@KolokokoBird this had happened in California as well, I read
@strypey they have it backwards - we should see if modern science can augment traditional holistic thought and practice.

More sanity from my home country: Māori tribal leaders & their advisers call for data sovereignty, to take back control of what is theirs. Cited is "an intergenerational approach to data, as a taonga (treasure)"
Self-hosting is included as a strategy, servers at home & on the marae (meeting house).
This initiative can be seen as a form of infrastructural de-colonisation, reclaiming what has been lost to the digital imperialism of AWS, Microsoft & other 'cloud' giants

PS: Now it makes much more sense that I had to go through many #ActivityPub implementations (e.g.: honk, gotosocial, ktistec, epicyon) before I found something with reasonable interoperability. Until I did, I thought ActivityPub was ActivityPub.

@dctrud@mastodon.randomroad.social good points.
I have wondered if you could provide a public service with a backend composed of volunteers' home computers composed over a VPN. All computers are partial replicas but with enough full replication when combined with peers, even sharing load they can serve with only the data they have.
This would let the cheapest compute hosting to be used to host the public endpoint (hosting bandwidth use might be double, to route from VPN nodes to clients).

We need a better way to distinguish decentralized “host your own” or local-first software, from crypto-grifterware.

@strypey @nextcloud currently we recommend to rather install directly our APK https://download.delta.chat/android/deltachat-gplay-release-1.32.0.apk rather than fdroid. Using the one year old 1.22 currently on fdroid is asking for many troubles and running into bugs already fixed. We hope fdroid publishes the newer versions soon.

Start a blog. Don't amplify stuff you disagree with. Mute stuff that bugs you. Focus; veer occasionally. Add context to links. Consider waiting a day after writing something before posting it. Write for yourself first. Expect to not know what you have to say until you've written.

"it might be a bit heavy on slower devices" ah yes, the permacomputing VM, where this would have easily been avoidable, but understanding anything about language implementations would go against the aesthetic
@strypey very, very well put.

"Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality ... Life is not suffering; it’s just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind’s attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens."

@requiem epicyon.net ?
@maxc there is SMIL, and the ComPhone app for creating narratives as SMIL or video
@jplebreton
@scanlime @victoria there is the #4opens criteria for evaluating software or services https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki

@requiem Focusing on autonomy above all else eventually would lead to a situation where the power structure is completely divergent with my values, and if the point of having said values (politics, ethics, norms) is to reduce human suffering and make the world a better place, autonomy-above-all feels ultimately like a retreat from my own humanity into isolation and self-marginalisation.
@kensanata I thought you could re-compile as a WSL binary? @aperezdc
@nodefunallowed@mas.to just for understanding, why do you see a potential future of M+N lines of code all in C being better than M lines of C + N lines of Zig? Zig offers a nice implementation plan to gradually replace C with more optimizable Zig, since it can compile C too.
@turion not an Erlang programmer here, but it sounds like you programmed in Erlang like you would in other languages.
"Let it crash" supports discovering a solution as you program, and you can roll out a partial solution wrapped in a user-friendly error-handler.
On types, don't variadic functions dispatching on tagged data get you the same effect?
@neauoire the blog is preaching to the deaf when it asks corporates to do that. it also ignores Squeak/Etoys/Scratch for which apparently images are available for rpi.
