@heapwolf Ha ha, are we going to get another wave of rxjs type hype? Personally I loved that era.

@heapwolf Like the AbortSignal class in JavaScript?

@fabrice Wow! That's cool as hell! I really love how I can just use the deck and gpt like a game controller and just sit down and type with the joysticks. Like there's so many more comfy positions to sit in compared to a keyboard on your lap or desk.

Don't get me wrong, that's my favorite option for most things, but I think I could even replace my phone with this for household based routines (my most common ones these days).

I think I miss early facebook since it was a space I only cohabited with friends I see every day (I was a teen to early 20s at this point). Now everyone is all spread out and we can't just see what we're up to.

Been trying to make more group chats to bridge more gaps.

Still having trouble deciding between getting a #steamdeck, the more powerful and featured but more risky #linux wise GPD MAX 4, or sticking to my current approach of a NUC with a battery pack and usb monitor when I'm on the go.

I'm docked like 95% of the time either way, but I want something easier to use on the go.

Any thoughts to sway my opinion?

No I absolutely do not want a laptop because they don't fit my form factor needs.

@natknight Ty! To be hobest my main goal was to try to reduce the cats anxiety about where to get food since my household has like four humans that feed her according to schedules she couldn't even comprehend.

I'm hoping the machine will at least give her some consistency in source.

@natknight But to be fair to the cays, we're prpbably as incomprehensible as any sort lf alien being could be so they're probably trying literally any random thing that worked in the past to solve their problem (wanting food or treats).

My previous pair lf cats had a gravity feeder and generally only complained a little bit when they got wet food.

This one needs food portioning sadly due to trauma leading to drastically overeating. 🥲

@natknight Oh jeeze. 😂 That does not bode well.

Mine's on day three still and it seems at least her early morning feeding has resulted in less complaints.

In the evening she gets up in everyone's face after her afternoon nap (usually 30m to 1h to feeding)

Abled people love to complain about disabled people getting "special treatment" like "Wow it's not fair that you get accomodations and I don't" instead of thinking "Wow I'm glad you get accomodations and even more people loke myself tol should be getting some". Like you know that wanting to improve peoples lives could ve universal right?

Hating marginalized people hurts not just them but the perpetuator of the hate in missed opportunities.

My cat is growing accustomed to it's new Machine God (the automated feeder).

I think she's figuring out the rituals for getting it to dispence food (there are none).

She happened to be rubbing up against a cabinet around when the timer went off and I could see her think "Whoa, did I do that?".

Hopefully she will soon learn the humies are no longer in control of her feeding times.

I think she doesn't understand that we know it already fed her in the morning even if we didn't witness it.

Deep levels of ignorance kinda scare me, but callousness and forcibly ignoring information to support hateful biases scares me even more.

@causalislands Oh hey. It me!

Honestly, I think I would hate banking less if I could use an API to interact with them instead of apps and humans.

@hank me: *uses either Arial, Comic Sans, or system-ui for absolutely everything* 😎 Absolute picasso.

I would love to pick your brain kn the tradeoffs between typefaces and what this glyph thing even is some time. 🤯 I feel like there's a whole world of fonts I am unable to perceive

Cooking up some grant applications to do some #meshnetwork stuff along with #dweb and #p2p publishing onto local networks.

Longer term planning to deploy education materials as part of the setup so that communities can create #localfirst software without needing to rely on the cloud or even local servers so much.

One thing that's a TODO is figuring out how the economics of maintaining things work for places where that's a concern.

Excited for spring to come so I can start practicing with my little RC quadcopter again.

It's just a cheap toy one at the moment but eventually I wanna get into #fpv racing with one once I can justify the cost.
