Teehee time to delete all my code and switch programming languages because this one has a better library for what I want to do. 😝
Been playing with continue.dev in Visual Studio Code hooked up to lmstudio.ai running OpenHermes 2.5. It works *okay* but I think the default prompts aren't exactly tuned for the ChatML format from the Mistral 7b model. So far editing code has been a shitshow but it's been useful to be able to ask it for python syntax instead of looking it up on duck duck go every time. I have it running on a mac mini in my closet so the dedicated M2 chip makes it pretty speedy.

1. New default: Your phone number will no longer be visible in Signal
2. You can create an optional username to connect without sharing your phone number
3. You can enable a new, optional privacy setting to require people to connect with you via username instead of phone number
Our fully remote team at @hyphacoop does a weekly coffee break. This year I've updated it from a Google Meet room to a Mozilla Hubs virtual office space complete with a giant water cooler and zany avatars. Since hubs is going to be closing down due to the layoffs I might start self hosting it or migrate to another platform like Thirdroom.
Wish I could send pull requests to how random businesses operate and plan inventory so I can get the sody pop I want within easy walking distance

btw here is something cool - the 3 of us watching on @monsterdon were making the #p2p thing of peertube happen. i was a little behind because i kept going back to watch scenes again, so i mostly downloaded from whoever was ahead rather than uploaded, but like this is so sick to me because if it had to serve the whole movie to everyone it probably wouldn't be able to handle many more than this, but with p2p we can basically have as many people watching as we want.
first pic is from like 2/3 of the way through the movie, second is from the end, so most of that server download happened at the beginning when i was the only peer.

@ryanramage just to clarify, when it's not spatial displaying you get the full resolution whereas when it's head tracking you might get blurring. I think the bigscreen beyond and the apple vision pro have sufficient resolution to make spatial rendering clean to use. Maybe quest 3 too?
@ryanramage I haven't used a quest 2 for this but I find for spatial displays it's good to scale UIs 200% due to it bluring the pixels when you move your head. For the rokid in regular display mode it's like having a literal 1080p screen in front of you so it's about as crisp as that. But that's without any head tracking or AR. I find it comfy to code and browse when sitting and scale up when on the move.
@kik Yeah! Among other p2p protocols and regular static site publishing. Following @dripline and the hashtag #DistributedPress on here should be enough. I think we have RSS on dripline too. Also @sutty is intehrating it with their static site content management system which is nice to use.
@92e3aac668edb25319edd1d87cadef0b189557fdd13b123d82a19d67fd211909 The title of the article is a bit more alarming than the reality. You can still navigate to web apps via bookmarks and stuff. The restriction now makes notifications and offline first stuff a hit harder. Tbh if you want to use nostr or anything outside the corporate hapoy path I'd suggest getting an Android or a linux phone or something since Apple will be fighting you the whole time.
@ansuz Yeah the dev that started the impl was most comfortable with it and we kinda kept going from there :) Tbh it has caught some bugs when refactoring which was nice. Typing dependencies is kinda frustrating though. If you're doing node.js you may like my signed fetch library. https://github.com/RangerMauve/http-signed-fetch

One trend I keep noticing about interviews with Gargron or any article about “Mastodon” is how often they ask Gargron about “competing” or they write about competing and growth.
Gargron, to his credit, usually semi-dismisses it, but it shows just how lost in the hypercapitalist techno-feudalism sauce tech journos are that they still make it out to be about growth.
It’s been over year since Mastodon and the Fediverse gained mindshare… It’s clear that while they vaguely understand the technical underpinnings, they do not understand the social underpinnings that make it all possible.
It’s like they believe that each Fediverse server is a micro-Twitter that wants to be purchased by a technocorp, and all admins are in it because they want fifty billion users on their instance.
The Fediverse is the “next Twitter” in the same way that the tram is the “next car”.

It’s a trap. More code is not your friend, it’s your enemy.
Don’t add the dependency. Don’t generate 8000 lines of JavaScript. Replace JS with CSS. Don’t accept the digital grey goo spewed out of tools such as Copilot.
Code is a liability. Anything that helps you make more, quickly, with no effort, is leading you down a very dark path.
(muting this now; sorry, but it’s too noisy)
Everything about Apple the company pisses me off so much. They're some of the most abusive companies out there with how they treat the needs of others.
