2 days till Open Brush 2.0! Next up is another hugely requested feature... 🥁
Layers support!
You can now organise your sketches with up to eight layers. ✨
Easily show/hide your references or drafting lines, merge and delete, it even works with exports! #vr #ar #opensource
@cuaxolotl @garbados I think a pivotal point in me understanding systemic injustice and how tech+science can be blind to it was reading Seeing Like A State. It's a really good read IMO. #books #theory

@garbados We finally made it. 🥹
We'll know the #fediverse has finally made it to the mainstream when we start seeing screenshots of posts on people's Instagram reels.
i think in general i feel that software developers are not meaningful innovators, or rather, i do not trust them to come up with a reliable encoding for a system (reputation) that whole disciplines have studiously avoided encoding because of its fluidity and relativity. so when a dev says to me, "we don't need more mods, we just need TrustPoints (TM)" i get very skeptical
@ninabreznik @heapwolf @lutindiscret The main difference is that you'd need to run the js versions of most modules and replace hyperswarm with something socket-specific
It's amazing that database queries work at all given how groady some of the join pyramids people use are.
#SQL is powerful as hell but the evil magic that goes into making it possible is pretty intense.
excellent new post by @cblgh reflecting on the rise of commercial #p2p: https://cblgh.org/p2p-commercialization/
Does #ActivityPub have a spec for communities to expose their combined timeline?
I think that would be super cool to combine with #p2p indexing where you could follow entire instances by lazily querying data from their timline index on the fly instead of needing to load everything on your server first.
Playing #HypnospaceOutlaw really helped put the fedi into context for me.
They did a good job of giving the aesthetic of random trolls and blogs on the internet just kinda existing in their tiny communities.
It helps that they have a 90's/00's retro aesthetic, but it's pretty much just a more exaggerated version of what we have now.
@lutindiscret I think @heapwolf had the right take. GunDB has a data model and a replication protocol that's pretty useful for graphs and "subscribing to data", but it's networking layer could use some more love since it's mostly servers and WebRTC at the moment. Socket would be a good way to make it work over local networks and have a nice path for deploying the app to mobile/desktop.
Main thing I learned from shopping around for instances is that there's a lot of cool color schemes and themes on the fediverse and that isn't reflected in the feeling of browsing fedi from a client.
it'd be cool if we had a spec to add a background/font style to let people express themselves more openly.
did you know you can infer what version of Windows an executable was built on (or at least what version of the Windows SDK was targeted) by how many fields its load configuration directory has?
the structure remained unchanged from WinXP, until Win8.1 Update 3 when they added new fields for Control Flow Guard support. the same fields were used in the initial Win10 release (version 1507)
the structure was iteratively expanded in versions 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, 21H1, 21H2, and 22H2.
@cuaxolotl Wow, are you running your own server software? Jeeze I really want to make my own now too
@cuaxolotl Omg your instances style is amazing. I wish that was shown by mastodon clients!
Honestly spinning off another individual instance feels like less cognitive overhead for me 😨 So many choices
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
