@homestucklinebyline Me once I finish my @stardustxr setup
@stebalien@emacs.ch Nice. I have firefox opening all zoom links in a container.
Made a #greasemonkey script to redirect zoom to the web version automatically. I hate the zoom app and I hate having to manually convert invites :P

@skryking Yeah that's a cool idea. I wonder if it'd be able to run efficiently on IoT devices. I think a cli tool that can tunnel anything over tcp could be cool. Kinda like the wormhole stuff built on top of hyperswarm
@skryking Nothing yet but one of my clients is going to be doing secure decentralized storage for activist use cases. I'm hoping to integrate it with @agregore as a sort of "hidden services" protocol where you connect a local http server to a veilid tunnel and can load `http+veilid://{tunnel id}/` in Agregore to access it from anywhere. Unsure when I'll get around to releasing it yet. :P

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.
Potentially this could lead to some easy to use node APIs?
A nightmare woke me up a couple hours early today so I decompressed by getting #Veilid to run inside node.js via Neon bindings to Rust.

The Willow Sideloading protocol is a new protocol for securely delivering Willow data by whatever means possible. USB keys, email attachments, torrents, and other ad-hoc means make a “sidenet” we can use to deliver eventually consistent data using the infrastructure users already have.

We already have something that actually can achieve the human-level performance that keeps being claimed by these charlatans yet not attained, it’s called humans. Imagine what investing $7 trillion in humans could accomplish.

@datakid The ongoing erosion of my ability to tell where information I enter into any random text box on my computer is sent and stored has me increasingly tempted to switch back to a 386 and WordPerfect 5.whatever for MS-DOS
@munin Yeah been thinking of building little NUC form factor devices you plug in and advertise an open ai chat compatible http endpoint over MDNS. Plus gibr it a memory and function calling and all that built in. You can plug it into any app that uses the chat api which is getting pretty standard already. I basically already do this with a mac mini I keep in my closet.

Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@brandon Yeah! Also a lot of DBs already have fancy access control features in place which could be used. I think couch db was made for the "access the db directly" use case but I think it ended up not being as fine grained as I'd like, especially for sparse replication use cases.
Really not a fan of needing servers for APIs. Lately I find it especially annoying when ActivityPub impls have CORS.
oh wow I had a great long weekend disconnecting from cyberspace. I'm excited to take this energy and write some code this week 😈💜

From now on instead of a phone, I just have a raspberry pi strapped to my belt buckle with a giant battery pack in my backpack and a keyboard on my arm

Just read an article about how Apple is going to incorporate openAI into the next iOS and it made me realize I need to maybe get a pine phone
