@tcurdt You are not wrong

Sometimes it feels like that 15 years ago it was more about specs, protocols, and interoperability. While nowadays we are faced with more gatekeeping and are stuck in a lot more silos. Am I wrong?

@cowtowncoder We were in similar situation a year ago. TBH, I liked the hand washing. We went back to machine, but we were MUCH better about keeping up with the dishes when hand washing.

Fun times: our Miele dishwasher inspected by a repairsguy. Found multiple leaks (unusual for 4yo), estimate parts: $800. Better: new Bosch would take 6 months (supply-chain). Even crappy GE or whatever from HD, early January. Will be fun Holiday Season handwashing F#$*(#$ dishes

Excalidraw ( @excalidraw ) really is VERY good. Has replaced Omnigraffle for all my drawing needs.

@cowtowncoder fosstodon.org - but if it sticks, I'll probably wind up migrating to something I control.

Ok, informal Poll for anyone who actually sees this message: which Mastodon server did you choose? Asking for a friend :)

@osi @bluxte @tcurdt @urbit Any sane impl would be hugely multi-tenant in reality, but the processing and data is owned/controlled by the end user, not the app author, and from their perspective they are only tenant.

@osi @bluxte @tcurdt @urbit Yeah, n3xt was going down this path too, in some iterations. I think go-to-market as "user-owned (and uninstallable) backend for app" in existing app store is most viable path. Logically, a single-tenant Parse or Firebase attached to an install model you understand.

@tcurdt @bluxte I think we are years out from it, and that "it" will appear from apple/google making it a personal phone backend where you can install continuous processing stuff.

@tcurdt @bluxte Brings me back to the idea of "personal infra" -- I don't want to make my laptop the hub of that identity, but I don't want to trust random clever-name admins either. Want AWS analogue of my phone, with similar easy install/run model for apps.

1) Safari keeps a quite long history 2) I apparently haven’t gone to many things starting with “home” in a while #ning

@tcurdt Implement xmpp server, then stop federating with other xmpp servers, then stop allowing xmpp

@brianm ...just so I don't misinterpret: what's "the way of gtalk"?

@tcurdt There is no trusted host yet, and you need to understand too much to even realize it, so far. The question will be, if a trusted host gets meaningful mindshare, will it federate? I suspect it’ll want to go the way of gtalk.

@brianm True. But what does that even mean in the fediverse? I guess the best thing to do is to use an alias on the own domain, maybe run an instance just for the family. I'd love to see a decentralised Twitter alternative succeed but the current version feels to have little upsides.

@tcurdt If it takes off, owning your identity will matter.

@brianm The OP claimed he joined before that was the headline. "I joined that server more than 5 years ago when it was a lot more tech oriented." I have no idea of what he wrote is wrong or true. 🤷‍♂️ To me it still shows a fundamental problem. It's just not the new hope as is.

@tug The bananas are really throwing me off

Can you guess the cocktail I’m going to make tonight?

Rust `tracing` crate seems to be the new logging hotness, and it seems nice, but is there any convenient way to get `env_logger` type functionality for it?

@rit Lock picking practice!

@tcurdt @janl A decent index and browser for content from a major digital content merchant which doesn't provide such a tool or the APIs to build one. Involves user-interactive scraping of said digital content metadata (not the content itself), and Tauri made that easy.

@brianm @janl Can your reveal for what you are using it? Just curious :) The getting started was - pretty impressive. From zero to a dmg in a few seconds.

@tcurdt @janl Am using Tauri right now. So far works great, but I have not asked it for anything truly weird yet.

@brianm @janl I prefer svelte and solid - but the react ecosystem is hard to beat. AppKit - well, I still prefer native apps and I do like Swift. But pleasant... let's say Apple seems to have a different focus. For desktop projects I am tempted to give tauri.app a try.
