Loving this breakdown by @nasser on why we should look outside of profit motive and capitalism.

old Cree word for computer was "box of shadows where you write with no pen"

So the acronym #XR is just #VR, #AR, and other-R tech - the X has no meaning, it's just a placeholder. (In the OpenXR logo, the X is literally made up of an A and V shape). But, some folks call it "Extended Reality" which I have trouble aceepting: it feels like a backronym, really awkward. The beauty of XR was that it was an umbrella term over the other existing "reality" terms. But if I'm gonna lose the "X in XR has no specific meaning" debate... 😉

🔥 Hot take: XR stands for "trans reality" 🔥

@rolltime Regarding electron, I make sure to set the font everywhere to "system-ui" which uses the system preferences instead of random shit loaded from google. It works great cross-platform.

I wish we could say the same thing for font and background color instead of havinf devs decide what "light" and "dark" mode look like.

a friend is nearly in tears because changing their KDE font to opendyslexic also changed the font ePubs render in in okular, meaning they can actually read their assignments.

this is why apps respecting your preferences is important, and it's why libre software (and KDE in particular) is so awesome.

unrelatedly, fuck electron.

Having convos on what the story for / integration will look like for

Hoping to iron out a cool new social layer on top of your sites later this year!

If I were designing a fediverse-with-accounts-delinked-from-instances, and if you've been watching this account long enough then you know I have, I would have at least as a fallback supported addressing an account by a hash of its signing keys or something. Does Bluesky have such a fallback? Will it? Does it have a way of detecting that the https signing key for a domain has suddenly changed? Will it?

now Brooklyn Zelenka on the limitations of data centers and their global distribution

Watching @expede@octodon.social do her talk on distributed compute while I mess with keybord bindings at @causalislands 🤯

@cblgh Yeah absolutely. Feels especially nice to not have to deal with jetlag for once. 🤣

@thisismissem @compost Maybe! Our initial goal was to asd webmentions as part of our next milestone. However we're in the process of reviewing that and figuring out the details.

My polarised sunglasses have the magical added feature of adblocking.

This is the #AugmentedReality future I need. #AR
