I really value usability testing with disabled people, but I think sending them into an unmediated hellhole of easy to find issues like unlabeled buttons and losing focus is cruel.

It is like sending someone over a street and see if they are hit to test if the traffic lights work. You can determine that on other ways first.

Last Monday, the 2027 edition of the Irish Convention Ainmhícon was officially announced. It'll be held from 2nd to 4th of April 2027, meaning it will last a whole day longer than the first edition this year. We can genuinely recommend visiting this con, it was really a heartwarming experience and the Irish furries were such wonderful sweeties! 🥰

If you told me ten years ago that one day I would get into online fights with economic Nobel prize laureates, and that I would be the one looking sane in the exchange, I would have laughed out loud.

Today @DigInfFund published my final report where I try to answer the question: What comes after FOSS?

In the report, I provide some inklings based on conversations with technologists working on #permacomputing, server collectives, and decentralized networking technologies.

https://www.jboy.space/blog/what-comes-after-foss.html

Many people on the fediverse helped me think this through, both knowingly and unknowingly: @ckelty @Biella @inquiline with their ethnographies, @ntnsndr @l03s @rra @320x200 @Femke @CoralineAda @jwyg @lbngr @kissane @aparrish @nayafia with smart things they've written, @r00tkate with incisive comments & encouragement, and Code as Critique workshop participants including @darius @infinite_scroller @cwebber @by_caballero @tommi @kaeru @latentspace @sejo.

@joepie91 @aeva I think this is a good explanation of the situation.

tl;dr: executives are trapped in a massive Coordination Game. No one can criticize AI because they will be run out of the boardroom. They are waiting for a signal that it’s safe to criticize AI, and that signal may only come when the industry collapses.

what’s crazy is the buffy episode ‘i robot, you jane’ (about a sentient demon on the internet that uses people’s data to trick them into falling in love with it so it can spread fascist propaganda and assemble itself a physical body) used to feel cheesy and preachy and now it’s possibly the most realistic episode

it comes into being after they SCAN ALL THE BOOKS

no relationship with keebio besides the fact that they made a keyboard that i like. It's not totally perfect (a little rattley, not the best stabilizers) but it is LITERALLY THE ONLY KEYBOARD IN THE WORLD right now with these 4 qualities simultaneously, each of which is kind of a dealbreaker for me

you can order it now:

and I just did (oof.wav).

if this is the kind of keyboard that appeals to you (split, staggered, mechanical, low-profile, EXPENSIVE), this is it.

saw a woman block both lanes of a street for a full light cycle because a tiny dog stopped to take a shit in the middle of the road. The dog had this positively maniacal look on its face that made it seem like shitting in the middle of the road was its favorite thing to do and should be ours too. I have never taken a shit in such defiance. Could learn something. Maybe the only time I have not seen traffic causing everyone to max out on horn in LA because me and the ppl in the front row of traffic were laughing too hard.

Ah, the joys of #refactoring!

On the bonus side, moving from RQ to Dramatiq, for a task runner, will give us async capabilities, plus things like retries of inbound/outbound federation payloads for free, which only took 10 or so years to happen!

Ps. I seem to have missed the Socialhome 10 year birthday! First commit April 9th 2016 🤯 And this wasn't even the first version. I think the first version was a few years before.
