Damb I want that solar power cloak that they had at CES 😍

I want to publicly announce a change in my thinking. For many years I have promoted non-profits, especially foundations as a good way to keep FOSS (Free and Open Source) projects protected and effective.

Not any more.

I am now leaning towards coops as the better vehicle. The cooperative approach allows for better distribution of power to those that do the work where foundations typically concentrate power on those with the money. This might become a long thread that'll take some time.

@kris I'm excited to pair it with my Viture Neckband for portable computing. neckband.viture.com/

@kris I found this video on youtube which is what got me into this again. Also saw some vids of them doing programming which is my main use case for keyboards. youtube.com/watch?v=bVzi4fDzxq

@j3rn Pirate some games/demoware and share then around. I got a lot of mileage out of an Unreal Tournament CD I used to share around.

Has anyone from Lemmy or Friendica written up a FEP for !group@instance.tld format? Would be nice to acknowledge this more as an integral part of the fediverse and get other software that support groups able to do something with these mentions the same way that @username@instance.tld is handled.

9. I saw this in the past but the new wearable setup makes it a lot more appealing to my use case. Might getone eventually and see if it helps with the eternal hand pain more :P

@spiralganglion Big same. Often to turn on accessibility options that are off by default :P

After all of the infosec chatter about how you probably don't need a VPN, age verification has made PornHub block access in most Southern states and TikTok's about to block US IPs. We are entering a new age of internet censorship and you might need a non-shady VPN.

@garbados I'm personally rooting for the squirrels and the corvids

@garbados Ah fair fair. Yeah like hydro electric couls be abother good power source if we can manufacture everything without oil. I guess I just wonder if the next iteration of intelligent life after humans die off will have a good chance or not. They can probs scavange material from our ruins and trash but the lack of easy combustions worries me sometimes.

@rmond do they give a decent charge? I have no clue what types of matrrials are used in solar panels sadly. Though looked into tradeoffs between layouts and orientation relative to the sun's path.

@garbados My knowledge is a bit higher than that, maybe at the level of some of the types of chemicals and physical layouts. Is this related to the solar panels still or an altetnative to needing oil?

@skryking If those are irreplaceable by other materials than a society without access to oil would be pretty screwed 😅

@garbados very little. Just the basics of how batteries work for powering basic circuits.

I wonder if solar panels could be feasibly built by a society that had no access to oil and internal combustion. Seems like a useful skip if possible.

It's even more fun when the instance out is me and then I have to decide when in my schedule I'm gonna fit in fixing postgres. 🤪

Wild seeing instance outages in real time from this side of the bridge

My glasses chain broke and I feel so naked without it.

For anyone curious, here's the published example app. Set up ollama and Agregore and you're good to go!
