What was the most revolutionary technology ever invented?
The wheel.
Although, the shovel was groundbreaking.
Some people also considered the invention of the knife cutting edge.
Time to learn a bunch of stuff about wayland and gamescope. .😳

I have a data security shortcut
to share with you:
If sensitive users information
is not kept in the database,
it cannot be leaked in a data breach.
Do not collect
what you do not need ⛔
Delete all data
you do not need anymore
as soon as you
do not need it anymore 
It'd actually be so wild if the programming industry had settled on royalties for written code instead of fully giving up your copyright to corporations.
One of the reasons that @agregore doesn't have tabs is to reduce the amount of vertical screen realestate being taken up by them. Especially now that I'm using my GPD Win 4 with limited vertical space I find apps like Firefox leave little room for actual data. Also web apps are so addicted to extra padding and empty space all over the place TT_TT

Spiraling into control. Consumed from all sides while expanding into new dimensions.

Oof, looks like I'll need to create a new Matrix space to hold all the AI channels/discords I've been sucked into :P

Old blogpost bamp:
#BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization
https://rys.io/en/167.html
> BlueSky’s decentralization is a similar kind as with cryptocurrencies: sure, you can run your own node, but that does not give you basically any meaningful agency in the system.
> “Neutrality” and “speech” and “voice” and “protection from bans” is mentioned right there, front and center, in BlueSky’s overview and FAQ. At the same time moderation and anti-harassment features are, at best, an afterthought.
5. Kinda want to add EEGs to my loadout. Maybe for controlling a cursor in XR? Biggest question is whether there are SDKs that work on Linux. https://www.emotiv.com/insight/
A decade of monkey patching and code transformation has made information systems my plaything.
Doing evil things to code for work. 😈
Transforming ASTs to add extra fields for data provenance.
Music to get me in the mood for sign weaving:
Instead of top down or bottom up I'm more like a throw a few strands into the problem space and then traverse between them and out.

Good morning! It’s the first Tuesday in February, and so you’re all invited to look through Wikipedia’s List of common misconceptions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions) per xkcd custom.

I won't be novel in saying huge tech companies are roughly what Big Tobacco was a few decades ago.
By now the harm they cause is increasingly clear, but everyone's hooked. It's hard or impossible to quit cold-turkey, and they know it.
So they milk it as long as they can, and engage in irrelevant performative actions (Zuck apologized, but did not offer any compensation) to make it rain as long as possible.
Yeah, excuse me for not having the stomach for the hype they peddle as a distraction. 🤷♀️
My setup. 🥰 It feels more dense but it's way easier to hold in one hand than a steam deck. Also bought the GSM module so hopefully I can get a data sim into it >:)
So far I'm really enjoying my new GPD Win 4. Having a kryboard built in is really a game changer. I usually use my Rokid Max as a screen since the Win 4 is a bit small for getting much work done. I like the built in keyboard more than my Rii 8+ since it has two shift/ctrl/alt keys which makes running shortcuts easier.
Sadly desktop mode in chimera OS runs in raw wayland so the controller keybindings don't work and neither does xdotool for nerd-dictation. I'll figure it out soon enough :)
Back in business! Thankfully etke.cc managed to fix it within an hour or so of me flagging the issue :)
Whoops, looks like my Matrix instance hasn't been able to federate since last week. :x
Took me longer to notice because all my puppet bridges are still up.
Hopefully it can be fixed soon since there's a bunch of matrix channels I need access to as well. 😅
Luckily anyone inside `#:mauve.moe` channels on other instances can still chat with each other even if mine is unreachable.
Screech. The anxiety of waiting for a thing to ship and not knowing when it'll get here and whether I'll actually be able to pick it up when it arrives.
After that it'll be the stress of trying to get Linux working at all. :P
