Hey we're a small group who put together a FREE programme of presentations around low-tech, permacomputing, collective tech practices, extraction, and ewaste.

Saturday 2 December, Amsterdam

:permacomputing:

whatis.permacomputing.net

:permacomputing:

Come and join us, listen to talks, ask questions, hang around and plot together about pmc and related practices.

with: Abdelrahman Hassan @cmos4040 @latentspace @l03s @marieverdeil @michal @neajul @praxeology Shailoh Phillips, Sunjoo Lee @unbinare

FOMO alert: nope it's not streamed and probably won't be recorded, *but* surely you know a lot of cool people around you doing connected things, :unwanted_thinking: what about you try to organise something local as well? See permacomputing.net/getting_sta

A bad thing about social media is this pattern where a person with expertise starts rebutting bad ideas, and it’s great, but over time it primes them to see everyone who doesn’t hold exactly their opinions as part of a horde of goons with terrible ideas, because that’s who they end up interacting with.

Eventually their online persona is, like, Truth Gladiator. And that’s so much less interesting and important to me than Thoughtful Person With Useful Perspectives.

i suppose this is how it's going to go:

1. google chrome bans ad blockers

2. users move to other browsers to surf the web

3. google, youtube, and a ton of other sites that depend on ad revenue dongle themselves to google chrome (and/or any browser that blocks ads)

4. community browsers spoof google chrome but block ads

5. websites try to detect fake chrome browsers

6. *tom & jerry chase sequence*

7. google becomes a huge fan of the idea of running only "trusted" apps on computers

Figured out a portion of my email troubles and got some sleep and suddenly I feel a bit less angry at computers :P

@skryking Ixf you ever wanna microdose the Steam OS experience, run Arch with KDE and forbid the use of installing or configuring anything outside of your user folder. :o One effect is that I usw homebrew for everything on the cli now.

@skryking I'm jot sure tbh. I could probably make some sort of script to restore deleted configs after an update but honestly I don't have time time to spend on anything like that. I just need a computer I can run code on. It almost feels like it'd be better to ssh or rdp into a more stable box or something 😅

Computer software is not a joy to use. Especially if you care about things being "cross platform". The best program is the one you don't run.

@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 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
