transhumanism, crapitalism
Honestly having a digital brain wouldn't be so bad if not for us existing in a capitalist hellscape.
Reading Greg Egan's writing gives me so much hope for being able to surpass my body's physical limitations. Sadly it's science fiction and I'll likely be stuck in this shell for my existence.
One idea we talked about a few months back was users designing their own algorithms for their feed. I'd like one that would show the most recent post (singular) from every person I follow. This would surface content from less frequent posters. Call it a "check in" page. This shouldn't be default, but rather a sorting option you could toggle. #feeds #algorithm #mastodonSuggestions
Some folks turned me onto Greg Egan's writing. Gotta say I can't believe I've been missing out on all of this for so long! Lots of greathard #SciFi with transhumanist storylines and graphs.
@pikhq "intellectual property" is a scam invented by the wealthy so they can try to own ideas,. Thoughts! As if owning everything in the physical world isn't enough!

Seeking #developer #advice ❤️ 🤔
We want to create a webby GUI app for accessing federated forge network, a bit like Element is to Matrix 🖥️
Been considering to write from scratch using Tauri, Tailwind, didn't pick a language
Now considering to fork #GitHub Desktop instead! Replace GitHub API with ForgeFed and tweak the UI etc.
https://github.com/desktop/desktop
It's an existing codebase with over 33k commits
Is it a good idea to fork? Thoughts/concerns/advice? And boost 🙏

I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse. I'm worried about the "VCs subsidize AI tech and sell it at a loss just long enough to make everyone rely on them (aka 'disrupting the knowledge worker industry') before bumping the price up and quality down just like Uber and Amazon and the rest" apocalypse. #ai #vc
AI LLM Coding
Are there any of these "coding assistants" that are CLI based instead of part of an IDE?
I think the main thing holding me back from trying them out right now is that my CLI is my IDE and I run scripts fore everything that I can't do in Nano.
I'd really like to avoid having to install an entire IDE with yet another chromium backend just to get some fancy code autocomplete. 😅
LMAO.

Good thing I didn't load it up with any services yet. :P My reward is to have to rebuild the machine from a base image and delete the SSH key from known_hosts.
Writing some ansible scripts to automate spinning these guys up. (this is for distributed.press)
So where should I be going for search if not DuckDuckGo? (defs not Google or regular Bing either).
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
