Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Oh btw you can actually download any file from Google Maps in full resolution (and with original file name 💀) easily
All you need to do is to click "Report a problem" in the dropdown menu next to image's author
File loaded on the page that will open is a raw uploaded JPEG with just the metadata stripped lol
dreams (2)
For those curious: yes, cohesive dreams are normal and common for me. But usually it's like being in an exciting movie, not an unscheduled disaster drill 😐

“the trans broadcast protocol”
i thought we called it activitypub but alright
dreams, unpleasant
Apparently my brain decided to do an unannounced simulation and review of "having a stroke" in my dreams, and concluded that my response time and procedure are insufficient for rescue.
Gee, thanks brain.
@russellmcormond Hmm. Is this available anywhere that isn't Amazon? I'm having trouble finding it...
Just wrote and published a new thing: "Cleaning sticky soda spills in a mechanical keyboard without disassembly"

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.

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.
