wow this #pixelart editor rocks! heres my test gif Is there a version of the idiom ‘You can’t see the forest for the trees’ that’s more directly related to technology/software?  The Common Desktop Environment https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv I just discovered this show from the 80s called “the secret life of machines” and it’s absolutely marvelous. I highly recommend anyone here go watch it. The person who made it has now uploaded many of the old episodes and added a updated addendum at the end. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaR0lZhSyAPLuoSbMA29s3Ry8ZUvKff3 was reading about usenet and the history of email systems and found this usenet simulator that has a ton of weird old content from who knows when that you can explore in its original form a cute little tour of a #hypercard stack called Zaum Gadget my father @memexikon made the year after I was born https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acqDWEFZttY&feature=emb_title also the stack was uploaded here https://www.macintoshrepository.org/19165-zaum-gadget Fuck so the admin of kf posted a video on YouTube urging people to join the fediverse 6 hours ago that already has 3.5k views and is getting shared a ton on Twitter. We might need to get out shit together and get ready for an influx of folks we may not like Excited to see #Matrix unveil #Cerulean! I hope it puts some pressure on #ActivityPub to implement e2e...  @liaizon the hard part about e2e for social media is that there's a key you have to store reliably somewhere on the client and use to encrypt and decrypt things. Okay if the client is an app, major PITA if it's a browser. Basically you aren't doing any of it if your website isn't a single-page app. But then people will still want privacy settings about who can view something.

"anachronistic projection of modern ideas" https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2010/08/post-2.html @liaizon This is a good lecture from the author, including the Very Angry Older Iranian archetype during the Q&A who appears at every talk on the subject. I like his book The Emergence of Iranian Nationalism, too. So for anyone who wasn't following, Google pressured a bunch of #fediverse app developers to do an impossible thing and in the end they had to delete their app off the Play Store Here is a good synopsis by @SubwayTooter  @liaizon I mean I'm only barely participating because I find online conferences kind of disorienting and difficult to pay attention to (I prefer the total immersion of an irl conference, though big blue button is a really impressive piece of software) |
