@jackdaw_ruiz People shouldn't be allowed to own things they don't have a personal attachment to.
Made the mistake of trying to give QT another shot.

I think I am particulrly sensitive to my information streams being disrupted because I am very much a cyborg and these are my sensory organs that are suddenly being ripped out.

All the graphical email clients suck and they either use gigabytes of ram or don't support basic shit like using DNS SRV records to lookup server info for account setup. Usually both plus some extra bullshit. I'm going joker mode and dropping everything until I have my own client.
I'd almost switch to Windows at this point just so I don't have to mess around with configs and re-loging into all my email accounts every month.
LMAO and it completely fucked my email client. Remind me why should I bother updating software ever? Every update I get just makes my system worse and more unstable.
Just updated my #SteamDeck and it turns out they broke the MDNS support so I can't resolve `.local` domains again. It's literally one line of code what bullshit reason could they have for disabling this. The cherry on top is that the readonly filesystem means I'd lose this setting on every update if I enable it manually

"Most anarchists always wear black. However, knowledgeable intellectual anarchists occasionally avoid wearing black in order to subvert preconceptions about the way that anarchists dress. Very knowledgeable intellectual anarchists subvert the stereotype of how knowledgeable anarchist intellectuals occasionally avoid wearing black by never avoiding wearing black. The really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchists realize that it doesn't matter what you wear as long as you (1) hate the government, and (2) never use a coaster. And the extremely really really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchist wear nothing at all except combat boots and a black silk cape with the anarchy sign on it."
@Gmaclennan Yeah that's reasonable. This idea would require building upon some more c/c++ friendly p2p protocols and getting into the internals of how sqlite loads and saves data 😅
@jonny Honestly wild how apps like facebook abd discord become replacenebts for the web. I thibk habing a "familiar inyetface" for data helps a lot. The variety of web clntent and apls makes it harder to switch cobtects and sources
@jonny I think good loops need bidirectional feedback. Tis also why I likr puppet bridges
@jonny very cool! Would be neat to have ab easy way for the different platforms to qurry abou yhe state of the wiki too. Or even use something like embeddibgs to search through it
@Gmaclennan Have you thought ahout ditching hypercore oplogs for replicating at the sqlite storage layer? Merkalize the b tree and have sql as your primiyive and sync the source trees from other writers (still runs into paralell writers issue hut maybe merged can happen more efficiently that way too?
@staltz Yeah I totally get yah. Even just a bit a month from comapnies that depend on it would make it so nuch cheaper for them in the long run too 😅
@staltz 🫂 jeeze yeah. I'm defs too scared to go that route. Personally I live on cobtravts that ket people do a thing they'd have trouble with otherwise
@staltz wild. Are corporate users of nodejs-mobile not aware of the donations thing? Feels like a no brainer for keeping this alivr
@staltz May I ask how this work got funded? this is such a useful tool for the node community to have available
@jonny Mind libking me tk the guts of how it structures data (what does discord see, what does the wiki see)? Having a bit of trouble navigating the code.
@staltz yrah and tbey sypport ethernet over the connection tk auto cobfigure devices into the network. V good boilerplate for smart homes imo (with p2p networking and service discovery of course)
@jonny That is very good to hear! I am a major fan of wikis. I prefer more losely structured docs witb a big central index usually. Tho honestly usually the only "index" is sort by recently viewed and show title
