I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.
I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.
I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.
I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅
BTW my talk on #Holistic #LocalFirst software from #CausalIslands is already out on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0EcpqX2Wq0&t=9073s
This paints my vision for how #p2p #web / #dweb tech can fit in with #mesh networks with @agregore / #DistributedPress / @webrecorder to create a new foundation for resilient and cheaper technology.

here it goes:
what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.
so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?
people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.
the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.
The culprit of my pain the past three or so work days was that I needed to `pause` the stream after reading the first packet before passing it to the rest of the replication code because adding the `once('data')` listener made it drain all of its contents after the listener got executed but before the replication code could attach. Total LoC for the fix: +33 -7 🙃
3 years back, teacher acquaintance said to me,
"School district IT won't support old classroom laptops, so they are all going to e-waste. Trash! Want one?"
Brought wagon, filled it, and I took them all.
Sorted, tested, labeled, figured out which still worked, stored them.
Now, younger childbeast tells me,
"My friends are tired of Windows, and want to learn Linux. Can we set them up?"
So, loading laptops last night, getting them ready for new homes.
Go, kids, go!

@CorvidCrone @theleftistlawyer it's called a justice system, but in practice it's largely a vengeance system
I don't care that journalists or influencers find their posts get less "engagement" here.
I do care that real people, at least afaik, keep saying they have nice conversations here. I have nice conversations here.
We don't need "a federated Twitter," we need a place for humans to communicate. No other social media tech seems to place that as a priority. They pick metrics and they hire people to optimize those, and they consider that success. 🧵

This isn't fair my house can't handle this many layers of recursion. The boards are creaking. They are going to condemn it
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
