Notices by Kookie ? (spacekookie@octodon.social)

@eldritchanchovy @notstavvers came here to make this joke, boosting it

Yes, that's exactly where I want it

@luka who the hell is Edgar, by austria

"Zero dot zero zero three
Give me two years, and your dinner will be free
Gas station champagne is on me
Edgar cannot pay rent for me"

I really love these lyrics 🔥

Being a software researcher means spending several dozens of hours going over funding documents and paperwork repeatedly.

Looking forward to when I can actually write some code again :D

My mum made a comment the other day because whenever she asks me how the project is going I reply with "doing paperwork for the grant" and said "but you said that 4 months ago" and I said "yes, I was doing it 4 months ago too"

@silverwizard oh lmao, I mean I definitely do this. Although I'm not really into modern Star Trek

@silverwizard No 😅 check the other reply to the OP. It's about the Vulkan graphics API

Anyway, time to take my 600 line Vulkan hello world and make something real with it

My fingers are cold ?

cargo clean && cargo build --release

mmm :blobsoothed:

Oh hey it's also #BandcampFriday so you know... ?

Is there a free software/ OSM based version of google earth?

@jon @aral @Vivaldi Why is growth important?

@ruario @aral @jon @Vivaldi Companies have far greater social and technical reach than the individual contributors and small communities that are currently running things.

It's not about access. It's about an imbalance of power. The concern isn't that a vivaldi instance _exists_ per say, it's about the technical and social power that puts into the hands of a very small number of people.

Thus what @aral brought up in the OP and down-thread:
What's the plan here? Why should we, people who have literally built this place, trust (the royal) you?

@ruario @aral @jon @Vivaldi That is true, and I'm not expecting any convincing to happen in a short conversation :blobcatgiggle:

I want y'all to understand that this place has existed for a long time and it's been an important home for many people who've sought refuge from the capitalist internet here.

You have a lot of responsibility to not fuck things up and I want to be vocal and direct about making you aware of this.
