Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

I've replaced my mouse (and a lot of my keyboard use) with a PS4 controller for almost a week now. AMA

I still use my BT keyboard for typing, but that's mostly cause my PS4 BT keyboard has a bunk battery from being so old.

Also I'm glad I fixed up the renderer extension in #agregore finally.

Now I can just click around links to navigate linked data right from my browser.

Manually activity-ing my pubs.

What if my outbox was just a file! https://mastodon.mauve.moe/users/mauve/outbox

Mood today: Watching shitty isekai anime and experimenting with p2p static sites for ActivityPub data.

I wish the cost of living around here wasn't so scary lately. I just want to live with my partner somewhere comfortable and afford to eat without us working ourselves to death. Even 8 years ago that seemed like a much easier feat.

Oh yeah I also did a live demo of making a site with #agregore :P

Also, here's a recording of the talk I did at their last conference (used to be called Bloom) on #p2p and #decentralized web apps.

I get into the weeds on #IPFS and #BitTorrent and how this technology works under the hood.

Looks like https://www.futureproof.so/ is doing another round of talks!

It's a conference made by and for #women, #NonBinary, #trans, and #genderqueer technologists focusing on decentralized technology.

I'm going to be doing a talk on Holistic #LocalFirst Software and how it relates to my work and being #queer.

Do sign up for their newsletter to get more info once the conference is announced!

My pal BeanBoy put together a theme builder for @agregore and I tried cranking out a groady theme using it.

What's cool is that once you save the `.agregorerc` file to your home folder and restart, it'll get applied to all websites that import agregore://theme/style.css` for their default styling. For example: The https://agregore.mauve.moe website!

Honestly the only reason I care about #p2p and #localfirst #web stuff is because it gives us practical tools to have nothing but what we have in our pocket and still be able to work with information technology and collaborate with others.

Everything else is just fun extras. :P

It pains me that communities need to either pay a corpo to own all of their shit or deal with complex nerd shit like the cloud to host their own (which is still paying some corpo eventually)

I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

K, fuck it, gonna update my mastodon instance so I can get the fancy "follow tags" features on this thing. If you never hear from me again it's cause I messed something up. 🤪
