Happy 4th birthday (first commit) to @owncast! Thank you @gabek and all the contributors for your hard work. You’ve made the web a better place. #owncast
I’ve been having a great time with my new @frameworkcomputer laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!
@mattdsteele Oh yeah! That's the same one I have, technically it's not purple. I wish another bezel wasn't $50 though, seems a lot for a piece of plastic with some magnets. But they're a small company, I'll support them.
@blenderfox I’ve never had a fancy looking computer, just Thinkpads and MacBooks. I’m not a gamer, I don’t care about RGB lighting, or making the computer fun. But I thought for this one, since the options are there, I’d go all the way the other direction and make it really fun, just for a change of pace. I’m enjoying different for different sake!
@piegames It’s a macropad, so you can program it to be whatever you want it to be. Numpad, arrows, special keys for the computer, whatever. I use it to switch between my window manager desktops.
@frigginglorious I can totally see having a dedicated numpad would be useful for that use case. I’ve been using the macropad to perform one key macros to change desktops in my tiling window manager. It’s actually been really convenient, especially when my hands aren’t already on the keys. I just tap a single key, and I’m at my browser.
Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol
I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money
@sue The internet is a big place, and we’re all allowed to try our own things for our own reasons. Because I choose to write software, and give it away, to enable people to do things with, doesn’t make me a part of some kind of problem, and I’m sorry you see me that way. I can’t do everything for everyone, but I can do this. There are plenty of companies who make money and they’ll happily take you. Turning every free software project into a capitalist, venture-funded, profit-first endeavor isn’t the solution that you think it is.
@shadowfacts I wonder if it’s a Pleroma bug. It does seem to resolve itself eventually. In that case, ignore the post since it’s technically invalid, and continue parsing the timeline? If it fixes itself on a future fetch, then great, it’s valid? From the end user standpoint, in this case the problem is less that single item and more how the timeline gets stuck until some point in the future because of the error.
