@bx Ah for my hands I actually ditched keyboard and mouse altogether. I use either my steam deck's controlls or a ps4 controller combined with a mini keyboard that I can operate with just my thumbs. 😁 My previous mouse was an apple magic trackpad and it really sucked for finger pain.

Adding tech to household appliances makes them less reliable and more expensive.
[Refrigerators with net-connected computers and screens. Wifi-connected dishwashers, clothes washers, etc.]
Improving the technology of a household appliance usually makes it more efficient or cheaper.
[Heat pumps are more efficient air conditioners. High-capacity inverters make refrigerators, air conditioners, microwaves and induction cookers more efficient... to the point where induction cookers wouldn't be residential devices without them.]
bluh gotta figure out how to do swagger in golang as well as use some new router I haven't before.
@bx Great to hear, ty! I've been mostly focused on fingers so far but I'm also trying out stuff like bag holding and door opening. Also writing is on the todo list but honestly I barely use my arms outside of finger work. >:P
Eating is a cool idea. Been meaning to train lefty too use chopsticks. (it has a hard time atm sadly)

Over the weekend, I learned that in modern JS, you can just make up your own events and create listeners to respond to them, and *nobody can stop you*. Like, you can add a listener for an event you call `control-reset` or `text-edit` or `steve` or *whatever*, and then when something on the page dispatches that event at the listener, the listener will act! It’s event anarchy!
Woof. Seem to be recovering from my cold finally. Been mostly composting in bed staring at videos past few days.
Still a bit out of it but pulling myself together.
Carpal tunnel has been coming back to my right thumb so I gotta start training lefty to take on more loads to account for that.
Pet snake
One of my new kittens has decided it's a good idea to start climbing on top of my corn snake's terrarium and just staring at her as she tries to inch in closer. Gotta relocate the snake now cause she tried to strike at the cat (stopped bybthe terrarium cover) which didn't dissuade it from sitting longer

@jonny "if our wildest dreams for "open science" are to pay amazon to rent our own data... we need better dreams" 💯 there is this weird push for expensive (and carbon-unfriendly) cloud hosting of raw data in neuroscience. everything else on the poster is also awesome.

Open source maintainers are often good at writing code but not good at asking for money
Companies aren't very good at giving money away, but they absolutely know how to hire consultants - and they often have a training budget set aside already
Spend that money on maintainers!
@fleeky Just imagine the spice levels of the takes I don't shout on a public forum. :P
Mastodon not trying to load an account's outbox when following is one of the most frustrating "features" of the platform. In what world is "user has 24 posts, but I won't show them to you" good UX, At least fetch it client side without indexing into the db or something. 🙃

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

Great and it doesn't want to recover encryption keys for my chats. Wonderful software! Military grade.

Fucking element froze up and corrupted its data again. Getting real tired of this shit
@rra @cblgh K! We had a bug in how we authenticated methods which I just fixed today. I also added an account creation script to my staticpub example: https://github.com/RangerMauve/staticpub.mauve.moe/blob/default/create_account.js
Should all be working now!
@em I'd like to but it's been hard because electron-builder doesn't play nice with it out of the box.
Tracking issue here: https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-browser/issues/217 and docs here if you'd like to send a PR https://www.electron.build/configuration/flatpak
ATM the most portable option is appimage.
This also handles generating digests for your request body and adding in expected headers like Host and Date.
Also has a useful function for generating new keypairs and an example structure for your Actor object.
Just published a new module for doing signed HTTP requests for #ActivityPub in #JavaScript for #NodeJS
This wraps over the `fetch` API that's typically used in browsers but is now available in node.
