@icedquinn I think the problem with email is that its currently not decentralized enough, in part thanks to anti-spam efforts. So you have the big parties like gmail, live, gmx etc etc that whitelist each other, but everything self-hosted will have a hard time not ending up in some kind of spambox.

I am still a fan of XMPP, at least, the idea of XMPP. Because it was a product of the time and relied heavily on XML. And if there is one thing I hate besides Java, its XML.

@icedquinn was fun watching/listening to waking up and getting dressed for work while you ranted about corpos. 😅

@icedquinn I am currently fielding https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ and I am using... *looks at keyboard* all the keys during different gaming sessions.

@icedquinn I see. Tempting. I've concluded that I just need a little bit more buttons. 😅

@icedquinn Nice keyboard. What are you fielding?

@icedquinn That is not a bad way to go out...

Writing a videogame is doable. Should be fun. But going by Itch.io and Steam metrics this is a saturated market. And the product becoming an overnight indie hit like Minecraft or Palworld isn't going to happen to the type of game I am able to write.

@freemo I may be too Dutch to tip at all, ever. I dunno.

Back in Berlin we tipped 1 euro cent because of the terrible service and food we received.

In Eastern Europe I've seen bars and restaurants charging a 10% service fee, which usually is not allowed by law, and is a tip by another name.

@rchrd @freemo The deliverers here usually drive company branded ebikes, branded cars, if they aren't using rental bikes. But this is something for "big" city for Dutch standards. So I don't think their costs for wear and tear applies here.

@freemo C'est la vie.

Hope you are having fun with your new company. 🙂

@freemo Soldering is not really the issue. Designing the board is. =)

@freemo If you are in Hollandistan in April. ClackyCon is a keyboard conference in Den Haag around that time. Should be interesting.

@freemo I will keep you posted. Hardware fabrication is new to me, so maybe this is nice new hobby to throw money against. ;-)

A recent post made by @freemo and his split keyboard (https://mastodon.nl/@freemo@qoto.org/111377477128629607) triggered me to look into Split mechanical keyboards. I am currently fielding the *takes a deep breath* Kinesis Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB (https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/), and it is great for me. Near perfect. But not perfect yet.

So I am wondering if I should work as-is with it, or start a new fun hobby of creating new keyboards that fit my specifications. 🤔

@icedquinn I feel your pain. 😔

@icedquinn @s8n
Nothing disruptive, but nice to see. :-)

@icedquinn Blame is like one of these high-priority features you implement as an ass-covering method. Just why isn't it in there yet?

Another fedi iceberg, this time Pleroma specifically. ( Honestly stolen from @p )

@icedquinn
Its not warmongering if you are defending allies ;-). You just now that the corpos will be technically correct when they found a way around the wording in the law... 😒
