Zrobilem sernik z tzw. okary sojowej czyli pulpy powstalej po produkcji mleka sojowego.
I jest to zajebiscie dobre, dalbym kazdemu fediwersumowiczowi po kawalku :D

Got my ! I thought I would be using either whatever it came installed with, or as recommended by a couple people here. Unfortunately it turned out that is doing quite a lot of things in ways that I like, and works much smoother than at least the default. I tried it before I even got to Mobian, because I did not expect to stick with it — the docs claimed many things either don't work or have very strange defaults. It seems they are slightly outdated though, as everything works pretty brilliantly.

The only thing I desperately need to use it as a main phone is a graphical client with E2EE support. It seems is still my best bet, but I still haven't gotten it to build to help with development...

this is amazing: This April, TRANSFER and left.gallery collaborated on an online group show called “Pieces of Me,” which consisted of “tokens” representing the practice of over fifty leading digital artists. Collectors could buy these works using a regular contract and either fiat or crypto (NFT optional), with the artists receiving 70 percent of the sale. The certificate for each work stipulated that the artist would additionally receive a 50 percent royalty upon every resale—an amount far exceeding the tenuous 10 percent royalty granted by most NFT platforms. The collectors who chose to “mint” their purchase also had to pay the fees to mint one artist’s proof. But more than simply maximizing individual artists’ incomes, the show upended art-world economies by redistributing 30 percent of every sale to all the artists in the show, as well as to the art workers who made it possible. Implicitly, “Pieces of Me” asked whether it is possible to treat the field of digital art as itself a “distributed network” that redistributes resources instead of concentrating them.

"Installation: we recommend that you use Docker."

what I'm supposed to see: "hey, it's a simple one-liner! Such clean install, much wow."

what I actually see: "we couldn't figure out how to install this thing on anything but our own machine, but hey, here is a well-compressed image of our entire disk, use this instead so that we can stop trying"

@seachaint YES! THANK YOU!

Wow, was I off-mark there!

It's mildly antisocial, but the fact that it even works points to a broken system somewhere anyway, so I'm not really condemning it. I just appreciate the layers of irony.

It's also definitely much less of a problem than anti-vaccine movements, so yeah...

birbsite bullshit, cancel culture 

And it's just.. Yeah, if you're being bullied you need to stand up for yourself. But if you're getting pushback or become Main Character of Twitter for a day or two, especially if you have a following already, the best way really _is_ to "just ignore it".

That can mean giving your account to a friend to deal with torrents of abuse for you, or Logging Off for a while, but the point is that you shouldn't land in "it should be illegal to @ me".

Well, I'm in ZH and disgustingly healthy, so I don't expect to get mine any time soon.

I remember hearing stories about intercantonal vaccine tourism from Zürich to Schwyz, so I was surprized by the claim about Switzerland as a whole, good to know that the surprize was justified. The stories have a delicious multi-layered irony to them – stealing better functioning public services funded by the federal government from a lower taxes canton.

@pettter
Wait, Switzerland did? Aren't vaccinations organized by Cantons?

Nice article about Swiss queer hacker Tillie Kottman (Verkada Hack), that is pointing out the central problems - german only

Questions that come to mind – is most programming work labour without land? Is, somewhat paradoxically, the Could the Land in this case? Am I trying to strech the theory too much?

@mark@metalhead.club A PiPhone might bee slightly *too* hacky for me. :D Definitely a cool project though.

@mark@metalhead.club I have considered a Fairphone, but it doesn't really support running non-Android systems, so that's a huge downside for me.

Worth noting – modularity is not the same as hackability, even though both help with handling of faults. PinePhone is, as far as I can tell, note _very_ modular, any modularity has to be hacked in. Fairphone is not hackable at all (at least by design, you can obviously hack with it).

It's also quite a bit more expensive. <_<

I keep thinking of Robert Ashley's motto for my old music department, "If you're not weird, get out" and how to make a more nurturing, undergraduate-focused version of that.

I don't want normies to get out. I want them to de-normify at least temporarily: Be weird. Have fun. Do something absurd with your whole heart. Make something beautiful out of rubbish. Make something ugly our of pure tones. Find the place where your system starts to fail and sit there for a bit.
