Hello, Toronto! Have you been in want of a hackerspace that caters to software tinkerers, game jammers, demosceners, and tech art makers? Do you wish there was a community hub for weird nerds right near Spadina and Bloor?
Then the Queer Computer Club is your space! Come by this Sunday for our first open house. Meet people, chat about tech, and maybe become a member?
More details in the link below. We hope to see you there!

Hey #WebXR people, as we are still stuck on Android rather than a proper Linux XR headset, could we at least put a Linux instance on a Web page, an immersive one? 🐧😎
It's "flat" but what if it didn't have to? Started as https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm/issues/90 and working now, partly.
Kudos to the whole AFrameVR, threejs and WebVM communities for that, amazingly enough I only put it all together and voila, working GNU environment in WebXR.
Once entering XR the terminal based on xterm.js and https://github.com/AdaRoseCannon/aframe-htmlmesh by @ada works... but freezes, no input (despite term.focus() ) nor refresh (despite term.refresh() or reset()) so suggestions welcomed!
Running nginx in termux as on device HTTPS server works on a standalone HMD too.
I think I might have to switch to visual studio code or something similar soon just to make my speech to text typing easier. I can imagine that having the fancy code completion would actually make a huge difference from my typing speed.
when I use a keyboard and typically way too fast for suggesting thing to actually keep up, but my voice isn't quite as good at handling weird API names

Adding tech to household appliances makes them less reliable and more expensive.
[Refrigerators with net-connected computers and screens. Wifi-connected dishwashers, clothes washers, etc.]
Improving the technology of a household appliance usually makes it more efficient or cheaper.
[Heat pumps are more efficient air conditioners. High-capacity inverters make refrigerators, air conditioners, microwaves and induction cookers more efficient... to the point where induction cookers wouldn't be residential devices without them.]
bluh gotta figure out how to do swagger in golang as well as use some new router I haven't before.

Over the weekend, I learned that in modern JS, you can just make up your own events and create listeners to respond to them, and *nobody can stop you*. Like, you can add a listener for an event you call `control-reset` or `text-edit` or `steve` or *whatever*, and then when something on the page dispatches that event at the listener, the listener will act! It’s event anarchy!
Woof. Seem to be recovering from my cold finally. Been mostly composting in bed staring at videos past few days.
Still a bit out of it but pulling myself together.
Carpal tunnel has been coming back to my right thumb so I gotta start training lefty to take on more loads to account for that.
Pet snake
One of my new kittens has decided it's a good idea to start climbing on top of my corn snake's terrarium and just staring at her as she tries to inch in closer. Gotta relocate the snake now cause she tried to strike at the cat (stopped bybthe terrarium cover) which didn't dissuade it from sitting longer

@jonny "if our wildest dreams for "open science" are to pay amazon to rent our own data... we need better dreams" 💯 there is this weird push for expensive (and carbon-unfriendly) cloud hosting of raw data in neuroscience. everything else on the poster is also awesome.

Open source maintainers are often good at writing code but not good at asking for money
Companies aren't very good at giving money away, but they absolutely know how to hire consultants - and they often have a training budget set aside already
Spend that money on maintainers!
Mastodon not trying to load an account's outbox when following is one of the most frustrating "features" of the platform. In what world is "user has 24 posts, but I won't show them to you" good UX, At least fetch it client side without indexing into the db or something. 🙃

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

Great and it doesn't want to recover encryption keys for my chats. Wonderful software! Military grade.

Fucking element froze up and corrupted its data again. Getting real tired of this shit
This also handles generating digests for your request body and adding in expected headers like Host and Date.
Also has a useful function for generating new keypairs and an example structure for your Actor object.
Just published a new module for doing signed HTTP requests for #ActivityPub in #JavaScript for #NodeJS
This wraps over the `fetch` API that's typically used in browsers but is now available in node.
Wish I had more time to invest into fixing the tools I depend on. Every feature is a thing that can break and a workflow that might need to be adjusted.
Still worth it to not have to jump between a bunch of apps and "slack workspaces" to get my work done. :P
