Found it from this blog post on using orca headless on a raspberry pi. I want to get rid of screens eventually so it's quite relevant for me.

Stumbled across this neat tool for #blind folks to use webcams as a sort of sonar using stereo audio. (warning can be loud)

@Liquidator Big mood. Getting other servers to see the notes migration is hard but at least we have *some* facilities for account migration in Mastodon. It'd be nice if they pulled all your data with you. Defs technically possible

@Liquidator Glad it made sense! TBH in terms of user autonomy nostr is the best option but in terms of reaching communities I'm interested in the ActivityPub network has more of what I like.

Strange attractors (of pain)

@dain oh? Has wayland been giving you trouble? I found it to be pretty stable these days.

@rosano The main thing I hear over and over again js yhat they want to be where all the other people are. You can't talk features or dynamics when that's all that matters in the end. 🤷

If the thing you depend on costs a lot of money to operate, and got a lot of "investment" (loans) to get it in everyone's face, it will inevitably screw you over once the true owners want to bleed it dry for cash. The alternatives might not be as "popular", but they're the only option to escape the cycle.

It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.
