The question is: what do governments and law enforcements do when they realize every single person has a little agent on their phone that can answer literally *any* question about their activities, in simple human language? The “crypto wars” are going to look quaint.
The temptation to legislate government access to this agent will be enormous. It’ll start with heinous crimes like child sexual abuse or terrorism, and it will appear tightly targeted. But it will be applied at massive scale, to millions of people.
I miss when browsers would cache pages for offline use by default. It's so annoying that I need to wait for site devs to do a bunch of custom behavior with service workers instead of having control of it at the user agent. Sadly Electron doesn't make the caching super easy so it'd be a lot of time investment to add to Aggregore

@harce Do you have a particular server you've got your eye on like Mastodon? It shouldn't be too much work to fork and add an "invite links" feature if there isn't one already. I'd advocate for using the web app instead of dealing with native too.
@harce that's something we could potentially reconfigure reader.distributed.press for if y'all have a budget for building stuff.

also, libraries aren't a charity, they're a public service
the anti-IA people say the IA allows anybody to borrow while "real" libraries exist for the poor but that's not the purpose of a library & RL libraries don't just exist as charity for the poor
we as a society have lost the concept of what a public service is, we only see things in terms of profit and charity
public libraries exist b/c our societies decided that access to culture, to information, to knowledge, and to a public space that preserves those things is a public good, it's something everybody should have
public libraries are not and should not be a charity that we only minimally fund b/c some people are too poor to partake in capitalism and therefore need a little handout so they can get smarter to partake in capitalism
Thankful for the cool bsky folks that have enabled bridgy federation so I can see their stuff from this side of the fediverse 🥳
Screech 😵

@arichtman I usually supplement it with frozen or freshly cut veg 😎👉👉
re-upped my fancy instant noodle supply 😈 The one I had today had like 6 mysterious packets of goop in it.
I think social media platforms should have a block button that's like "fuck you, and fuck all your friends". Less so on the fedi but I think a lot of other platforms for "creators" could stand to benefit it as a more efficient way to cull trolls
@kravemir @lutindiscret @thibaultamartin Your best bet for "out of the box" stuff would be to use the Tor Borwser and set uo your NAS with some hidden services. It's a bit slow but it's the most mature option and gets the job done. I've been looking at options to add to @agregore for this use case too. https://ipnslink.com/ looked appealing but it got abandoned. Also gonna be experimenting with #veilid once I get the hang of it
@lutindiscret @kravemir @thibaultamartin the requirement of not wanting clients that support custom protocols makes it way harder. You are basically stuck with HTTPS then since there's no other protocols you can use in a browser. The best you can do then is something like ngrok which can be a proxy to your local service but then you're stuck paying for a service again. You need to use new clients if you want to break free of https.

Just remember, kids: It's perfectly legal for people to take your writing, code, videos, music and other works into a 'dataset' that can be used to train an LLM model to forge your art or writing style -- for money.
But if a nonprofit decides to purchase hardcopy books, scan them in, and create a digital lending program providing works to anyone who asks -- for free, that's checks notes illegal. :D
@skryking different folders on one computer. It randomly started working again so I have a horrible suspicion it has to do with a peer on the network acting up.
Riddle me this Batman: WHen I run some code in one project it seems to work fine, but pretty much the exact same code in another project causes unexplainable stack overflows. How is that possible when the dependencies are the same version?
I love wasting hours and hours on build issues and random failures on startup instead of actual code.

It just occurred to me that the phases in waterfall software development could just as well have been named after the stages of grief:
1. denial (requirements and design)
2. anger (implementation)
3. bargaining (functional testing)
4. depression (alpha & beta testing) and
5. acceptance (release)
