@hugo I really liked the Alien utopia described in Octavia Butler's "Lilith's Brood".
@sofia I like to think that anarchist leftists have an explicit "the people must be aware of power and band together to keep concentrations of power from overwhelming the whole" goal which is different from authoritarianism or hoping the powerful will be nice. A lot of leftists don't seem to have that though.

It's a long shot, but it would be really funny if Microsoft and Google both capsize when the AI bubble pops, resulting in Valve taking over as the dominant home PC OS and buying the xbox brand for cheap, a sudden surge of corporate interest funding ReactOS, and a bewildered Viktor Lofgren waking up one morning to discover that Marginalia had become the world's dominant search engine over night. Chrome users however would still continue to refuse to switch to Firefox.
I think it's a missed opportunity that OS's don't provide a native way to group windows into tabs. I should be able to take any number of windows from any apps and group them together and resize them kinda like a workspace but resizable.
There was stuff in this direction in the past but it looks like it got abandoned and now every app needs to build tabs themselves using their own ui and shortcuts.
Absolutely amazing piece by Koka Nikoladze.
Sadly I haven't done anything with s expressions since I tried making a small language in it as a teen and playing with WebAssembly when WAT first came out.
i recently mentioned the Mg. honorific. yes, please call me Mage Lenn 💫
@Bit_form If it helps, blue decks are the bane of my existence. They do sneaky stuff with mechanics and either bleed my dry before I get big enough or break some core of my ramping strategy.
Also board wipes can be brutal
Uuuugh. Phi3 is so stupid it gets stuck in loops and fixates on calling random functions instead of just generating text.
@laxla Yeah I've been thinking about having a "universal client" which can enable users to hotswap UIs for object types.
We've got the raw foundations for this inside https://reader.distributed.press in that it's a fully client side indexer and doesn't need to care about implementations as much.
@vbatts Cool! Do you use it with wayland and SMB? I only found MPD because waybar had a default plugin for it. I've been trying to get an easy way to play music from my NAS but all the players I've tried seem to have trouble with SMB shares. 😅
@yhancik That's so clever!
@yhancik Snap! How does the alarm clock play into it? Do you have a script that plays a specific file? Does it resume playback of your previous tracks when it finishes?
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
