@oliphant@oliphant.social something to consider is that part of the fediverse has defederated from hachyderm for their position on corporate accounts social.pixie.town/users/joepie

they've (understandably) closed registrations for now, but just followed a bunch of cool-looking people from their profile directory!

oh hell yeah right after posting this I discovered front-end.social which seems like a really cool instance :D

i wonder if the disdain for stuff like frontend as "not real programming" etc just harkens back to [contempt culture](blog.aurynn.com/2015/12/16-con), or what other factors are involved

@dragon to start a revolution you'll have to pull 3 hammer and sickles from our totally not rigged lootbox system first

oh you built an entire computer out of discrete logic? I made a usable user interface

@kim right, I do still have an old unused pi zero w too, so could set up one each

@kim i wouldn't mind hosting one here and giving you access?

i wonder how much Pixie Pages is going to struggle with all the url previewing lol, seems okay so far but the (rather verbose) logs are going ham

it's a long, probably rambly read, and i'd love to answer questions if you have any :)

Just published my article/devlog about FediFox Shield, my project for a nicer public Mastodon frontend

It goes deep into some technical details I had lots of fun implementing, but also explains the overall motivation, and next steps for the project

So as this year draws to a close, and in the context of my returning to the fedi back in April, I realize how much I want to build tools for this space.

I like the convos about the future of how we all internet together, and I think we're so close to finding a good sweet spot that is not dependent on anything but us to make and support what we need. It's so close.

This is why I will work on getting funding for my projects to the point where I can work on them full-time. So much meaningful work in the fedi can result in a complete shift in how we think about social media. That's what I want to contribute.

Of course, until then, I have to make ends meet, so I'll still be looking for work. Ideally, I'm looking for a part-time web and graphic design or web development to split my time with Fipamo and The Bad Space.

I'm not opposed to full-time work in the product management area as long as it is remote and there's an understanding I'm putting time into my projects as well.

For an overview of all of the stuff I do, go here ->

2023 is the year I want to make a big push to get better tools out there and explore ways we can interact safely with each other. It will take some work to get there, but now is the time.

This next year can be an even bigger leap forward.

constitution saving throw, US national anthem starts playing

subtoot i guess 

i think xenia (the linux fox) wouldn't roast someone for using a mac. she's very kind and patient and helps people get started with linux if they're interested without being judgemental. i think painting her as basically the same as yr classic linuxbro obnoxious foss guy(tm) is Incorrect

@researchfairy I was literally just writing a reply with that comparison :")

I feel like Mastodon could do much better tracking of things you've read in general, like only showing (or highlighting) new replies in threads you're revisiting
