Finally had the energy/time to adjust my monitor to a more ergonomic position. Future me is gonna love how clear its desk is now 🥰

I feel like most in-house software is tacitly released under the Hot Potato Licence.
I think I'm slowly learning how to think in Rust. Glad I get to learn it by doing cool shit with Veilid.

DWeb Camp begins TODAY and the schedule is up!
There are almost 400 sessions, including workshops, talks, panels, performances and classes.
Campers — make sure to download the Sched app and build your schedule for the week.
See ya in the redwoods! 🌲✨
@coy This was exactly what I needed! thank you so much
@neauoire OMG! This is so good to know. I was looking at TUI music players and hadn't seen this as an option.
Systems which use neural nets to learn from user actions should expose physical buttons for reinforcement. Like if I'm teaching my machine a new gesture I'd want to tell it when it's doing a good job or messing up according to my personal criteria.

@futurebird The really stupid thing is the Fediverse handily solves the problem in a universal way. It isn't 100% perfect in some ways, but for things like news/etc it pretty much solves their fundamental problems. All they have to do is host their own instances and presto, they can work across anything that can access those instances. It's not so different from hosting websites (which they already do.)
There is literally no excuse that government services don't do this too.

While liberating a Pixel phone I came across this poetry, and on the day Google is convicted of illegal market monopoly in the US: the power button itself, the interface to switching off a device one supposedly owns, is intercepted by a Google 'AI' product. The device can not be powered off, even using buttons as described, without first downloading software from the company.
This domineering and invasive interface culture has to be stopped.
Finally purging some social connections now that they're inexcusably unsafe. This year has been an exercise in restructuring my connectome and I'm excited to see what new shapes it will bring.
@coy I haven't come across this before, ty. I'll try it out in the morning. 🙇
@fabrice Yeah I tried to clone it and shove it into Box/Arc.
😭 The #rust borrow checker is no pushover. Brain turning to goo trying to figure out how to tie the lifetime of this channel sender to an Arc of a callback closure.
Neat, rediscovered this talk I did on "Holistic Local-First Software" last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqUzhnDd1-E

you want to start the thing, a studio a label a lab? that's great! everyone in your life is going to tell you to establish hierarchies and engage with capital, let's talk about why you might not want to do that, why you might want to start a cooperative instead, the trade-offs there. because that's not a conversation you're going to have anywhere else unfortunately

take that techbros would hate
accessibility includes supporting old hardware, nobody has the same economical status as you to afford a new machine

At the rate I'm going by 2030 I'm going to be using lynx as my main browser just so I don't have to see AI imagery
@nasser Yeah tbh the main thing I find hard is doing nice curves. I end up doing so much trig math to get minimal results 😭
@terrantechpriest The way the renderer works in Agregore is it detects the mime type of a page in a web extension and then injects js+html to render the page. Sadly this means the webserver with the data needs to serve the correct mime type else it triggers a download. I've been considering doing some hacks on the http headers to work around it tho.
@nasser i think it's easier to write svg from scratch or codegen it :P
