Question for #tech people. What's a good monitor with an integrated USB C hub? I need something that's ideally ultrawide with a USB c cable I can plug into my laptop for displayport / charging and some ports for USB peripherals for my mic/camera. Ideally it wouldn't bother with HDMI and use a USB C cable for charging but whatever works would work.
Boosts and links very much appreciated.
All software is a series of turduckens glued together with with whatever sticky substances people had on hand with various levels of staleness and mould in each layer. If you're lucky they'll be covered in a pretty layer of icing that might be nice to poke so long as you don't touch what's directly underneath.
And I love it!
Computers are fun because my current setup is Linux (wayland) -> Chromium -> Windows365 virtual computer -> Linux (ssh)
Just to run some python code 🤪

terminally online, in that i only browse the web using lynx
Real shit having lunch and the clouds clearing up has been great on my mental health today.
Free as in "free to choose which boot stomps on you".
They're adding sucralose to non diet sodas now too 😭 I can't escape it

vent, tech hierarchy
How can I get a job as a middle manager so I can just sit in on meetings and not much else 🤪
Seems I'm on course for doing about 1.5 presentations a month for this year. :P This month is going to be a presentation on local AI in #agregore Next month I'm gonna do one about the fediverse and bsky and looking at how they work / comparing the structures. Hopefully my new graph visualization thing will get far enough that I can embed some in my talks.
Watching this guy go over the details of where to punch a horse for highest effectiveness. #dwarffortress
The "adventure mode" fighting mechanics in #dwarffortress are so intimidating. It reminds me of #Gurps or #Degenesis mechanics 😅
Spent a bit of time this weekend adapting a 3d graph visualizer to render JGF files and am working on a tool to turn abstract syntax trees into JGF files. This way I can view code as a graph and work on tools to manipulate it at the graph layer instead of just text. Gonna work on better labelling and display next week and then work on connecting between source files and highlighting node types / quick searching them
Contemplating getting myself a new input device as a gift 🥺

@florimond the amount I enjoyed working with JavaScript went up my a significant amount when I gave myself permission to ignore all of the modern React/Vue/Svelte/etc stuff and just write good-old-fashioned vanilla JavaScript that manipulates the DOM
Vanilla JS is so much nicer today than it was 10 years ago!
Honestly, anything with a frontend build system these days just makes me miserable

One useful way to describe your location is to use the amateur radio QTH grid (also called Maidenhead, which is falling into disuse). It is a shorthand way to give an approximate location that (with elevation) is precise enough to be useful for #weather but doesn’t invade privacy.

warning regarding uspol and data archiving (2)
Also, more generally, consider that institutional organizations are *much* more vulnerable to hostile action than chaotic local collectives which do not have clear operators or representatives.
It pays to store a copy in some obscure organization that's difficult to figure out as an outsider, even if they don't have professional infrastructure to support it. Deliberate censorship is the bigger risk right now, not accidental data loss.
Nuclear war worries
I wasn't awareof the growing threat of nuclear weapons. 💀 Sucks that I live in one of the few places that are a prime target. At least it'd be instant I guess?

This deplatforming shit continues. A friend just got her paid flowcode site shutdown because she’s using it to help activists who arrested at black lives matter protests. Flowcode is kind of a linktree plus micro crm. They’re also being refused access to anyone who will process donations because although a legal defense fund for is entirely legal and constitutionally protected.
This is important, the right to speech and money shouldn’t be limited to those whose views are acceptable to the state or a few corporations that control retail fintech.
This is why I work on Nostr.
