Finally had the energy/time to adjust my monitor to a more ergonomic position. Future me is gonna love how clear its desk is now 🥰

I feel like most in-house software is tacitly released under the Hot Potato Licence.
I think I'm slowly learning how to think in Rust. Glad I get to learn it by doing cool shit with Veilid.

DWeb Camp begins TODAY and the schedule is up!
There are almost 400 sessions, including workshops, talks, panels, performances and classes.
Campers — make sure to download the Sched app and build your schedule for the week.
See ya in the redwoods! 🌲✨
Systems which use neural nets to learn from user actions should expose physical buttons for reinforcement. Like if I'm teaching my machine a new gesture I'd want to tell it when it's doing a good job or messing up according to my personal criteria.

While liberating a Pixel phone I came across this poetry, and on the day Google is convicted of illegal market monopoly in the US: the power button itself, the interface to switching off a device one supposedly owns, is intercepted by a Google 'AI' product. The device can not be powered off, even using buttons as described, without first downloading software from the company.
This domineering and invasive interface culture has to be stopped.
Finally purging some social connections now that they're inexcusably unsafe. This year has been an exercise in restructuring my connectome and I'm excited to see what new shapes it will bring.
😭 The #rust borrow checker is no pushover. Brain turning to goo trying to figure out how to tie the lifetime of this channel sender to an Arc of a callback closure.
Neat, rediscovered this talk I did on "Holistic Local-First Software" last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqUzhnDd1-E

you want to start the thing, a studio a label a lab? that's great! everyone in your life is going to tell you to establish hierarchies and engage with capital, let's talk about why you might not want to do that, why you might want to start a cooperative instead, the trade-offs there. because that's not a conversation you're going to have anywhere else unfortunately

take that techbros would hate
accessibility includes supporting old hardware, nobody has the same economical status as you to afford a new machine

At the rate I'm going by 2030 I'm going to be using lynx as my main browser just so I don't have to see AI imagery
Thankfully it didn't die! I just needed to do a hard reset with a paperclip for some reason. 😅
Boy this summer was a scorcher!
Wish I had more computer touching energy for building vr environments
My pooter ran out of battery or something while it was in its case lastnight. I hope it didn't overheat again 😰😰😰 won't be able to check until I charge it later tonight

I shared this one on other social media platforms, and some tech bros are angry 😡 lol. I never understood why some people worship big corporations so much 🤔 It is not just that these companies are also firing people left and right despite making huge fortunes. They only care about meeting shareholders' bottom lines; everyone else is just a casualty. So much for one big happy family 😵
Jeeze I need to curate a second less stressful fedi feed.
i played some sonic adventure on it and it calmed down and got docked + shut down for the weekend. I hope it had sweet dreams. ☺️
My poor computer. I put it in sleep mode and carried it around. I have no auto sleep so when it woke up in thr case is started overheating and probably has for hours now. 😭 finally got it out and it's slowly winding down its CPU fans.
