App developers, I am BEGGING you to provide web versions and not force us to do our work on tiny screens and thumb-type everything. This goes triple for apps that are restricted to just one of the two major corporate mobile platforms.

For many if not most, this should be readily possible, given how many apps are websites with app wrappers.

I gladly pay for or donate to software that helps me...

@yosh I wonder if it'll be useful for reducing how much lithium will need to be extracted from mines on indigenous land at least.

EE I love open source software! It's so nice to make stuff for people to use for free and get to use free stuff. It'd be nice if we didn't still need to work to live, but at least it's possible to do smaller scale stuff in spare time.

a lot of bosses like to cultivate this "I'm doing you a favor" atmosphere, and it works extra well on people who feel like they have a barrier to employment like a criminal record, a drug problem, being fired, etc.

And it's bullshit. You're doing *them* a favor, always.

4. Since I'm really liking my Rokid Max, I might get their Rokid Station device which they're marketing as an Android TV for AR headsets. I could probably get termux on this thing at least. forbes.com/sites/bensin/2023/0

teeth, cavities 

@nonlinear Yeah, I've failed to quit pop a couple of times now so I might as well try again. :P

I'm thankfully already a major water drinker. Got a 3 liter water bottle that I'm chugging from all day.

@codinghorror I think producs like the XReal Beam which let you hook up existing devices that output to 2D screens but have them displayed in 3DoF around you with resizing are going to be a better path than these "lets reinvent operating systems from scratch" approaches. At least in the near term.

Having something that gets all your existing data on your face and adding spatial after the fact seems like a smoother path.

re: teeth, cavities 

@nilix @cblgh tbh I think the sugar was the most appealing part and less so the caffeine.

I think I'll try weaning myself off both and see if my adhd meds can just do what they're supposed to instead 😅

teeth, cavities 

Day one of not starting my day with cola pop or energy drinks since a big hunk of my tooth fell off and I don't want to make it worse.

I am absolutely dependent on the caffeine and sugar in these things. 😭

Writing up database wrappers for storing ActivityPub data.

Been really into this artist lately:

No sure what to call this genre but it's pretty funky and makes me want to play Broken Reality.

@anna_r_chy That's pretty good one. Seems to be taken already though. Generally the fewer characters the harder it is to get. :o

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect *them*.

It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.

Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.

And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.

@zkat Yeah it'd be cool if community blocklists had more nuance like "incidental transphobia by organization" vs "enabling individuals to do targeted transphobia" vs "federates with instance that has known transphobes on it" since this is nuance which might mean different things to different groups which I see tagged as just "transphobia" without elaboration in most cases.
