Listening to Bill Jobs, fixin bugs and adding network outage recovery.
@hrefna One thing I wish protocols did was have a standard for doing even basi8c filters over collections of data. E.g. I think AP pull-based sync could be made much faster if we had a standard for filtering by time from the client-side. In general I feel a lot of protocols that have append only logs in them are sorely lacking indexing at the sync layer.
@mcc Minecraft but tbh both. The sequel to the parkour civilization movie holds up too IMO.

Minecraft but i survive in PARKOUR CIVILIZATION
Thinking about, if someone were to try to teach "Minecraft but i survive in PARKOUR CIVILIZATION" , the basically thirty pages of explanation that would be needed to make it make sense. It's so rooted in a cultural context… all the Minecraft mechanics you need to understand. Familiarity with the "Prison Server" concept. Enough knowledge of present day serialized media to recognize the video you're watching is stitched together out of shorter videos…
@mcc That series is goated NGL

There is just something about the way Gemini capsules all have similar visual language by design and that I, the user, am in control of things like which font family is used, pleases my neuroatypical brain.
The page author decides the content and its structure. I decide the details of rendering, for the most part -- though Lagrange supports ANSI escapes[1] for foreground and background colour and font variant -- bold, italic, underline, etc.
I consider that a fair compromise between user and author.
[1] Hot take: If you write a Gemini client, you have two options for ANSI escape sequences: You can either implement them, or filter them out. Showing visual garbage that's never meant for human eyes is just lazy.
Recipe websites are examples of how the internet keeps getting less and less useful.

GOOGLE: Hey! Would you like to sign in with Google???
ME: No.
GOOGLE: No problem! Just in case you change your mind, we’ll ask you again on every single web page you visit for the rest of your natural life
The project itself has been a team effort and I'm thankful for help from my teammates at Hypha + various folks on the interwebs. Hopefully we can stabilize and document this stuff this month so we can show a full demo.
It's been a bit of a journey learning #rust and #veilid and #iroh but these last few functions were very satisfying to write. This code triggers a download of an Iroh-blobs based file from it's hash by establishing tunnels to peers in a group using a multiplexer I built using Veilid AppMessages over private routes. The code to get here was hella messy but these functions felt pretty elegant.
@light not with this cost of living 💀💀
@jwz Ah! I meant users of firefox. Like, I have a hard time imagining a single user that wouldn't feel negatively about this.
@jwz I'd love to hear the perspective of someone that actually has positive feelings about this.

tired: it's your own fault if the TLD your organization depends on evaporates for unrelated political reasons entirely out of your control

@lvk Ty! I was thinking cartoons since I like making really exagerated voices. My partner is an animator so hopefully they can get me a small role some day.
@lvk I looove AppImages. They just work and packaging them is so easy 😭 That's the main way I use Agregore actually.
@brandon Yeah I think it's too late for me to get famous and the road there isn't lucrative enough to take care of my family 😅
If there was a butlerian jihad we'd get so many more cool jobs.
Being a voice actor sounda cool but I don't think it pays anywhere near as much as computers.
