combine it with SPARQL/Triple Pattern Fragment Queries, and make it available at the OS level.
You also get a sort of directory, but with structure data which can be explored.
@zkat Yeah that's a great one to catch with linter rules. Then for when you want to iterate over keys use Object.keys with for of.
Pre for-of js was so much more annoying IMO. V happy with how the language has evolved
Really wish there was an OS that forced apps to decouple their data layer from their UI layer so that users could bring different UIs to the same data or combine multiple data providers in one Ui.

Spent a few mins tonight messing with the Desktop Mode on my #SteamDeck
So far so good! Running Manjaro with KDE for a few months seems to have prepped me well. Hopefully this weekend I can set up my dev environment. I now have sudo so the sky is the limit 🥰
3. Probably instead of the Nreal Air I'll get the https://air.rokid.com/ since the app is installable in Canada and I like the look more. :P
Also seems about as compatible with my Steam Deck.
TIL that the speed at which I use my TTS app for reading books is borderline incomprehensible to folks.
When I'm listening to it it feels like "normal speed" speech. When I lose focus or pay attention to regular sounds I hear it for what it is which is funky to think about.

Testing Hubzilla again, one federating software i found, that installs on shared hosts with Cpanel, but w/o (real) root access.
The concept of a "nomadic entity" is enticing.
This is part of a grant project i 'm currently working on & to show, that we artists & musicians can do _much_ better in _not_ submitting our own audience to personalized user tracking etc.
We've to demonstrate through our own use of tech, how to do this right.
Please follow
@jrp for more.

It's incredible how much space is given to a few people in motor vehicles vs so many more people on foot or wheels. It's a vast inequity.
Nowhere is this more stark than #ShibuyaCrossing; the world's busiest pedestrian crossing with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Compared to around 12 cars fromone direction of the junction in one sequence. #Urbanism #CitiesForPeople

Last year I sat looking at my psychologist, explaining that I couldn't come out as a #trans woman, because I couldn't face the hate that would come at me from every direction. She told me, bluntly, "Get off Twitter. The real world isn't like that."
Since I came out, other than keyboard warriors, I have been embraced and cared for in ways that I literally could not imagine, I have been accepted and loved well.
This afternoon, I sat face to face with some friends and had The Conversation, again. With the same outcome.
Acceptance, & support. Care for both my wife and I, as we grapple with something that I spent the last 7 years trying to avoid, for her sake above all else.
I've always tried to be authentic, consistent, and transparent (no pun intended).
I don't know if that's the reason that the people I've had The Conversation with have treated me the way they have, if I'm just privileged to know a bunch of wonderful folks, or if it's just that most Australians aren't transphobes, but this has been a blessing beyond words.
So this is my #TransJoy, and even though I know it may not always end up like this, I just wanted to share it.
@ohmrun@mastodon.social Sadly I don't have time to mess with new languages. Tbh this TypeScript stuff is only coming up because clients want it. I'll keep it in the back of my mind for a rainy day though, ty. 🙇
I feel like I could like #TypeScript more if it wasn't full of glaring holes as soon as you get outside of the most mundane uses of #JavaScript.
Today's trouble has been brought to you by TypeScript not knowing that a WHATWG ReadableStream defines `[Symbol.asyncIterator]` for use with `for await`.
In JS I can just use it. For TS I now need to monkey patch definitions before I can run any code. I think it's reasonable to expect a "language" to at least support all it's built-in primitives.
