It's been a bit of a journey learning and and but these last few functions were very satisfying to write. This code triggers a download of an Iroh-blobs based file from it's hash by establishing tunnels to peers in a group using a multiplexer I built using Veilid AppMessages over private routes. The code to get here was hella messy but these functions felt pretty elegant.

@fabrice @jwz That was useful context, ty. Still unclear how Mozilla plans to profit from this.

@jwz Ah! I meant users of firefox. Like, I have a hard time imagining a single user that wouldn't feel negatively about this.

@jwz I'd love to hear the perspective of someone that actually has positive feelings about this.

tired: it's your own fault if the TLD your organization depends on evaporates for unrelated political reasons entirely out of your control

wired: shut down every .com whose index.html doesn't execute cleanly in x86 real mode

@lvk Ty! I was thinking cartoons since I like making really exagerated voices. My partner is an animator so hopefully they can get me a small role some day.

@lvk I looove AppImages. They just work and packaging them is so easy 😭 That's the main way I use Agregore actually.

@brandon Yeah I think it's too late for me to get famous and the road there isn't lucrative enough to take care of my family 😅

If there was a butlerian jihad we'd get so many more cool jobs.

Being a voice actor sounda cool but I don't think it pays anywhere near as much as computers.

@brooke There's @capyloon which has built on top of FirefoxOS bits but runs on modern phones :O

My toxic trait is that I'd prefer software / libraries statically link all their dependencies and live with the bugs / security vulns rather than deal with constantly breaking software from version mismatches. 😅

@Miaourt that's a cool concept. Do you know of any long form written text that gets really into the weeds on it? I personally enhoy working, but wouldn't mind less pressure to work for specific oegs just to live. I also think UBI could be good for folks that are disabled or near disabled or just low capacity.

@Miaourt this was unconditional livable basic income. parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1

The book mostly goes over how pilot programs showed savings in gov spending and boosts to local economies and people's quality of life.

@Miaourt Yessss. I kinda like the book [Utopia for realists](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_f) and UBI adjacent stuff.

The Canadian government (where I'm from) recently struck down an attempt to enstate it federally. It's unfortunate because conservatives and centrists folks hold a lot of power here and seem to passionately dislike stuff like that :P

@Miaourt Yeah I agree fully. A lot of it is probably also "that's how it's done" or "they did it so we should too". 😥

@Miaourt Oh? I don't think I've seen any of those before 💀💀

I wish org leaders had enough pride in their orgs to care about user experience over data harvesting.

There should be legal consequences for cookie popups with dark patterns. `Reject all` should be a required button rather than going through several steps where "accept all" is the only obvious button.

@serapath You're like the cliche of "freedom of speech means I should get to be an asshole everywhere" embodied as a person and your post here is a great example of that.

Notice how nobody else gets kicked from places except spam bots or open trolls.

Having boundries is the foundation of social relations and you feeling entitled to break them is one of your biggest flaws and why you cannot be trusted to engage in good faith.
