there's too little slime mould content on fedi
@Miaourt Sadly it was three hours of them saying it'd be 30 mins :P It's okay though, more testament to my resilience ✊
@Miaourt Mostly okay. Zero sleep and three hour delay to my flight. I will survive 🫠
Vending machines should not require an app to use.

New tutorial is out! Learn how you can scrape web pages and save them to a local p2p archive. Includes some code but also a guide on how to prompt the local LLM to generate code snippets to save time or if you're unsure how to do something.

Ever since the Matrix was released in 1999, cell phones have been steadily replacing landlines - which were shown to be the only way to escape.
Got that jetlag insomnia and I'm using it to make a tutorial for how to scrape web pages with @agregore for offline use. One neat thing I'm trying out is to show folks how to prompt the local AI to generate code snippets for you as you build the app. The goal is to help folks new to coding get started while still getting them to write and understand the code and the approach to making an app from scratch.

beyond just the education context… there really is a kind of abuser logic to these products. the goal is to isolate you from social support. I think this is probably a really important thing to worry about; I feel like i have not seen enough worrying about it by comparison with other issues (like not working/being wrong)
@fleeky Yeah I gotta figure out how to socialize here. The area I'm in seems mostly shopping related
Time to sieze the next 14 hours or soon 4 hours of sleep. Travel is a resource management sim where you juggle sleep deprivation and caffeine. 🤪 Glad I get my weekend to recoup
@makeworld LMK if you get some utility out of your muse. I got stuck learning python EEG signal processing using neural nets and pytorch and got distracted

A situation that appears more and more, though, is that "with great power comes great responsibility." When using Free Software, you might only have yourself to rely on to maintain the software you use.
Don't get me wrong, most maintainers will go through great lengths to help their users, but that's from being kind and decent human beings, not from being contractually required to.
When using Free Software, it's also "free as in puppy": no upfront cost, but maintainance is on you.

How much more of this sort of thing could a cooperative of buyers help bootstrap, even simply by having the first thousand customers pre-signed up?
But a radical consumer co-op could foster the new business as a worker cooperative.
