After dat:, hyper: and Beaker browser got obsolete, I had to discontinue the 3rd frame.
Now it's back.
ipfs: is the protocol.
Recommended browser is Agregore - new, elegant and modest. I hope it stays with us for some time and maybe even outlives Brave :)

Join us tomorrow for Episode 3 of the Causal Islands Podcast!

We're speaking with special guests Jon Corbett about acimow/Cree#, his Cree programming language, and @nasser about Alb, his Arabic programming language.

If you are passionate about programming languages, you won't want to miss this one. https://lu.ma/causalislandspodcast #programminglanguages

I played a bit more with Numen (a cool voice control system, see https://numenvoice.org/). I can not only control my desktop, laptop, or linux mobile phone (#sxmo) with it, but also my house (lights, heating, media, etc) from all of these devices. Next I'll hook some mics to my raspberry pi's and control home automation from there.

All this on-device, no cloud connections, and definitely no "Hey Google", "Siri" or "Alexa"!

Fun fact about Microsoft #Windows: if you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is an OS hotkey that cannot be turned off.

I know this reads like a joke but it isn't.

I spent most of the time I've been trying to run a game company regretting the early decision to not use Unity for my project. But reading this, I'm really, really, *really* glad I don't have Unity anywhere in my stack

Things that stand out here:

- The pricing plan is baffling. It's like they designed it to make it impossible for you to make rational decisions about what you're getting into
- If they bait-switch you like this now, what will they do in ANOTHER 2 years?

I was featured in a news article about blind people using high speech rates over the weekend. I probably wouldn't have chosen the synth they chose for the "test your skills" video, but that's a minor nitpick. https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-secret-language-only-blind-people-can-understand--and-its-not-braille/667eca67-a032-497e-a8fe-2bfd0d57e1c7

Hi, I'm a Haskell programmer. I spent so long getting a math PH.D I forgot "words" can contain more than one letter. I think comp (q,r,s,t) (u,v,w,x) = (q*u+r*w,q*v+r*x,s*u+t*w,s*v+t*x) is "self-documenting code"

Need a second letter in your variable name, just for a laugh? We already have that: It's called '

Three months ago I submitted a post to the #Rust sub-reddit called 'Building a better /r/rust together' wherein I hailed #Lemmy as a fitting successor.

Today we have 3+ moderately active Rust spaces on the threadiverse. To counteract community fragmentation, we need the ability for #ActivityPub groups (Lemmy 'community' or #Kbin 'magazine') to follow other groups.

Help needed from fedi-curious Rust developer out there: Implement FEP-d36d for Lemmy as drafted by @helge
