@Gina I guess that said are there a bunch of USB-A devices you need to use? If you do depends on them consider whether or not you can get USB-C cables for them and hope they work?
@Gina for me the deal breaker is a lack of an RJ45 jack. I also hate dongles and needing one to use wired ethernet drives me batty. Also USB-C is the worst connector ever.
@wilw it is certainly a wonderful language. Welcome!
@kyle 👏👏👏
There are a few features I want to add to my #Rust crate connchk, but I think I’ll take a tech break this weekend.
@the_tower_power_ damnnn
@kyle hahahaha solid gold man
@stevenroose @Gina my T460s has been crushing it since 2016. A touch underpowered for some tasks now, but not holding me back. My Librem 14 should ship in the first batch or so, and I imagine that arrives before any EU lockdowns end so I should have some impressions by then
@Gina Lenovo would work, as would Purism’s Librem 14. If we ever get to relax the pandemic measures I can let you test drive both.
@Gina ruh roh
@Gina haha thanks for the much needed laugh 😹
@ademalsasa my vote was for Element, but that option should probably be Matrix rather than the client used with the protocol.
@Gina hugs.
Btw we're still having a great time in the #aFediverseChat room on #Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/#afediversechat:matrix.org 🎉
There have been interesting discussions about topics like #foss, #federation, #opensource, #phones, #OS, but also non-tech topics and just general hanging out. Anyone can join. ☺️
Dissatisfied with the various offerings of the Fediverse, I decided to read the (current) prominent standard to see how it works. Now I understand why the UX across the Fediverse is so painful. ActivityPub and ActivityStreams do nothing to define a concretely interoperable set of services. They just list some open ended, and wholly optional, possibilities for what could be.
@Gina I would settle for a flask too. Full, of course.
@Gina coffee cup, multibit screwdriver, and a pocket reference for some command line tool.
I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.
