@kettu you don't need resources to rewild land, you just need to harvest rainwater and it will rewild itself.

So Jacky is talking about the limits of the microblogging and I had a terrifying realization...

You know how you're not supposed to read the comments?

Microblogs are nothing but the comments.

Apparently wanting to avoid non-deterministic programming tools with an unpredictable error rate is being a luddite

At this rate, next week we’ll be hearing from “AI” fans that wanting to avoid bugs is elitist and gatekeeping

not helping, but ... 

@wizard

I have heard compelling arguments in favour of living on a farm farming in natural ways as the easiest constructive thing you can do with your life. The arguments are not in English, so I can't cast them on you.

A "hybrid" model is what, say
@ joeyh@hachyderm.io
or
@ mike@macgirvin.com
seem to do; maybe you already are, or are close to being, accomplished enough to do that yourself.

Gmail dominates because you get "Free Email" when you buy a phone. You can't provide "Free Email" to 1.5 Billion users, they obviously get paid.

It is not difficult to operate a secure email service, it is difficult to compete with those that have million dollar advertising budgets.

@yesfreenet #Telegram mini-apps are real webapps, you can't even play them offline, they just open a 3rd party website in an embbed webview, the mini-apps in ArcaneChat&DeltaChat are real in-chat p2p app attachments without any 3rd party involved or spying! and hence can be used even offline! ex. playing while bored in bad public connectivity and your scores will be synchronized with the other groups members when you come back online! 🤯

Once something is lost and moves out of living memory it’s easy to not miss it anymore. To not value it anymore, to accept it as “good” and “settled” and “normal”.

There was a time when roads were for people to walk on.

There was a time when most phones had headphone jacks, and most headphones didn’t require constant recharging.

New does not mean better, gone does not mean bad. Nor is nostalgia an accurate map to chase.

Reality is continuously made, unmade, and remade.

@gerrymcgovern "wow...it's really something that a machine can use so many resources and give such useless outputs! truly we live in the future!"

@gerrymcgovern didn't they make a movie about this? Mining under sacted trees on a planet with flying mountains?

that theory doesn't add up, I'm afraid. see how people related and reacted to the invasion of Ukraine, or with the attack to Israel, even though they were about just as far away. reporting and framing, not distance, are key

@michcampbell take a look at TiddlyWiki (tiddlywiki.com/)... it's hugely customisable and has an enthusiastic and extremely helpful community.

@drewdevault I can’t wait until the day when office buildings are converted into homes because of the economics of WFH

@drewdevault Return To Office (yeah, took me until this one to get meaning of RTO… TLAs bad)

@sundogplanets so they are enchancing market for their own products? Sending more labs/telescopes into space -> outside of musks shit -> using musks rockets?

@v_raton
"computer" types should just have their own websites with profiles, right? Only some do. I don't, so asking: why don't we?

I suspect sort of works for HR types, and that compels everybody else to be on it.
