starting the ASO (anarchist standards organization). it’s the same as ISO but all freely available and also purely by coincidence our standards all end up the same as theirs

would it be unethical to tell your robot girlfriend to sudo something

i maintain that the biggest revolution in how social media changed how we saw the world was finally dispelling any doubts that people with money and power are mostly complete morons

(this is also why, despite using plex which cannot parse them, i make nfo files and local images for ALL my movies and tv shows-- i don't trust plex to stick around, and when it does go away, i don't want all that work to go to waste)

@wxcafe the dolls are fightinggg

@feld its clearly a thing a lot of websites have implemented privately... i hope this takes off bc i'd love to be able to just have all my languages in text files and move them around from whatever frontend i decde to go to

a friend shared this and it looks cool? i love markup languages for things instead of apps... https://cooklang.org/

i dont think the world was better or worse before the internet so much as the internet gave us all a brief glimpse of a world without the conventional logics of capital before capital was able to catch up

i can't believe we built a society that allows elf on the shelf to continue existing

love the little ui element plexamp has here in context of classical music... like shit you're right this symphony IS fire

i see so many ppl in seattle wearing molle tactical backpacks without any molle accesories on them and im like damn... you aren't even using half that thing

@ducksauz yeah, i actually asked a friend with more car knowledge than me whether there was some sort of design need that made them so blocky-- its such a consistent trend and i don't like it. oh well, not like im buying a car anytime soon anyway, lol

@feld needs a few tweaks to make it cuter, but yeah basically!

a friend and i were just talking about how much we want an electric car company to just start using toriyama vehicle designs as design docs https://mastodon.art/@andres_sanchis/114461924017043615

the context was how ugly i find most electric truck designs (rivian is... not my fave) and how much i want one of these

@feld we need some lateral progress anyway-- reducing e-waste and figuring out how to do more with less are just as valuable forms of progress and far more important right now than just straight tech specs upgrades

i hope if tariffs start fucking up electronics it sharply reduces graphics inflation. i mean i doubt it will but it sucks feeling like you have to replace shit every five years unless you want to feel the gap grow wider between u and everyone else

it's sad, as i watch the infrastructure of the internet crumble, become enclosed, or actively destroyed by capital, to think of what we've lost.

but i also feel lucky to have been able to live during the brief window of history where it was all possible, where i could watch ppl from all over the world communicate and work together and connect to each other, at least

a friend asked why i don't prompt ppl for money when i offer them a community resource i've spent lots of time and money developing and maintaining, and told her i was doing it bc im working towards creating the world i wanted to live in

so is the featured tab just bc ppl got irritated that some users have like 15 pinned posts lol
