Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

@alcinnz @mauve Yeah honestly, it'd be great to see some alternatives to JS heavy web pages. It'd also be interesting to get more user theming into user agents similar to what we have for desktop environments.

Hey folks! I've done a writeup on the #moderation tools we'll be adding to the #DistributedPress #ActivityPub integration.

This is based on talking to folks on here and reading through discussions people have been having around this topic. We'll be using these tools for blogs we post at #HyphaCoop and will be improving them as we go.

It was requested by @hopeconf that we spread this #2600 #news, so I'm doing the thing. ​

i want the default computing experience to be 90s anime tech aesthetics.

i want to go to my friend's house and they're like "look at this thing" and i take a peek at their computer and i'm just like "what the fuck even is this" as they shlunk a 12-disk array into a matching set of disk slots and type a bunch of commands to boot up a program with a UI like nothing i have ever seen in my life

and the program is just like. a basic chat client. but like, the coolest basic chat client you've ever seen

in the future, basically all websites will be full of unblockable ads and/or implemented entirely in ultra-fucked webassembly/opengl, and the tech-savvy will browse the web entirely through cat & mouse proxy servers running headless browsers to OCR the inaccessible content back into old-fashioned normal HTML and illegally redistribute it through peer-to-peer networks

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!

That is some never ending thunder

These #Chromebooks can run #Linux... and should be reloaded and redeployed. Corporate lock in...

@mauve Lutris includes a bunch of crowdsourced scripts for setting up known-good wine environments for various linux games, and can also connect to gog and steam and apparently also epic, origin, humble, and ubisoft too though I've never used those

Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.
