while the rest of the world tries to solve every problem with algorithms, the pirates reopen user registration and avoid malware and spam with manual approval. all for the prosocial goal of keeping the craft alive and not losing a generation of uploaders with the closure of rarbg and other public trackers.

* Make software that works on older devices, the older the better.
* Make software that will keep on working for a very long time.
* Make software that uses the least amount of total energy to achieve its results.
* Make software that also uses the least amount of network data transfer, memory and storage.
* Make software that encourages the user to use it in a frugal way.

Today's new feature focus is on media controls:
- Mute control in the carousel view when applicable.
- Play/pause/track change controls in the quick settings panel for active players.
- Same controls on the lock screen
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.
Cost of living sads
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.

Check out this cool demo from @stardustxr on what it could look like to use a #p2p #web browser in #VR or #AR !
Imagine having your browser apps / feeds as windows around you spatially.
Stardust is still in it's early stages but you should absolutely check them out!

Version 2.2.3 is out now. We've reworked the welcome page, fixed some bugs with the renderer, and improved startup times.
Check it out on your OS of choice! 🥳

Today I had a thought ( a rare occurrence 🤪 ),
you know how you do not own anything anymore?!
Everything is subscription based, and is gone as soon as you can no longer afford it?!
AI might do the same with skills, in the future people might no longer be able to do things without AI that seem simple to us now. So you will no longer be able to access your skills without money, very dystopian if you think about it. 🤔
Oh yeah I also did a live demo of making a site with #agregore :P
Accidentally deleted the original version of this thread when trying to fix a broken link. :P
@yosh this video link should work.
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHrul4jEHvs
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!

@mauve This is why I'm so interested in this stuff too.
Plus it allows our networks to be flexible in ways that don't require large scale infrastructure.
Like how many people I follow on SSB don't even have internet connections and are usually sailing on the ocean.

Techbro admins: defederation hurts users!
Users: no, we like it, that’s literally why we joined this server
Techbros: it fractures the network!
Users: yeah that’s the whole point
Techbros: but when stuff isn’t built to cater specifically to my cis white boy needs, I mistake it for oppression! I am a victim!
Users: *already defederated, talking about godzilla vs borg*
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)
