@yasser No, I'm using Chimera OS :P

@fleeky I don't like tiling window managers. I like having a way to spatially organize stuff and they get in the way of that.

Eep. The default console in GNOME is taking up like 200 MB of ram for a single tab. The bloat Linux distros are okay with having in their core runtime is unfortunate. Might need to redo my OS yet again after spending all this time tinkering with it. 🤷

@evnnbd TBH I don't think I'd want to do any applications in CL still. I'm actually using JS for my transformer/tracing tool since it's fast and flexible and has a lot of libraries. I think the only thing I like about CL is how simple syntax is. 😅 If I was an emacs user I'd likely want to use lisp more. Likely in the future I'll be messing with Guile via spritely goblins though.

Strongly considering getting some pamphlets printed about the fediverse to hand out to folks since literally nobody (figuratively speaking) seems to know about it.

@BrodieOnLinux Honestly I love being a raccoon digging through dumpsters. I have years of experience lf finding all the good pizza and sometimes I find beans that are still unopened in a can. Usually I need to smash it with a rock (read through source code) to get at them though. 🦝

See if I transpile everything to common lisp it'll be easier to do code analysis for tracibility accross data pipelines and programming langiages.

@olm_e @tezoatlipoca @SyndicWill Yeah federation is a great step and pretty pragmatic. Personally I think it is still not enough because it requires somelne to foot the bill for servers and places control/responsibility over communities into the hands of a few sysadmin nerds. I am a sysadmin nerd but I don't like that my existence could make or break an instance.

My hot take is I kinda like the marketing stuff corpos do for april fools. The razor gaming chair tentacles were fun.

@fleeky Sadly no. It was announced back in Feb. https://hubs.mozilla.com/labs/sunset/

@tezoatlipoca It just happens that tech as a whole is very cloud-brained right now. 😅

@tezoatlipoca I mean to be fair the Hubs team has done so much better a job at this than any proprietary platform. I think what they did makes sense in their context. For one they've been making it easy to self host a hubs instance and are working on tools and docs for folks to pull their data down and onto their self hosted instances.

The #Mozilla #Hubs shutdown is also exactly why communities should be investing in #p2p tooling. Had they gone with a fully distributed model there would be no central service to close and the communities using it could have kept doing so regardless of Mozillas involvement. Instead they went "cloud native" and initially relied on a specific cloud platform which basically locks everyone into a final shutdown regardless of who "owns" the cloud.
