I unfortunately am not at all skilled in hardware design or development, but more than anything I just wish someone would put out a digital ring or smartwatch that could act as a personal wearable datastore, that could auto sync with other devices over bluetooth as a disk. I just can't believe we aren't walking around with 512gb local-syncing watches on our wrists. 😢
Lmao I Element really likes to make me suffer with weird bugs. Somehow the latest update manages to freeze my browser and then OOM when it tries to do some sort logic after initial load. Clearing cache didn't fix it either so I guess I just have no way of answer work messages in the middle of this major crunch
Now that Rust have given me predictable and easy to use destructors via the Drop trait I kinda wish I had them everywhere :x
@liaizon @snarfed.org That's my main reason for using the fediverse tbh. If only I could mix my instagram and tiktok follow graph into this thing too 😅

The @snarfed.org bridge is one of the coolest things about the fediverse right now. It is amazing to me that more people aren't talking about it. It shows so much potential for the future of the open web. I want to see a 1000 bridges to a 1000 different networks bloom.
@liaizon I am so thankful my instance is low value enough to be the targer of such things 😅
@alilly why is it touching the clipboard at all? 🫠

One of the strongest arguments for right-to-repair (that no one wants to make) is that as the supply chain collapses, maintaining all the technology in our possession becomes exponentially more important. Parts must be interchangeable, accessible, and open for this to really work at all.
LMAO I think I just literally used magic to make this networking code work. 🤪

Yep, the Chrome team is now reaching into your machine to remove your browser extensions. Don't want them to? Tough noogies.
🙃
That's not your browser.
That's not your web.

It’s fascinating to see just how fast the web could be if it wasn't burdened by images and millions of lines of Javascript. Check out CNN's "lite" web site.
I added a thing to my window manager to show me the current moon phase so I could be more aware of the moon in general. It's pretty wild that it's floating up there while we join it on its rotation around the sun.
My cats are just too cute. It's amazing how effortlessly they make my heart weep from joy just by seeing them sleeping in the sun.
Call me an Enterprise Java Programmer or whatever but I really like method and variable names that say exactly what they are rather then saving characters.
`let routing_context = bla bla; routing_context.get_route()` is just so much quicker for me to grock than `let rc = bla bla; rc.get_route()`. Then again I guess the intellisense stuff would be popping up the type for folks for the shortnames?

In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!
Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.
No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.
Just be inert until acted upon!
Who needs to worry about LLMs eating my system resources when `cargo build` will do it just fine. 🤪
@hrefna TIL, ty for the link. On my end we've been experimenting with something similar to MongoDB queries but represented via querystring parameters. Nothing formal or public yet though.
