hi, we're #FriendlyElec, and we put all our OS image downloads on fucking Google Drive, which blows our quota by dawn, and if you didn't get your download in before then, fuck you. lol! #Chinesium

@sendpaws @sun @Alex @adiz @silverpill Taylor Lorenz is an *excellent* example of a user who should stay on Bluesky

another request for work came in, but this time it's a bug hunt (in the sense of the line from Aliens) with no clear path forward defined at all, I think I need a joint to deal with this

@sun I wish the people who would be happier on Bluesky would hurry up and go there.

@sun that's a healthy stream!

@sun interesting that even with years in on this network existing, it's really not immediately obvious how to build something very much like it but cleaner.

@sun I haven't been able to keep as close an eye on its development as I'd like, despite wanting to build apps on it. I seem to recall there being some glaring unsolved problems with it even apart from the problem of having to convince every implementor to support a new object type.

@sun yeah, with literal billions of users, fragmentation is fine.

@sun seems like every form of decentralized social networking has certain key downsides which stem from being decentralized

@sun yeah, I established a toehold due to its censorship-resistant properties, but it's mostly bitcoin maxis posting affirmations and talking about eating nothing but steak. I'm probably gonna keep poking around over there though.

@sun interesting, especially the bit about toxic positivity. did you give up on Nostr?

@sun hm, I set up a Mumble instance on Debian a while back and it worked. would be ironic if being forced to use Ubuntu meant you ended up with a broken Mumble package

@sun it's microblogging?

@TerryHancock there are many different types of walkies which work on many different bands.

CB is AM or SSB; the Baofengs are FM, so they don't talk to CB. but, in the USA they can talk to ham VHF, not-quite-legally to GMRS (with a $35 license which covers your entire family for 10 years), and illegally to MURS, FRS, FM business radios, and marine VHF.

in practice, nobody gives a shit that people use the Baofengs on bands they aren't certified for as long as you're polite.

@lanodan @neauoire

@sun imagine thinking so highly of yourself as this person clearly does, when actually you are surplus population.

@sun lol

new fedi pr0n instances in 5.. 4..

@sun generating AI slop of Trump as a giant chicken?

You just pop it into a Raspberry Pi and you have AI! […]

@jeffcliff @sun my main issue is that I've been stuck for 8 years in environments which suppress my mind's ability to contain that level of complexity, I used to be a bona-fydee software engineer and have a degree in CS (undergrad, but still)

but, I still try to help where I can. currently focusing on helping ne'er-do-wells like me get a leg up. feel free to hit me up whenever, worst I can say is no

@sun I want to make software and/or web apps so bad, and I haven't written a lick of code beyond sub-50-line shell scripts in years :(

for me it's a cognitive chicken-and-egg, I'm not able to work on such tasks in small increments until I've been working on them every day for a long time and thus the context is still fresh, and I can't re-bootstrap into the dev headspace without either a partner for "body doubling," or long blocks of alone time living someplace where I control my sensory input
