@alcinnz
interesting.

i am quite happy when i encounter JS, that said - vanillaJS, not typescript, not one of the many in need for transpilation dialects and templating framework languages, but raw vanilla JS.

what do you prefer instead? 🙂

@alcinnz you might not need javascript. who needs anything, but why not embrqce javascript? 🙂

@bhaugen
I am german and my friends dad has had a copy of "Das Kapital". i have read many excerpts and summary and looked up stuff and skimmed through it, but havent read it in its entirety cover to cover. why? 🙂

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

The issue is not just that the capitalist class has all the money, which is true. They have also the money printers.

So IF we start successful unions or worker coops or mutual aid networks or all of it and create in alternative ways - as soon as that becomes **actually** threatening, they will use their money printer to print as much as is needed to pay insane salaries to folks who help capitalists. They will pay enormous amounts to campaign against

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

They will create companies with fake stories that pretend to be just as "alternative" as the real unions, worker coops, mutual aid networks, etc...

They will offer the same products and services **at any loss** to prevent people from buying from the new real alternative so they can starve those alternatives... and so on.

If capitalists can print money, there is no way to win, but once that privilege is gone, you can finally outcompete them

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

I'm not saying bitcoin **is the solution**. It is far from it. I perceive it as a first step to have a currency that is NOT controlled by the capitalists and where everyone is the same - no special class of printer people.

And then we STILL need all the mutual aid, worker coops, etc... to replace the crap capitalist economy we currently have, but every inch won cant be undone just by printing money, so capitalists will lose at some point then :-)

@jlepawsky @pluralistic

So MMT says governments and banks print to enrich the rich folks.

the billionaires like musk and bezos, but also the corrupt multimillionaire politicians and their lobbyost friends.

That causes inflation for all of us so we cant pay for houses and barely groceries and rent.

When there is too much noney in circulation, they tax us, taking it from everyone.

MMT sounds like justifying a scam to me 🤔

wasnt it taxes were meant to pay for stuff?

@bhaugen @strypey

she is the coolest 😁

the last few nappies where clean. every time we change nappies we hold her over a potty and now she keeps everything until she is abovw the pottyn so nappy stays quite dry most of the times now .... even though she is only 12 weeks.

wasnt planned, but i guess offering her the potty consistently and she knowing that it gets uncomfortable in her nappy otherwise, she seemed to have figured out this strategy 😂

@bhaugen @strypey

we will see. for now the baby doesnt need much.
food is always with us.
nappies can be bought anywhere.
we got a mobile changing mat from osprey...
we got a carrier/sling to "wear" the baby on our body ...what else do you need?

our little girl is just ~12 weeks old, so eh... i guess the rest has to be figured out when we get there 🙂

I am so excited about the latest prototype of this wearable split keyboard 😁

Here is a little update

This is the hand attachement

And here is the wearable keyboard you attach to it

@strypey

ha 🙂
yay. i put you on the list.
As soon as it is done.
It might take a few more month before becoming really ready, but will ping you 😁

...also, i got a baby some weeks ago, so that might slow down progress a bit more, but still, i am eager to get it done. With the baby it is hard to work on a laptop, but having this keyboard and AR glasses woyld make it easier again 😊

@strypey

I am a full time nomad and have no real home and if you therefor cant invest into a big screen and comfy office chair, because you keep moving, and especially if you love the outdoors, then ideally you have a solution that finally enables me to stop exercising my profession in a sedentary health destroying style, life could finally be great.

Its a shame it already takes 8 years since i started. Luckily mobile compute and even AR glasses got a lot better since then as well 😃

@rauschma bluesky is broken by design. it only purpose is to subvert the fediverse. to sell a narrative and dont delive it so you can later capture and monetize.

bluesky will enshittify and is a lesson to those who are still to naive despite the obvious facts.

some ppl only learn when life teaches lessons, but we can spread the news so some can wake up before they sink more time into those dead ends 🤷♀️

@rauschma
Yes, the "bare runtime" and "pear runtime" (on top of the bare runtime)

https://github.com/holepunchto/bare

https://github.com/holepunchto/pear

Its not fancy like "bun" or "deno" or the old "nodejs", but its so much better and just low profile.

People should start building on top of that rather than VC funded deno or bun or legacy nodejs.

@dthompson @dat_ecosystem @what @cwebber

The foundational piece is hard to say in a hyper modular ecosystem.

If i would need to list the main pieces, i'd say its the interaction between the following modules:

p2p networking:
1. hyperdht
2. hyperswarm
3. hyperdht-relay

data replication protocol:
1. hypercore
2. corestore

data structures
1. hyperbee
2. hyperblob
3. hyperdrive
4. hyperdb

multiwriter
1. autobase

There are many more useful modules build and maintained by many ecosystem devs

@dthompson @what @cwebber

I can highly recommend taking a look at the pear runtime. If you are familiar with nodejs javascript, all it takes is:

`npm install pear -g`

and then

`pear run pear://runtime`

to get started. Just follow instructions.

This runtime is part of the @dat_ecosystem and JS was choosen to exactly provide an easy way for anyone to get started with p2p.

an example cross platform app is https://keet.io

runtime docs are here https://docs.pears.com

have fun 🙂

oh sweet. didnt know about it.
i like that.

i still prefer writing code and adopting it over writing specs.
code is executable spec.
maybe not as human readable, but when if not now could you use AI to turn it into readble english?

i remember a time when standards happened because the majority of users adopted a specific package as their dependency.

i really do prefer that over writing specs
