@aynish It's pretty easy with the rokid and a samsung dex + a bt keyboard. I'm hoping a pinephone pro will also work well. Thogh right now I'm mostly using it with my steam deck. Actually that's what I'm doing right now! :P Easier to have the cat cuddle up by my legs this way.

This is also why e.g. the horrible ecosystem of recipe sites is what it is: the most useful content has long ago stopped being what you find through Google. But Google needs a captive audience of regular ad-fee-payers, which in turn is who gets featured.

Much like Amazon only posting products from those vendors who pay, Google is simply selling your eyeballs directly.

That process of capture is basically complete, is what I'm saying, and has been for some time now.

@Nulo I guess when I say "the web" I mean http+html from "web browsers". So stuff outside of that could either be called "not the web" or "new web" depending on framing 🤷

@thisismissem Neat, what do you find better about it? I personally haven't had any issues with nvm accross all the environments I used it in.

Heads up to any and developers out there: If you aren't already you should be using the Node Version Manager utility since a lot of projects need either an older or newer version of node and you'll have a bad time if you only use the system installed version.

`nvm use 16` saved me hours of debugging why Splunk's build tools weren't working recently :P

mental health 

A thing that I had a lot of my hopes riding on got cancelled yesterday and my mental house of cards is toppling. I've got so much on my plate for the next few weeks and it's gonna be rough.

Thankfully I am powerful and resilient and will get through it.

Maybe instead of "a new web browser" I should be making "a new app" which fulfills some of my fave bits of the web.

E.g. structured content, small interactive apps, cross platform.

Probably my fourth time playing through jazzpunk and it just doesn't get old.

I think it's only just clicking for me that the death of the web is upon us. Instead of "googling" for stuff folks are searching on tiktok, instead of indexable forums there's closed discord communities. In fact apps and services are becoming locked within proprietary apps like discord. Paired with "ai" language models creating infinite web spam the whole thing is becoming less useful for the average person.

windows users really paying like 100$ for an unusable operating system meanwhile with linux you don't need to pay anything for an unusable operating system 😎

like local-first software, the current state of the web is google-first software

Shoutout to past me for all the build tool BS it had to go through so that present me is more comfortable setting stuff up from scratch. Few things feel as good as throwing out hundreds of megabytes of confusing react/bable/webpack/lerna corposhit for a single build command and a static html file. :P

Let’s say it loud and clear:

There’s nothing wrong with promoting your small business, your art, books, your services on mastodon or any other social media.

Self promotion is not an ad!

It’s being part of a community.

People have to it. Other people might need and want the good stuff their community members might offer.

Mutual support and buying from your community members is good, wholesome and necessary.

Boost if you agree, so creators feel welcomed to self promote here

In June I went to DWeb Camp. In August I finally finished my post about the experience : hypha.coop/dripline/technologi

@cubicgarden Yeah! Etke.cc has a few they support out of the bpx and you can choose whatever ones you want or don't want. E.g. I didn't bother setting up twitter or linkedin

@cubicgarden Nice! I pay etke.cc to help manage the instance since it's a major pain in the ass to set up from scratch. I use a cloud VM but you can probably run something locally if you set up a public ip or a reverse proxy.

I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.

If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.

No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps

Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon
