Time to blow this popsicle stand.
Giving pleroma a shot. Iāll be hanging-out here until something goes wrong:
@jjg I found it hard to agree with that part of the book. Lanier is assigning blame on FOSS for problems created by an entirely different group of people with entirely different set of values.
Second post in a series on the #BioLite #SolarHome 620:

Next post will probably involve screwdrivers... š š ļø
(you can find the entire series here: https://jasongullickson.com/tags/solarhome-620/)
Reading Lanierās book (ā10 Arguments...ā) had the less-obvious effect of making me think hard about the free-as-in-beer aspect of (most) #FOSS.
The claim he makes that this was a mistake, or more specifically that the way they āsolved for freeā (advertising) paved the way for exploitation of users, warrants considerable thought.
Until we smash capitalism, people who make free-as-in-speech things need money to survive,;using ads for this was a mistake.
What to do next...š¤
@mntmn Are you building Reform on your own, or are you building a team?
I've flirted with the idea of bringing a machine of my own "to market" but I'm not sure if it's realistic to do it alone.
One lazy/clever route might be to implement a #forth that compiles under the #arduino IDE (whatever you call that c-like language it uses).
The Arduino IDE can target the #odroidgo directly, and you could avoid trying to figure out the ESP32's various hardware by leaning on the existing Arduino support.
(assuming that it's possible to implement a Forth in that environment, of which I have no idea...)
Anyone running #forth on the ESP32?
I came across this thread and with an #odroidgo on the way, it got me thinking...

(thanks @kelbot & @ajroach42 for turning me on to the hardware)
@jjg Good morning jjg. This may be of help.

@pixelfed the website (https://pixelfed.org/) says ācoming soonā; is there a way to use Pixelfed now?
We made so many improvements in #FreedomBox v0.48.0 that it's hard to summarize them all in one Mastodon post!

I find it amusing that my vacuum is not only hackable, but spends its time hanging-out in a chat room.
