@neauoire OMG! This is so good to know. I was looking at TUI music players and hadn't seen this as an option.
While liberating a Pixel phone I came across this poetry, and on the day Google is convicted of illegal market monopoly in the US: the power button itself, the interface to switching off a device one supposedly owns, is intercepted by a Google 'AI' product. The device can not be powered off, even using buttons as described, without first downloading software from the company.
This domineering and invasive interface culture has to be stopped.
@fabrice Yeah I tried to clone it and shove it into Box/Arc.
😭 The #rust borrow checker is no pushover. Brain turning to goo trying to figure out how to tie the lifetime of this channel sender to an Arc of a callback closure.
Neat, rediscovered this talk I did on "Holistic Local-First Software" last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqUzhnDd1-E
you want to start the thing, a studio a label a lab? that's great! everyone in your life is going to tell you to establish hierarchies and engage with capital, let's talk about why you might not want to do that, why you might want to start a cooperative instead, the trade-offs there. because that's not a conversation you're going to have anywhere else unfortunately
At the rate I'm going by 2030 I'm going to be using lynx as my main browser just so I don't have to see AI imagery
@nasser Yeah tbh the main thing I find hard is doing nice curves. I end up doing so much trig math to get minimal results 😭
@terrantechpriest The way the renderer works in Agregore is it detects the mime type of a page in a web extension and then injects js+html to render the page. Sadly this means the webserver with the data needs to serve the correct mime type else it triggers a download. I've been considering doing some hacks on the http headers to work around it tho.
@nasser i think it's easier to write svg from scratch or codegen it :P
@aynish so thankful for air conditioning 😭💜 first year I have it available consistently and even then it struggles during the peak
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.
