@fleeky Unsure about details. I am currently visiting upstate NY and everything is covered. Ottawa seems to be getting power outages and stuff
My favorite @agregore feature is the built in "Reader Mode" which makes it easier for me to read articles without all the random styling and page sizing assumptions websites add.
@vetehinen Yeah just found that after digging around too 😭 Why bother announcing that there's federation even if it's so locked down :L

Which covers this post from a wheelchair user who had to hack his wheelchair to get basic features:

K, I'm thinking of following some bluesky accounts via https://fed.brid.gy/
Anyone I'm already interacting with here wanna link me their bsky accounts so I can see more of their stuff?
@fleeky @390a5738b56da18489cc672da7c2654904096b560ca5ec0581f87c9762f760dc They're on Nostr and following you through a bridge
Honestly reframing goals and problems has been one of these super powers for managing stress for myself
@fleeky I have an "ultrawide" monitor so I place the "main thing" in the middle and more "reference" stuff in the corners. I make a lot of use of overlap and having multiple windows open (~12).
@yasser No, I'm using Chimera OS :P
@fleeky I don't like tiling window managers. I like having a way to spatially organize stuff and they get in the way of that.
CL meta
@evnnbd TBH I don't think I'd want to do any applications in CL still. I'm actually using JS for my transformer/tracing tool since it's fast and flexible and has a lot of libraries. I think the only thing I like about CL is how simple syntax is. 😅 If I was an emacs user I'd likely want to use lisp more. Likely in the future I'll be messing with Guile via spritely goblins though.
@BrodieOnLinux Honestly I love being a raccoon digging through dumpsters. I have years of experience lf finding all the good pizza and sometimes I find beans that are still unopened in a can. Usually I need to smash it with a rock (read through source code) to get at them though. 🦝
"You are not buying from a supplier, you are a raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code." is a fire quote https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier
@olm_e @tezoatlipoca @SyndicWill Yeah federation is a great step and pretty pragmatic. Personally I think it is still not enough because it requires somelne to foot the bill for servers and places control/responsibility over communities into the hands of a few sysadmin nerds. I am a sysadmin nerd but I don't like that my existence could make or break an instance.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
