estradiol vial container (3D model, 3D printing)
Hello there.
May be of interest to some here:

@hans Or to put it more bluntly: Element has found a solution to a problem that Element has created.
@hans "What I understand is that if Element can reliably turn a profit every year, development of Matrix (and the broader ecosystem as a result) is secure."
That is how Element frames it. In practice, this is quite far from the truth - Element's stewardship has caused a *large* amount of volunteers to burn out or bounce off. I have personally spoken to many of them.
Volunteers which would have been able to provide that ecosystem security, which Element is infamously failing to provide, with their continuous technical and stewardship failures, and the increasing closedness of what are functionally the reference implementations.
There was never a lack of volunteer interest or labour availability. The problem has always been that Element did not provide the space for it to grow, and insisted on a highly centralized development model that only works with large amounts of funding.
I've decided to go ahead with it, turns out it was really easy to get running: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/setting-up-bookstack

@ramonita FWIW the supposed manifesto that that sentence is from, does not contain any of the phrases that the various news outlets claim are contained in the manifesto. I don't know which of the two is lying, but...
@hans I'm sure they want that. But that's of no concern to the broader ecosystem, and this kind of thing is precisely what wasn't supposed to happen. They have been warned many times that their business and developmental model is unsustainable (with assistance offered), and if they insist on continuing it anyway, then I have little sympathy for the decisions that they feel they need to eventually make.
The server in question is running with workers (couldn't keep up in monolithic mode) but I do not administrate it.
Their claim is that regular Synapse will also get performance improvements, just only the ones for small instances, which might have been a credible claim if it weren't for the fact that I *am* on a small instance and it performs like shit just because I'm in a lot of rooms, which incidentally has always been the metric for "big instance" with Matrix, so y'know
lmfao, Element now has a proprietary version of Synapse that gets performance improvements, guess we plebs get stuck with the slow one

Honestly one thing I enjoy about retrotech is that it's static. I never have windows 95 autoupdate on me and suddenly there's copilot or recall.
OH: "By that definition, every video game is either tetris or chess"

This certainly is a time period.

I hope that now and forever every CEO and corporate executive, corporate board member, and Wall Streeter lives in fear of the direct consequences of their actions which harm consumers, their employees, or the public at large.
It would be just and fair.

@FirstProgenitor this is going to sound insane but I had a dream that you posted an image of a house and for some reason I boosted it and then you replied to me with “I’m legally entitled to your house now” and showed up on my doorstep

Me, being very smart and proactive: I'll write down notes about this coding idea so when I get to implementing it I can read them and remember my thought process
Me, later, reading the notes: what the fuck was I talking about, what the fuck does any of this mean

@ieure "Optimization" attempts by people who have never been within two meters of a profiler, as far as I can tell

What is with websites these days fading content in as you scroll down? It's like someone looked at an N64 game and was like, know what this ecommerce site needs, distance fog
How to tell that someone works in software security: when they evaluate software options, they don't look for the software without any security issues, but for the one whose security issues most credibly look like genuine oversights rather than negligence

Question for people who do on the ground organizing — is there a reason that so many action requests come day of or with less than 24 hrs notice?
I can’t make arrangements to attend a rally when I hear about it 2 hrs before and I often need a day or two to research and craft a message to my electeds.
It’s very stressful for me, but this happens so frequently I figure it’s purposeful. I’d just love to know why?
