Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Just found out which family member I'm around is openly transphobic/homophobic. Very upsetting that this is top of their priority list vs all the stuff they can be happy about instead.

@makeworld I'm working towards getting more stuff on gemini (like bridges) and publishing gemtext to p2p protocols.

I don't consume much content though. :x

Power outage around my city from freezing rain. Luckily my cell connection still works. We couldn't cook anything so we ordered some take out. 5 of us sitting at the table chatting with the candle light.

@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah! And even if you run the pod, you need to be always connected to it to use it.

Also pods don't provide ways to query through data efficiently out of the box, so applications end up having to load everything and build indexes anyway. 🙃

It's at least a step in the right direction though.

Though TBH my initial approach would have been better for a purely streaming mode where we process and chunk the WARC file on the fly. Now I need to be able to do random access to a WARC either on the FS or via Range queries over the network.

@fabrice @capyloon Might also be good to think about how to expose structured data and queries in this space. 🤔 I'm thinking Prolly Trees + RDF would be a useful combo.

Due to my hubris I am in the process of rewriting my zip file parser from scratch. :P At least now I have experience using the particular APIs and the things I need to watch out for from using Blobs.

@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah! Solid is pretty cool, but right now it's all very tightly coupled with servers and central-ish ownership. I kinda want to take their data model but make all the data resolving local / p2p by default.

@lykso Yeah! I think one limitation though is that a lot of apps need a database that can potentially be accessed by multiple apps at once.

IMO it'd be nice if we could take the Semantic Web data model, combine it with SPARQL/Triple Pattern Fragment Queries, and make it available at the OS level.

You also get a sort of directory, but with structure data which can be explored.

@zkat Yeah that's a great one to catch with linter rules. Then for when you want to iterate over keys use Object.keys with for of.

Pre for-of js was so much more annoying IMO. V happy with how the language has evolved

Really wish there was an OS that forced apps to decouple their data layer from their UI layer so that users could bring different UIs to the same data or combine multiple data providers in one Ui.

Spent a few mins tonight messing with the Desktop Mode on my #SteamDeck

So far so good! Running Manjaro with KDE for a few months seems to have prepped me well. Hopefully this weekend I can set up my dev environment. I now have sudo so the sky is the limit 🥰

3. Probably instead of the Nreal Air I'll get the https://air.rokid.com/ since the app is installable in Canada and I like the look more. :P

Also seems about as compatible with my Steam Deck.

TIL that the speed at which I use my TTS app for reading books is borderline incomprehensible to folks.

When I'm listening to it it feels like "normal speed" speech. When I lose focus or pay attention to regular sounds I hear it for what it is which is funky to think about.
