@makeworld I've seen the movie! Watch out for the mermaids and octopuses and stuff. :P

Hey folks! We've published our announcement blog post for the devgrant we've started to work on to add some tutorials and example apps to the Agregore website. You can read more about it here: https://agregore.mauve.moe/blog/2023/01/demos-and-tutorials-announcement
@flowless@nitecrew.rip I wish to create a homo phone some day. 🥰
You could bump them together to exchange data or something. And heavy theme customization built in.

Just lost my job. Good thing I have like four others. :P

If people miss wizarding schools, may I offer some suggestions?
Here are ones I've read...
- Terry Pratchett's Unseen University books, especially _Sourcery_, are both funnier and deeper than Hogwarts.
- Ursula LeGuin wrote the _Earthsea_ series about magical training... and, again, examines the sexism behind so much fantasy.
- M. A. Larson wrote the _Pennyroyal Academy_, if you're looking for a fairly straight interpretation of the wizarding school trope.
None of those authors are transphobes.
@anjune@linuxrocks.online It's a portmanteau of Aggregate and Egragore. :) The browser is like a egragore that can bring data from disparate sources under the user's control.

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself rewritten in Rust for performance reasons.
@cblgh @adz That sounds lovely! I've also been wanting to do a more active push on making local-first tech usable for folks this year via folks at Hypha and Wakoma.
I'd love to join in on chats if there's space. 💜
Especially since there's so many folks getting better at grant writing and getting connections for work. Lots of opportunity to pool resources and skills.

…And on that last note, I’ve been trying to find alternatives to Raspberry Pi – would be very interested if folks have any leads… especially to boards that can be used for education.

The nature of my work is that I won't know what my work situation will be like from month to month. New projects start and end about ever 6 months and it's a constant flow of chaos.
I really like it for the flexibility and novel stimulus, but the lack of long term stability has been a bit stressful sometimes.

There's some embedded cultural commentary on the fact news stories are asking if ChatGPT will replace your job instead of your boss's job.
It'd be cool if there was a standard for encrypted chat that was as easy to use as RSS feeds were for blog data.
I basically use my Matrix server with its bridges for that purpose, but it's with a lot of difficulty.
Also, feels like I should get back into RSS. :P

"Thanks for coming in for an interview. I see now you're an 'AI Researcher.' Unfortunately we don't allow stuff like ChatGPT work products, no matter how good the prompt."
"No, you don't understand, I specialize in researching AI."
"Like an AI artist? Again, we are not interested in machine-generated work. I don't think you're a match for this job I'm sorry."
@garbados Become an anarcho-authoritarian. 🤪

In my opinion, ChatGPT really exposes the edifice of centering college around tests instead of instruction. This ignores what they should be measuring and how the world actually works, which is vibes.

The worst thing about having your password stolen is having to rename the dog.
@makeworld Ascended. She reached the final form in those "Galaxy brain" meme macros.
@am@decept.org Yeah thank you for the grounding. I think this year there will be more opportunities to work with folks now that we're getting some docs and example apps for Agregore.
