Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Also, here's a recording of the talk I did at their last conference (used to be called Bloom) on #p2p and #decentralized web apps.

I get into the weeds on #IPFS and #BitTorrent and how this technology works under the hood.

Looks like https://www.futureproof.so/ is doing another round of talks!

It's a conference made by and for #women, #NonBinary, #trans, and #genderqueer technologists focusing on decentralized technology.

I'm going to be doing a talk on Holistic #LocalFirst Software and how it relates to my work and being #queer.

Do sign up for their newsletter to get more info once the conference is announced!

@yosh Fuck I deleted the wrong post to redraft. :P

@kawaiipunk I think they're still in the planning phase and haven't published anything publicly yet. I can ping you when I have concrete details I can link to if you'd like. :)

@nutsling Ghoulish and *proud*! 🥰💜💀

My pal BeanBoy put together a theme builder for @agregore and I tried cranking out a groady theme using it.

What's cool is that once you save the `.agregorerc` file to your home folder and restart, it'll get applied to all websites that import agregore://theme/style.css` for their default styling. For example: The https://agregore.mauve.moe website!

@tnypxl Yeah! I'm excited for the EU to bust Apple's browswr engine monopoly too so we can have projects like this existing in that space too :)

Honestly the only reason I care about #p2p and #localfirst #web stuff is because it gives us practical tools to have nothing but what we have in our pocket and still be able to work with information technology and collaborate with others.

Everything else is just fun extras. :P

It pains me that communities need to either pay a corpo to own all of their shit or deal with complex nerd shit like the cloud to host their own (which is still paying some corpo eventually)

@tnypxl One thing too with the dev tools approach is I could get folks with shitty Android tablets to be able to install https://kiwibrowser.com/ and use their devtools if they don't have access to a "real" computer. :o

I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

@tnypxl Yeah I was actually considering doing a workshop using my own browser, @agregore, which would also bring a way to create and share content offline and on local networks.

I decided to go with standard browsers because I wanted to support people without access to fancy computers like kids that only have the chromebooks their schools provide them.

Apple-only projects in particular are kinda uninteresting to me since it excludes a lot of people.

Arc is defs cool though!

K, fuck it, gonna update my mastodon instance so I can get the fancy "follow tags" features on this thing. If you never hear from me again it's cause I messed something up. 🤪

Oh yeah! Any folks in #Ottawa / #Nepean interested in this stuff hit me up! I'm hoping to run it at the Centrepointe branch.

Also thinking of including signup links for some local #Fediverse instances to build up community.

Sent an email to the library coordinator about running a workshop.

Gonna focus on teaching folks how to use Devtools to mess with websites and create bookmarklets to persist changes.

I wish web browsers had kept built in user scripts as a feature so that everyone could edit their experiences more easily.

> I claim that many of these jailbreaks are best described as purposefully inducing the collapse of the superpositon into a waluigi simulacrum.

What times we live in, eh?
