It works! 🎉 Thanks a ton for making it work
Of course!!!

They have been trying that idea (with interactivity in mind) on Dynamicland for a long time now, here is a small demo of it applied to science.

Size is what makes a network attractive to commercial exploitation. An open network like the Fediverse might not be commercially exploited by its infrastructure owners, but any participant can do so.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
I really like Inkwell, what would improve my experience is a native app. Outside of that I would love to talk and discuss how we can get more people on Inkwell and knowing about Inkwell and the Open Social Web at large.
I will do better to start posting, I do like and repost
Thank you @damon_ ! I agree we need a native app and I should put that back on the roadmap. Mostly, what is stopping me is the cost; things are tight right now. But I haven’t had much demand for a native app, so maybe others would want it as well, and it could help drive adoption. I know a lot of people use their mobile over PC.
@cwebber There are a few of these in the wild – https://github.com/AonoZan/FieldForge looks like the most advanced – but I haven't done enough investigation to vouch for them.
libfive is also mostly in maintenance mode; I got tired of fighting C++ and wrote a successor kernel in Rust (https://docs.rs/fidget), although libfive still probably wins for meshing quality...
@mjk Wow I didn't know that was you! :)

If you use Humble Bundle, surprise! They replaced their entire website with insecure slopcode garbage, so maybe delete your payment details as soon as possible there since there’s obviously no way this stays a good safe for long
But Cybersecurity Awareness Month was _last_ month!
WitchyAF somehow became PowerfulAF. I thought this was a quirky comedy show, and it was, but it turned into something else.

Thank you.

@liaizon like why do they even want to drive people to sign up? i guess they can donation spam you more if they have your email?
Gotta be honest.. I really love this Jensen dumpster fire 🔥 It drags down so much crap with it, yum yum!

Healthcare is a human right, fuck everyone who thinks otherwise 🤷
@stux If that's the worst thing they think I'll consider it. Otherwise I feel they can just go fuck themselves and I'll do the same.

Grrr.
Printer rant incoming.
We have a wireless printer. And most of the time, it works. A few days ago, it would not listen to my laptop, and I had to send the document I needed to print to @ColinTheMathmo. Printed perfectly for him.
Grrr.
Today I have printing to do, and just in case, I've found the cable and plugged it in, and sat down, bracing myself to troubleshoot.
Wireless works perfectly, first time. Ordinary printing, and high quality on special paper, both successful.
So the printer needs a pacifier before it will work for me now?
/end rant
@virtuosew @ColinTheMathmo I am glad that you found something that works.
We have a printer/scanner with a large size scan bed which I occasionally need for something. I have resisted setting it up “properly” to get the iPad to talk to it because I cannot stand all the permissions that it demands, and it probably will not work anyway once I do (I think I tried to figure it out once, but gave up because it was taking too long for the time I had available and the stress factor was too high).
I have pretty much given up on connectivity, and use it by scanning to a USB stick, or printing from the USB stick. Fortunately my iPad pro will read/write to USB-C, not all iPads will.
@aharoni i have to write about the damn thing this evening *again* gah
@davidgerard I will listen to yours of course, because it's short and actually entertaining. (Which, come to think of it, probably means that you invest *more* in writing it well.)
