Posting a screenshot for anyone who does not want to go to the bird site. and yes, this hits harder than I was prepared for too. Original post https://mastodon.social/@joncamfield/109820785741700309
I love having a wide monitor because I can have like a dozen windows open and spread out spatially so I can refer to a bunch of things at once.
I'm excited for a future when I can do this in 3D space and get even more flexibility.

i think one technology that may get bosses out of the loop would be #p2p -ish collaboration tools. inside the firm this may bring down control and information flow down from management and to in between the endpoints, maximizing the use of local knowledge. but it can go beyond firm boundaries: working directly with customers, suppliers, competitors would potentially be just as easily.
I'm excited to attend #DecentSocial on the 11th to talk to folks about decentralized social networks.
In particular I'm excited to infodump about #p2p #databases and how they can be used to bridge #ActivityStreams into serverless contexts.
The thing where Twitter is destroying their API and breaking a bunch of third party apps is that the same thing can happen with any API at any time.
All these fancy Discord based bots are vulnerable to breaking any day and your entire community being left stranded.
User and developer agency is important for any sense of longevity and people should get serious about where their points of failure are.

Well, that didn't take long. We're starting to see almost-believable autogenerated text being used so spam our issue tracker.
There's a legitimate chance that ChatGPT and their ilk are going to kill participatory open source. How can you keep any forums open to the public, when anyone can just pour an arbitrary amount of generated garbage into them?
How do you tell a smart but green contributor who's still learning the language from a thousand bots spewing averacitous trash?
Learning new dynamics and social norms is hard. But it's worth it to enable collaboration.
Surprised I haven't come accross any p2p DoS attack tools.
Should be easy as hell to generate thousands of DHT entries that lead to invalid IPs.
Neat, a document on starting a #tech #coop.
Seems to be USA centric but I'm sure a bunch of stuff applies in other contexts too.

Might also want to checkout Hypha's organizational guidebook for how you could structure your coop. https://handbook.hypha.coop/

The question shouldn't be "Why do Black folk see racism in everything?"
The question should be "Why do white folk not see any of this?"
The answer to the better question is of course, that there is an information delta between "what Black folk know about racism" and "what white folk know about racism."
Racist people don't want you to know any of this stuff. Because some people, on reading this stuff, say, "Sounds bad. We should maybe change things to be less bad?"

@mauve @lupyuen We have a Pinephone Pro installer image now, and it works quite well.
See https://debian.capyloon.org/images/installer/
We would be very interested in closer collaboration with @PINE64

without trying to turn this into a power structure analysis
the problem with advice from managers is that it's often a list of things they can get away with, or got away with as senior engineers before making the leap
this list of "advice for engineers" is better framed as "what a good manager should look for"
because a bad one will still punish you anyway, especially if you show any form of autonomy or agency
Yeah, I really need a shitpost account.

I was planning to procrastinate today but never got around to it
Ahhh, I really want to save up for a #EUC ! They look so cool and portable. I'd love to use it instead of my car to get groceries and stuff. Bikes are too cumbersome for me and walking is way too far where I live.
I think I'd also settle for non shitty public transit too. 🤪
