Pretty sure it was how I found "stuffonmycat.com" and articles about populating cell matrices with animal cells with the goal of making replacement organs.
@caten Brutal 💀 Not unexpected sadly.
@Aaron_Davis I don't think it's been a thing for over a decade now. :P
Joyscrolling "stumbleupon.com" was the shit back in the day. I learned so much about science and random niches. Wish there was a similar thing these days too.
@suricrasia i could imagine a 2 hour videoessay on the topic
Imagine a language model trained only on youtube comments.
@anselmschueler That's so sweet. Works in the Kitty terminal emulator too.
@erebion Yeah I feel a bit sad that the core of it requires processing so much data on the client side to function. I kinda wish the client-server API was more focused on sparse loading to enable thinner clients.
@suricrasia ty for making this! It is a very good set of feelings for my brain stem.
Yippeeee 🥳

Learning a bunch about wifi hotspots and network interfaces on Linux. Kinda wish I could get away with learning way less about it and get to the actual goal 🤪
@taq Nope! Entirely hand written :P
I used it a bit to remember the syntax for camera capture for some of the example apps though.
@taq Yeah I'm trying to see the smallest possible option to work accross devices while being able to generate usable code snippets.
Mozilla #pocket shutting down is exactly why we should be building on top of #p2p data trasfer foundations. Depending on cloud services means it's just a matter of *when* the service will shut down or make your usual flows inaccessible.
The thing is, with tools like #agregore it's way easier to make and distribute small apps that are local to your or your friend's devices.

So pocket is shutting down. It's fatiguing to have your digital life depend on so many externalities that you don't control.
If I have food in my fridge, I can eat. If I have clothes in my closet I can get dressed and go outside. It won't all disappear at a moment's notice because some decision was made somewhere.
In the digital world, permanence is a mirage. You can't really depend on anything being there, unless you control it all from the hardware to the software.

XR shell (xrsh) now supports saving & restoring VM-snapshots.
Afaik the first (famous last words) in-WebXR linux distro which can persist state over https://remotestorage.io

If someone were to invest development resources into the Open Source ecosystem right now, improvements to which area would benefit the user experience across all device form factors (desktop, laptop, mobile etc.) the most? You can name both individual applications, libraries and subsystems as well as broader topics like e.g. "messaging".

Do NOT judge me but that is literally so sexy of her.
Few programs out there that both deserve my respect AND command me onto my knees begging

Thesis: ChatGPT is destroying education, students keep using it to cheat on homework and exams.
Antithesis: ChatGPT has no understanding of facts or semantics.
Synthesis: Homework and exams don't measure understanding of facts or semantics, and can be fooled by plausible-sounding bullshit.
