The people in charge want us to believe there is no alternative to this world. History has ended! Expecting anything more than tinkering at the edges is utopian fantasy.

The future hasn't happened yet, but they've stolen it from us already.

@ErikUden you're sounding like one of those dangerous people with Ideas. Stop it! 😜

Oh! for now has wifi and Ovation Pro bundled... I wrote all of my university essays in Ovation, now if only I'm able to recover them from the old Risc PC to a Pi... this is great! https://www.riscosopen.org/news/articles/2024/04/27/risc-os-5-30-now-available

@armbytes @scruss ah that's annoying, my Pi400 was one of my target options. Well, I have other Pis around here somewhere... rummages

@armbytes I had an A4 laptop through university, with the Risc PC at home. I need to resurrect the latter, with the former having gone to a new home a long time ago.

@armbytes yes! very nearly popped for one of those last year when they were initially floated as a thing... really must not do it! 😆️

What the hell, the discord mobile UI had literally changed under me. Where are direct messages now? Grr.

An excellent and explainer! (and it doesn’t even refer to any specific platform) https://youtu.be/VmSWPj0T9IQ

@ManyRoads thanks for the FWIW - it sounds like that’s something we (the Fediverse community) could do better at.

@andypiper@macaw.social avatar

@steve yes I see what you’re saying here. Initially the metaphor was quite good, but you’re right that there’s no overall governance so that aspect breaks down a bit. Still - I mostly see the hackneyed email metaphor, so this was an interesting alternative way to look at it.

andypiper,
@andypiper@macaw.social avatar

@steve that's a good point, the international aspect covers the different cultures and rules piece as well. Nice enhancement to the concept.

@joho @lee FWIW this is being (gradually) discussed through the W3C social web community group https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/

@lee I shared this and there is a fair amount of attention over on that thread -> https://macaw.social/@andypiper/112487185068296827

@lee by the way, maybe a copy of this video on a Peertube instance would be more on-brand for the 🙂

@andypiper@macaw.social avatar

@joho @lee ... it is complicated! But yes, we are thinking it through. Appreciate your interest in the feature.

Finished watching Sugar on AppleTV last night and why the fuck aren't more people talking about this on my timeline?? I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just tell you to go watch it, especially if you like noir.

@rebeccawatson aha! I had this strongly recommended to me last week, and it is on my list to take a look! Thanks for another positive signal!

@alastair Right. There’s a popular delusion that after fascism, good guys hide in the bushes and pick off the storm troopers. I call this the “Hollywood history” effect at work. In reality, people rat-out their friends and families and cower in the shadows of normalized fear.

andypiper,
@andypiper@macaw.social avatar

@shoq @alastair mm, sorry I can't explain that one, but a file size thing is a possibility I suppose... looks like you (Alastair) updated it now, so I can't easily go spelunking.

He’s so cute!

A square white-and-blue robot with two blue printed “eyes” on the front and an Arduino Nano on top.
The top of the Arduino Alvik robot. It is square and has an Arduino Nano board plugged in along the front upper edge. The robot is white with blue printed details, there is a 4-way blue directional control printed in the middle with two blue buttons that have a cross and a check mark.

Hi folks, you may have noticed that we had an outage for a couple of hours this morning on our app, website and instance. We are back online now and hopefully things should be back to normal, but please bear with us if there are any issues for the next while.

@danhon if I'd thought about it, I'd've got you to give a stack to Coates last week, and then get some off him, but, now I'm far away again.
