I realise this thread has strayed way off its original topic, but... hot take:
Mozilla should bring back Firefox OS.
Putting decade-old company politics aside it was the most innovative and potentially disruptive thing Mozilla ever built, before and since, and is needed now more than ever.
For smartphones maybe, but also all manner of other smart devices where owning the OS is the only effective way to disrupt the incumbents.
@alilly I recently wrote some code that analyzes and transforms code and now I feel so good about having the option to just refactor a bunch of it with code without needing to do stuff manually.
@Hyolobrika Hmm, sometimes the IPFS daemon dies and gets stuck in a broken state. Generally you need to clear your browser data to fix it. I thought I had added some code to recover from it in the last release but there might be something more subtle happening. Else it's just unable to resolve the address.
i will have some availability to take on new client work in may! if there's anywhere my experience in graphics, full stack web development, game design/development, programming languages, or distributed systems can be helpful -- please reach out!
you'll not only be supporting me but my cooperative @emma too, which means supporting a democratically managed worker-owned workplace! which is cool!!!
boosts welcome!
@fleeky mostly fingers and knees though. Looking into getting a brace or skmething to avoid hyperextending by accident :P
@fleeky Yeah alternating cold and hot has been helping. Gonna look into doing physio this year to build up muscle groups to help or something. I think being able to float when I sleep would be better though.
@SallyStrange I ditched the predictive keyboard a few yeara ago because it kept changing the word I was typing to whatever it wanted. Sadly my finger mobility sucks so I still have lots kf spelling errors from mistypes. Way less frustrating to use for me though.
Great article with analogies to how the destruction of "scientific forestry" relates to the destruction of online diversity with social media and growth hacking tech.

Whoa. This seems really important. New study suggests that changing the charging protocol from the presently common constant current charge to a high frequency pulsed square wave current could DOUBLE the lifetime of Li-ion batteries.
i.e. the 8 year life of an EV battery back could be extended to a much more reasonable 16 years. That's huge.

@enigmatico @Hyolobrika @foone @eriol @kite@tech.lgbt @trans_caracal @selzero @yassie_j @lofty @Ailunarenth@den.raccoon.quest I've enjoyed most of the remasters I've played lately 🥰

I could store all my models on there so as not to clutter my main drive.
Itching to get an eGPU just for accelerating AI workloads on my lil GPD Win 4.
My Oculink port is just sitting here collecting dust.
Oh, here's a visualization I made for an algorithm I developed for reducing the number of connections needed for a swarm of peers with limited knowledge of network topology.
Maybe I should start cold calling research groups to see if they want some tech stuff. I'm thinking distributed compute or databases or verilog could be useful.
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.
