@[email protected] Yes. I understand all that, but just because something is purpose built doesn't mean it's not worth understanding. That should be clear enough with ActivityPub trying to get nomadic identity working.I'm not out here trying to make the next big thing or even pushing the next big thing. I just want to tinker and learn in my spare time.And for federated protocols, I'm saying you need a lot of spare time that I don't have to wrap your head around it all since nothing (and this includes ActivityPub) is very well documented.
Jeez. I don't like online videos anymore. Every so often I'll open YouTube to look for a tutorial, and all the popular shit is some guy or generated voice narrating the video that's being played.And I'll hear one of my sons watching a video that gives a synopsis of an episode of a TV show. Not an analysis or a behind the scenes. A narration of the show without any of the dialog or bits that would have made a show good. Like someone doing a shit job of telling you about something they saw last night. And I say "shit job" because it's so fuckin boring.It hurts my head that the Internet is flooded with this nonsense.#internet #YouTube #video #enshittification
Started a new book. I was in the middle of another, but this is from a hold from the library. So I'm on a deadline. It's You Had Me At Hola by Alexis Daria.It's good so far, but there's a lot of Spanish and I don't speak it. So it will be slow going as I translate bits
Bought myself some shoes from Kizik. They're pretty nice, and they make a variety of styles in my size (I have extra wide feet). Now I can finally buy something other than the one singular style at Skechers that fit me.#shoes #clothes
I started a new blog. Here is a post where I rant real hard on parents that don't send their kids to their neighborhood school.https://bryan.redeagle.me/blahg/mini-rant-neighborhood-schools/
I learned (this is 2009 data) that only 30% of neighborhood kids go to the local high school. The rest go to other Saint Paul schools. Huh, neighbor, I wonder why the local school is having a rough go of it. Could it be that all of the economically privileged students have been sent to other schools? And then the less economically sounds students were taken out of their neighborhood schools and placed at ours?Could that be it? Could it be the resources and support given to other schools? Hmm?It's only been a week, but my kids like their teachers at our neighborhood school. The teachers are keen to teach. If the school had the resources of the other schools, I think the students could succeed.Fuckin white flight. I hate it.
I figured out what bugs me most about isekai anime. They feel like a story where the min-maxer was allowed to get away with their stupid bullshit.#anime #ttrpg
I've read 9 books this year. I'm pretty proud of myself because I've read less than that for the 10 years prior (not out of choice). I wonder how many more I should do before I add stars to my Book It tattoo and have a pizza party. #bookstodon #book #BookIt
Urisei Yatsura: a man with no redeeming qualities has two women fight for his attention.I'm not sure if it gets better, or what people saw in it other than Lum wearing a bikini all the time.#anime
Wife and I went to trivia tonight. We got fourth, but I'm saying we did amazing because it was just the two of us while the three winners had four or five members.
Today's Life Tip: If you have a serious eye problem in the US, don't go to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care. They can't help with eyes.Just call an eye doctor. Any eye doctor. They know where all the good eye equipment is at, and they can usually get you in somewhere same day for a test or even an emergency surgery.#TIL #LifeTips
Just learned my utility bill doesn't have a set due date. It's on a 28 day cycle so the due date moves each month. That's not going to make it difficult at all to remember to pay.#utilities #capitalism
Anime needs to work on their titles. What the hell kind of title is "Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers"? Nothing about that title makes me interested in watching it.#anime
Thinking about getting Crunchyroll to watch Apothecary Diaries. All the featured anime is Isekai, and none of it looks good. Back in my day we had quality other world traveling: Escaflowne, Magic Knight Rayearth, Digimon, El Hazard, etc.#anime
