Slop dev is just annoying. These things are so much less capable than advertised. It seems okay for creating something unoriginal but they really can't "understand" something beyond the basics.

It'd also be nice if there were some clear specs on how to implement Resources 😅

Reticulum is cool but there's really not enough specs for implementations to follow and the code is hard to follow. It'd be nice if there were fixtures for the various packet types to test against. 🤷

TIL that `ctrl+d` will select the current word your text caret is over. Building up more muscle memory for operating on code at the AST/Token level instead of just text buffers.

The LabLab Camp team is happy to invite participation to the 2026 camp building on the CoolabCamp + DWebCamp held in Ubatuba, Brazil, in 2023. It will take place from March 12 to 15, 2026 at the ecological farm in the Nova Esperança Settlement of the Landless Movement in São José dos Campos – São Paulo, Brazil.

It will be a meeting between farmers from the Paraíba Valley and a network of people who think about and practice solidarity-based techno-science with a focus on agro-ecology, community technology and open science. There will be exchange on decentralized networks, food sovereignty and experimentation in practices and technologies geared towards autonomy in agro-ecological family farming.

Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.

If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.

Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.

It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.

A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.

The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.

If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

@mauve @Forbearance I reckon there are 3 categories of YouTube uploaders with different needs:
1. If you just want to publish videos, PeerTube is great!
2. Some people believe they need YouTube for the reach, so that their videos will be discovered by their potential audience; this is something the Fediverse could fulfil in future (or perhaps already, depending on your expected scale).
3. But the hard problem is that some people depend on Google's advert money to make a living. (If Liberapay or Patreon would be enough, you're in category 2 instead and we're back in the race.)

@mauve can we seize and redistribute YouTube specifically

Instead of profit, society should be optimized for "the love of the game"

Made a rly big soup for dinner and got to use the new bowl my mom bought from a local indigenous artist. 🥰

I hate advertisements so much. Whenever a 10 min video is interrupted by a "sponsor segment" it just makes me hate whatever product more and often leads me to just block the channel. I pay for the premium ad free stuff and yet I still can't escape the ads

Got mauled by a vicious beast today. My cat got spooked while I was holding her up to look at my gecko

Bring back social networks and ditch the "media"

I'm not going to waste my precious human time reading something that you didn't spend your precious human time writing.

I really don't care about the well-aligned randomly stolen words of a text-generating machine you are using for cheap marketing.
