At CES I stumbled on this Linux ARM handheld from @mecha Systems You can switch out the IO with a keyboard and gamepad in the works. What do you all think? VIDEO: https://zurl.co/2ebET
Job opportunities
My organisation is looking for a Campaign and Membership Digital Infrastructure Specialist - someone who knows Action Network, and integrations like Airtable, on a contract. Figure there might be some of you around here!
Also, we are recruiting a Head of Operations, part-time, remote. It is mostly helping us work effectively online, tending to people, culture and governance.
Happy to answer any questions!
@technobaboo @atomicpoet You need new accounts but you can follow / talk to pixrlfed users like any other AP impl. I have an instance on cybergram.art if you're curious to try it
@neauoire oh cool, this comic series? https://libgen.li/series.php?id=143792
Looks interesting, ty for the info.
a git forge idea
@nasser I think Mastodon would just ignore vocab it doesn't understand. But you could probs post stuff as both. Main reason to reuse forgefed is compat with other impls that are working on it.
social inbox is in typescript, we have some docs here as well as links to source: https://docs.distributed.press/social-inbox/

@nasser I think it's a mastodon thing. There's "replies" collections in the spec but they aren't being fully utilized IMO

@nasser Also HMU if you end up doing this! I've been doing a bunch of static AP stuff with https://distributed.press and have a minimal inbox impl that could be adjusted to support such a thing easily enough

@nasser Might be good to reuse the #ForgeFed spec https://forgefed.org/spec/
@neauoire Which book?
Gonna be presenting my Tonal Lenses talk at tonights #AITinkerers meetup in #Ottawa
Hopefully it'll be recorded so I can share it here after
I want to publicly announce a change in my thinking. For many years I have promoted non-profits, especially foundations as a good way to keep FOSS (Free and Open Source) projects protected and effective.
Not any more.
I am now leaning towards coops as the better vehicle. The cooperative approach allows for better distribution of power to those that do the work where foundations typically concentrate power on those with the money. This might become a long thread that'll take some time.
@kris I'm excited to pair it with my Viture Neckband for portable computing. https://neckband.viture.com/
@kris I found this video on youtube which is what got me into this again. Also saw some vids of them doing programming which is my main use case for keyboards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVzi4fDzxq0
@j3rn Pirate some games/demoware and share then around. I got a lot of mileage out of an Unreal Tournament CD I used to share around.
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.
