Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

The project itself has been a team effort and I'm thankful for help from my teammates at Hypha + various folks on the interwebs. Hopefully we can stabilize and document this stuff this month so we can show a full demo.

@light not with this cost of living 💀💀

@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.

@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.

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

@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. https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-223

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_for_Realists) 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.
