Pinned post

I'm trying to improve my Japanese by replying to everyone whose posts I understand with what I hope is both a grammatically correct and coherent reply. If you got one and can read this, please forgive me if they're neither. I don't mean to bother you or anything. My Japanese is just that terrible.

I repost this awesomeness because I'm ten years old, mentally-wise.

Hi fedi :neocat:

Am looking for a fitness watch type device that works without proprietary software. That means no Google Play Service, no proprietary app that only runs on Windows.

A free app hosted on F-Droid or something similarly free that runs on Linux would be ideal, but if the watch itself has like a button to start/stop a workout and then it displays heart rate stats for that time period that would be fine too.

(If it can also vibrate as an alarm clock that'd be great but that's definitely in the "bonus feature" category, and not a hard requirement)

Why do some people have such ridiculous takes on things? Billionaires are arseholes. Why? Could it be, I don't know, capitalism? Money? Greed? No, it must be technology that brings out “the very, very worst in humans”. I mean, everybody knows that Dennis Ritchie, Don Knuth, Alan McKay, Don Woods or Whitfield Diffie (look them up) are LITERALLY HITLER.

Literally the argument users have been making for decades now: nothing moves in your system without your explicit knowledge and consent, and every configuration is stored in easily editable text files. We detest opacity.

Anybody up for playtesting an Interactive Fiction Competition entry? I realise it's getting close to the deadline, but it's not a long game and it would be great to have just one more person take a look at it!

Guy Debord: "The first stage of the economy's domination of social life brought about an evident degradation of being into having––human fulfillment was no longer equated with what one was, but what one possessed.

The reigning economic system is a vicious circle of isolation. Its technologies are based on isolation, and they contribute to that same isolation. From automobiles to television, the goods that the spectacular system chooses to produce also serve it as weapons for constantly reinforcing the conditions that engender "lonely crowds."

The spectacle was born from the world's loss of unity, and the immense expansion of the modern spectacle reveals the enormity of this loss."

is there a self-hosted movie watchlist?

I'd like to take all the recommendations for #kaiaskinoklub you give me and put them into one list that I can manipulate (move movies up and down the list like a stack), add new items, and mark ones as watched?

Would you get into self-hosting if I managed your server for you?

I am willing to offer fully managed FreedomBox servers if there is enough interest. I want commitment from at least 10 people to kick-start the service.

Here is my pitch:
njoseph.me/managed-freedombox.

If you are interested in this, please DM me your email address. I will send an update once I am ready.

Please note that this service is an idea right now. I can set it up in a few days.

Please boost!
