@loke @lunch @alcinnz @Azure Themeing is one of the biggest things I feel is missing from the web. I love being able to customize my desktop experience.

In @agregore I've been encouraging apps to import a CSS file that can be customized by users in order to apply some default styling to an app. I still need to make it easier to make new themes, but at least it gives web users a bit more power than they have now.

@queenslight Snap, good to know!I don't have an iPhone and haven't tried it's accessibility features. The ones on my samsung android were okay but I feel like it still left a lot to be desired with navigating scrollable content. I tried to read some articles with it but it required way too much manual intervention.

What's the most accessible chat platform in your experience? Is RocketChat any good?

Wild how programmers can throw more system resources at a problem instead of making the underlying components faster. I guess it's easier to grow than optimize?

@queenslight Interesting. I haven't messed with kbin yet but I was able to view posts and comment on lemmy content from programming.dev/c/godot

I know that ActivityPub has this "group" concept, and the github.com/mastodon/mastodon software seems to have some tentative support for it (type @news into the Search Or Paste URL box. There's a little "Group" tag there?). Maybe it would make UX sense if every*
single Fediverse instance published a virtual "group" of itself that just encapsulated whatever its equivalent of following the local firehose feed is.

* Assuming this is compatible with the privacy/user safety norms of that instance.

@Ategon Hello from the fediverse! It's cool that I can see posts from your instance within mine!

I find it cool that I can view lemmy posts from the comfort of my Mastodon instance. Unsure how interacting with groups would work in general, but I guess I can at least comment on stuff?

If anyone is interested I've started up a Godot community on lemmy for those who are migrating from reddit!

Feel free to join and show off your stuff as people start moving over to it :), weve got a showoff thread where you can showcase your current work or you can make a separate post for it

programming.dev/c/godot

(You can see the posts from right here on mastodon as well, just search for the url above in the search bar (with https:// in front of it))

@masukomi @webrecorder

yep, we can save all kinds of peripheral stuff like "threads i participated in" or whatever, but can't predict the things we want to look up next week. impossible problem.

one of the reasons i've been interested in IPFS is that content addressing as a primitive allows *loose* coordination down the road, for those kinds of content systems.

there's no universe where anything HTTP+DNS gets us future-protective publishing, let alone coordination+linking.

@roadrunner Oh! One last thing about the keyboard, I like it because I can hold it like a game controller which has been less harsh on my hands compared to typing with a regular keyboard and mouse.

Cool idea for art schools: block IPs of Adobe license verification servers for one week each semester to simulate the future.

Just a reminder that leaving content in closed platforms is a good way to lose it. Take some time *this week* to move your key information out of Slack, Discord, Reddit, Google Docs, etc. and into text files or html pages on the open web for folks to find.

Been on "the apps" tryin to meet new folks locally. One guy opened by giving me a small poem. Gave him a longer poem in kind. It'd be nice to see how long we can keep it going.

@roadrunner I'm still getting used to touch typing on it and am frequently looking down to see where the various function keys are, but the muscle memory is slowly growing.

I plug the glasses into the deck using usb-c and it works great. For floating windows I plan to use stardustxr once I figure out how to integrate controls with it (and maybe a 3dof via a monado driver)

Did a couple of hours of coding at the library with my + combo. Had my Rii i8+ keyboard in my hands for controlling it. It was nice to be able to shift into any position I felt comfortable with without having to adjust a monitor or deal with placing a laptop in a comfortable location. I just sat my deck on a side table and put the glasses on my face.

"Instead of everything having to go to Amazon East in order to share a cat picture, we can instead discover each other on our local network and exchange data directly with each other. So taking peer-to-peer protocols and mashing them with mesh networks makes both of these systems more resilient and powerful." - @mauve

I wonder if we're going to see fewer social media startups in the future try formats where communities can self-organize, since the best way keep the end user powerless is probably algorithmic feeds.
