Like people. A lot. Think "Labrador who can draw".
If you like the idea of decentralized communication, using federated instances, you could maybe check out peertube. (Seeing as we are all about de-googleing and all)
Yesterday was spent in the woods next to a lake.
Where it's so quiet that your ears ring and you can without a problem hear the beating wings of a passing bird, the little splash when a fish breaks the surface and the susurration of the entire forest.
No social media, no internet, no problems.
Started filling out and colouring in the doodle from a few days back.
Since we're watching a movie I went with coloured markers that I had laying around #mastoart
Damn wasps.
Like I said stuff LIKE the fringe ideas we where playing with already exists - but the thinking is something I really liked.
To see the phone as something like a server
... anyway the ideas sort of fizzled out - the initial mockups for the app where drawn but then I kinda lost interest with it and other stuff maybe its time to revisit it?
But there is a go-between...
So a while back I and some people in the KDE community where talking about a note taking app that used KDE connect to sync notes between devices seamlessly.
The idea was to use your phone, the one device you always carry with you, as the server-in-the-middle for syncing between work and home.
Similar things exists but the ideas back at Akademy Almeria was pretty snazzy and fun. To rethink the phone as a server for small files.
It always there and always on.
Right... lets do this decentralization thing correct.
For it to properly happen we need a clear, and safe, way for people to set up their own servers at home. Something like Nextcloud Box but simpler - plug and play with universal instructions.
Which is a massive problem - email servers are (apparently) complex AF by step 0 and doing a plug-and-play server which can use port forwarding AND have stuff like email... uy. Tricky but critical.
Hey y’all! 
@andybalaam is looking for an artist for a t-shirt design.
“[They’d] like something that says "Code like a girl" and features a cool, geeky young woman totally in the zone at her keyboard. Send me some examples of your work and prices!”
I will start posting requests this way. We try to use #CommissionMe in your open commissions toots too so someone can simply search that too. Please dont include me in replies.

If you're interested in finding extreme metal stuff without shitty politics & bigotry Kim Kelly's weekly column at Noisy is awesome.

much of the music she writes about is on bandcamp and pay what you can too
Listening to @jupiterbroadcasting on PeerTube 😀
A site with photos of all the stuff they found at the bottom of a canal in Amsterdam when they drained it...
so many bongs lost... smh
This flew past my feed elsewhere... what a fun language idea. A mix of all romantic languages making it basically readable even for non-romantic-language speakers with only the slimmest grasp of those languages.
(cont) so an app like that would have to focus on "strength", "movement/consitution" or "muscle" as focus since they are so different - then it would have to have an extensive library of exercises with images, and description "standing reverse arnold press" isn't really self explanatory.
Then a scheduler tying into your calendar app + a sort of tick list with "weight", "sets" and "reps"
Perhaps a "motivation" bit, a man-page and a random tutorial bit?
When we launched #SaveCodeShare last year, we were sure that a few months later the decision makers would know it's important to #SaveYourInternet. We were wrong.
So make yourself heard today by signing https://savecodeshare.eu, https://saveyourinternet.eu and contacting your MEP!
I mean so far I have been going with the "just try to get everything done in a week" - now I have to double that and I have no idea how anyone could organize it.
2 days lower body, 2 days upper seems fine until you realize that you need to do several things to the same muscle group a few times.
Perhaps a routine "upper body" thing, and each time focus on one part a bit extra?
How would an app that tracks that even look in the end?
