Can you recommend a cheap split keyboard? I’m not sinking 300$ to discover I hate it

Pine64 has been relatively successful in coalescencing a developer community around its products. I really hope this succeeds!

Rust is more like: unless you can mathematically prove to me that this is equivalent to a nut there is no ducking way I’ll ever let you compiled this.

The dolphins probably left and their last message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop whilst whistling “The Star-Spangled Banner”, but in fact the message was this: “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.”

No one does this kind of stuff because someone asked them to do it. This is the kind of useless, insane stuff you do for the lulz, or because someone dared you.

I think that interoperation with big walled gardens is part of the reason why #activitypub exists. Furthermore, there are no technical measures to completely shut off #Threads, and the social measures are unlikely to work.

I know the risks, I’m old enough to remember #Microsoft embracing and extinguishing browsers and open documents, #Goggle defederating from #XMPP and #Facebook predatory tactics.

On the other hand, I think that federation with the big players is unstoppable. The protocol is open and there is no way to get every last instance to defederate. If people want to see the big players’ content they’ll move to an instance that federates with them. And defederating from those that connect to threads sounds like a Zealot’s suicide pact.

I think that the best way to ensure that #Meta plays fair is to create a fediverse that is as diverse, open and vibrant as possible, with plenty of open services (Lemmy, mastodon, misskey…) and commercial ones (Flipboard, tumblr…) so that threads users will feel compelled to interact and miss us if Meta stops federating or shadowbans external content.

Joke is on them, i only ever use NewPipe (or freetube on desktop)

If I wanted to get there I wouldn’t start from here.

I was listening to the Doubleclicks’ Lasers and Feelings and had a realization that it could be the counterpart to The Future Soon.

Then I went back to listen to it and had a second epiphany about the narrator of the latter being Musk :)

I had an epiphany today: Jonathan Coulton’s the future soon is a song about Elon #Musk.
