@corbet there's of course the horrible orwellian nightmare of putting these little robots in your house that answer to a mega corp
But for me it's just like, what is actualy the utility of having a smart vacuum? seems to be not practical, more prone to error, idk how an operating system would help with the suction at all, rediculous realy that such a product exists
USpol... immigration, whining@0x4d6165 reminded yet again euros demonstrating why everyone in the world calls them trash
as someone who has left because even after doing everything legally for many years, all the time and money I spent trying to get a visa for my partner means nothing now because of trump -- this is so offensive. Europeans thing immigration is easy, because they're EU citizens and for them it is, for anyone trying to enter Europe, it is not at all easy.
it is extremly difficult to immigrate anywhere legally if you don't have a highly skilled trade and credentials to back it up + an employer willing to sponsor you... or are able to marry someone whose a citizen. That's what I'm doing, and even that costs a lot of money, I had to return to the US multiple times to get the appropriate documents stamped. If all goes well I will have a legal status and zero money.
somebody should relaly work on the iceShrimpNET front end, i mean it seems like the API is pretty well done but someone has to write this dang old javascript, maybe it should be me, maybe i write it in mythril.js, oh shit, nah i won't
trying to learn activitypub, going thru all these old json archives, weird how much redudent information is here, don't get the purpose of transmitting the exact same text multiple times, also why is everything a 'note' lol there are a bunch of types why only note is used
@0x4d6165 my thing is like use these standards to work backwards to design features of site/sql tables, and maybe use xslt to convert xml/rdf documents into html
masto bashingthe farther along i get into designing my own webnode the more i'm like damn mastodon fucking sucks, like on a basic design level, like they overcomplicate a very very small featureset and implementing even small changes is basically impossible
I do greatly suspect they get money from corpos specifically to not implement new features in a typical corpo funded NGO controlled opposition kind of way, like how much of mastodon money even goes into paying developers? meanwhile shit like glitch-soc is objectively better, fucking wild
@0x4d6165 that's just tip of iceberg, so here's the specs i'm more or less tryna implmenet, atom in particular is designed to fit any xml into... oh shit forgot media sitemap
