It'd be cool if people making decentralized p2p protocols had flagship apps that were than "a chat app but only for people wanting to bother using this protocol". Most folks don't get much utility from yet another chat app and it's just the diehards that will bother joining and end up only using it to talk to each other while developer hours continue to not serve adoption at large.
Writing tests for my #veilid tunnel system. Listening to some jams to get in the right mood.

THe bioelectrict manipulation of morphology is neat for general medical stuff but I am mostly excited for all my trans friends to have more options for gender affirming body mods. Cis people too! Hopefully once all the humans get theirs I can get my extra arms and eyes grown.

@neia Someday someone will write a Rust GUI app that respects the system window and widget theming and on that day the foundations of the Earth shall shake

Bad idea:
You know how some programmable keyboards have a thing where you can press a secret key combination and they'll type some config menu into a text document?
Do the same, but for a mouse.
You just open MS Paint and select the pen tool, then press all the buttons at once.
It'll draw you its config

Stop hiding all your fucking information in discords
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
