We updated our bot to keep track of chat history and only chime in when mentioned. We forgot to tell it what anyone's name was or what it's name was so it got hella confused and forgot how to use most of its tools :P

If you are still using the Circle V ⓥ logo to indicate you support Veilid, we are switching to the Square V 🅅 logo to disambiguate from the Vegan/Vegetarian usage of that symbol, which has caused some confusion.
Please update your profiles, and thanks for supporting us!
10. This is like the final step in evolution for me. It's purely a controller meant to hook into external displays. Some folks have already managed to get Linux on it too. Main thing it's missing is a keyboard. If I could figure out a proper text input scheme with a controller and get that working with my LUKS encryption it'd be golden.
I love the lil "mroo" sound my cat makes. 😭💜

At CES I stumbled on this Linux ARM handheld from @mecha Systems You can switch out the IO with a keyboard and gamepad in the works. What do you all think? VIDEO: https://zurl.co/2ebET

Job opportunities
My organisation is looking for a Campaign and Membership Digital Infrastructure Specialist - someone who knows Action Network, and integrations like Airtable, on a contract. Figure there might be some of you around here!
Also, we are recruiting a Head of Operations, part-time, remote. It is mostly helping us work effectively online, tending to people, culture and governance.
Happy to answer any questions!

Making our handbook more accessible to people with screen readers also means making it more accessible to our bot. It doesn't have eyes yet so capturing diagram structure in captions is essential.
Gonna be presenting my Tonal Lenses talk at tonights #AITinkerers meetup in #Ottawa
Hopefully it'll be recorded so I can share it here after

which is why am going back to one of my hills: software developers are artisans, some are even artists.
software developers and engineers are part of the creative classes; and by default, the working classes.
it’s why they need, more than ever, to have their consciousness raised and radicalized 😉

I woke up the other morning and discovered that during my sleep I had transformed into a monstrous bug.
Here's what it taught me about B2B sales:
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.

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

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.
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.
