She: “I wish I could be like you and just wake up.”

Me: “Probably something to do with how I was raised.”

Me: “BRIAN GET THE FUCK UP YOU’RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL”

Wanted to share some public Kinopio boards last night but it was heckin’ late.

Knitting and other yarn folks may be interested in this crochet board

A community chess game!

It’s a chess board, with instructions and, a record of moves played, and a little bit of commentary

a cool animated connection panel, though I’m not awake enough to capture video.

Many unlabeled little boxes, with extremely well-organized connections.

Stopping now but clearly I like the shared public option for boards in Kinopio.

Kinopio details for my PKM friends.

Core ethos fits well in #SmallTech

Spent so much time this because I think Kinopio would be useful and fun for more than just my usual digital hoarding crowd.

Made by one of the Glitch folks, and it shows in the collaborative & creative features.

@seachaint yep as far as I can tell. I feel less strongly about the FOSS aspect when they’re taking other kinds of cultural sustainability into account, after one too many open source projects put out there by those Own The World type of companies.

What is it when you answer the phone and it is a telemarketer and you let them get a sentence then politely tell them you are about to start a meeting oh and you’re not interested but have a good day & you hang up proud to check off all the social checkboxes.

I answered the phone because today it might not be a telemarketer. But yeah I knew it probably would be.

The real test of how keyboard-friendly your app is comes when I bust out the Model01.

Use AWS. Relive the thrills from your early days like spending a damn month learning how to set up a database.

Also: yay! It worked! I removed a complication and it worked!

Now to put the complication back in.

Probably should’ve figured a stopping point of “information wants to be free” would be mass corporate surveillance, power multipliers for autocrats, and sucking the marrow out of art so we can have better celebrity deepfake porn.

Was gonna say “endpoint” but I’m not feeling that optimistic.

hackers.town: 2022-09-28 Wed 21:46

I’ll be feeling better shortly but sometimes I just gotta share the background noise.

I admit I have more faith in Terraform’s ability to get this right every time than mine — especially since I’m stuck with the kind of brain that wants to see it go a hundred times so it can get the shape of things.

TF makes that part easier for sure.

quick quick git commit before you screw it up

hackers.town: 2022-09-28 Wed 22:34
