PGLite is probs one of my fave concepts since I found out about it last week. It makes testing so much easier for code that's tightly coupled with postgres SQL being available
This article is great and touches on why I focus on bridging to existing protocols in @agregore instead of creating yet another one and why I' so happy with the work we did on @distributedpress
We should strengthen and reuse existing protocols more and get more "content" available and discoverable.
Anyone got #book recommendations? I'm into hard scifi and stuff with transhumanist themes. The weirder the better.

What really bothers me is that most of the crises and difficulties people suffer from are entirely artificial and preventable. We literally have enough food, water, building materials, energy, and other essential goods in the world that everyone would be able to live a life of dignity.
But like, by sheer political choice that is just not the case. And that like, actually makes me quite upset.

"The cost of living crisis" is entirely artificial. It's not like there isn't enough food or housing to go around. It is primarily a distribution problem.
Like, do you ever think about this too? Doesn't it upset you as well?
Pre mass media writing is so interesting. The visuals and the thought structures are untainted by hollywood
Ultimately, someone has their hand on the plug. The question is how many people, and how far do you need to go to replace whatever function pulling the plug destroyed.
We can't have meaningful decentralization when identity is tightly coupled with a specific always online server accessible on the internet. Even if you self host (which most won't).
I mean this in the most loving way possible but Linus Tech Tips reminds me of a World of Warcraft goblin.

I've been using my local LLM more for formatting text that I used to do manually or via besoke AST transform scripts. Stuff like "convert this jsdoc to typebox" or "take that function but add conditions for these other variable names". It's handy to save me time while I work on other stuff.
What I'm realizing is that I like typed languages, I'm just not a fan of half measures slapped on top of untyped languages.
Spent some time yapping with my musician friends about the holy wars programmers have around tabs vs spaces and where to put indentation.
Seems every community has a similar set of very divisive but benign sounding ongoing "debates".
Any #infosec folks with experience in hardening windows? Someone wants to automate it. Send me a DM if interested.
Love been in spaces where I'm not the most visibly queer person in the room 🥰

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"
As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam )
Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

It's always "School doesn't prepare us for Life well enough, we should be learning to do taxes instead of interpreting poetry" and never "Adult Life should be more poetry and less absurd and complicated tax rules"
How many engineers does it take to support EventEmitter in TypeScript out of the box? Trick question! Over a decade and millions of dollars is not enough to have support for the most common class in Node.js 🫠
