Here is a new scam happening. Somebody want to rent my upwork (!!) account (that I do not have) and have access to my computer so that they can work as me for a 10% fee.

Don't do this.

Hi everyone, I'm a totally blind electronic musician. Looking for a audio, developer fluent in C++ d to help me with a very special open source project to assist blind people with electronic music production. If you can help me, or know anyone in your network who can please reach out and get at me. Thanks very much everyone :-) #electronic music :-)

tech companies: lay off employees en masse in an obviously coordinated action to depress the salaries of the people who actually do all the work

the government: what’s a “cartel”. I don’t know what that word means

I'm not much of a gamer so that part isn't exciting for me, but this seems to be more powerful and more portable than my current computing setup so I think it'll be worth it.

Also, the 4G adapter is exciting since I could potentially replace my Android phone with this thing. :x

This past few months at the other site has me convinced organizations should 100% do whatever they need to do to build outreach capacity independently from social media sites.

Make a newsletter, a zine, a big Signal group, whatever you want. But it should be yours, so it can't just be bought or taken away.

Whoa, this thing seems like a great alternative to the with beefier specs, a smaller form factor, and a built in keyboard.

Apparently it works more or less out of the box with ! I've been thinking of replacing my NUC with the steamdeck, but now I think I'll wait for this to come out and do that instead.

The specs might be better for too.

It'd be neat if there was a front end for that looked like Tiktok but with the algorithm being on the client side with more control over how it finds content.

Wondering where to buy DRM-free ebooks, digital comics, magazines & RPGs?

Here's my list of over 300 ebookshops that sell books you can actually own, keep, and read on your favourite devices!

@Are0h Honestly what gets me about capitalism is that as a society we seem to have decided that democracy is good, but only sometimes.
Democracy in voting for your local mayor? Good. Democracy in voting for your boss? Bad.
And no-one ever questions it.

Are there any alternatives to Google's spreadsheets that folks liked using? Specifically interested in self hosting, live collaboration, amd access control.

Hobestly wish HackMD had something for spreadsheets built in so I could write text instead of fiddling with a mouse :P

If you're excited to try stuff right away before we actually have docs out, we've got our latest code in the `v1-staging` branch which contains some Ansible scripts to deploy to your own VM.

If you've got 5 bucks a month to spare, you can get it running on a digital ocean droplet and start hosting your sites.

I'll be making a demo video of how this works next week to share around.

Our next steps are going to be integrating so that blogs published to the can have a way to have comments left of them while sticking to static site generation!

Maybe soon we'll also have and support via microservices that build on top of Distributed Press.

Just loaded my first site published to the new version of distributed.press with proper and support!

The DNSLink stuff is a bit iffy for hypercore, but I'll be fixing that up tomorrow.

Now stuff can be published via Distributed Press, and viewed via @agregore

What's cool is that in addition to keeping your content online, you can easily configure it to set up DNS keys for you by delegating with an NS DNS entry for the `_dnslink` subdomain on your domain.

looking for self-hosting initiatives outside of the european / north american context... :thinktink:

Honestly very excited for this first round of apps and tutorials to be released for this @agregore grant. :O

One of them is going to be a small series on bootstrapping your own dev environment from scratch.

At least one of the tutorials is aiming at absolute beginners and using stuff like jsfiddle instead of full fledged IDEs for tinkering with the code.

Buhh, I wanna just work on little p2p web apps but instead I gotta work to pay rent.

Hopefully some of the funding strings I've been tugging at will finally give.

Been thinking a music player and an RSS reader would be a major improvement to my life.

Capitalism has convinced you RSS is antiquated. The real reason it's fading is because it doesn't have ads and tracking. You going to tell me the news article is truly better on a browser with ads than on a little program you can open any time, on or offline?
