Last Notes npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Trumps has ordered the US navy to interdict any ship that has paid the Iranian Hormuz toll, which implies they will board/seize Chinese ships in international waters Threatening genocide didn't work, but I guess he thinks threatening WW3 by dragging China into the conflict will be better. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116391828823240211 #WW3 #IranWar https://cdn.masto.host/sauropodswin/media_attachments/files/116/392/239/407/450/410/original/e7bf1fdb358b36b6.png npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…v2va @nprofile…5ac4 Yeah, I’ve been wondering if there are enough alternative sources to compensate. I think the answer is probably no, because the fertiliser is needed right now, and scaling up the alternatives would probably take at least a couple years, right? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…5ac4 I don’t understand why the fertiliser is always an afterthought, if it gets mentioned at all. We use oil and natural gas to excess, they can be rationed. The fertiliser situation seems… totally catastrophic. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…tvgr ironically, the notion that Iran is pretty close to having a nuclear weapon is probably true (they were pursuing a strategy of staying just sub-nuclear). They may have the uranium and equipment in those tunnels to make one in a few weeks. Iran’s retaliation may be even more dangerous than he thinks. https://youtu.be/JtUobr7xGz4?si=BrpSaIVrVA4uOxwu npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…pfuj Sometimes I get these uncomfortable feelings of embarrassment for Trump, like oh my god dude this is some sad stuff. This whole ‘actually I’m not chickening out we’re actually winning and they want to talk to me and its going really well and really great and they gave me a present' thing is just so humiliating. So yes, I think it's completely made up. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…y4e4 The war is a strategic masterstroke... for Putin. It means he will find ways to prop-up Iran if they seem to be running out of steam. Strategically, he could justify close to that entire amount to supporting Iran and it would still be a win (Even half that amount makes something like ten thousand of Shaheds a day!). npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…galm Yes, I'm sure you're right, I'm sure they can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by meanness and stupidity. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…galm Yeah, although I think they have a greater chance of their brutal tactics working there, and it's pretty low-cost cost politically and financially. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway MAGA seems really good at pivoting to things that blow up in their face after the last thing they pivoted to blew up in their face. Epstein files -> mass deportations -> Iran war… Such is the burden of being really fucking stupid I guess, but what are the going to pivot to from this? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…fr89 I don’t think the end game here is people making their own apps. It’s people asking for something to be done, and the AI figuring out how to do it. If it has to write code to interact with API, automate an interface, or write “original” code, it will. Code will be single-use a lot of the time. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…7493 well actually…. I’ve got nothing. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…vnwf Not sure what you're arguing here, people become professional when enough people give them enough money... right? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…49jh not sure they will be able to do so anyway. Iran can strike all sorts of crucial targets from a wide variety of positions, surely? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…q72j triangulating… triangulating… https://cdn.masto.host/sauropodswin/media_attachments/files/116/156/451/252/462/812/original/8dad9ce6a4387486.mp4 npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…26ln @nprofile…lmq8 it’s not uploadsto the home server, that’s a relatively small amount of storage, it’s the caching of the tens of thousands of media posts from the other servers that take up space. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…26ln @nprofile…lmq8 sounds like they are missing the home server cache, and it having to re-fetch from the originating server. There might be a setting I could tweak, but storage costs are getting pretty high as it is. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Hi folks, as many of you might know, the successor to #TetZooCon, #Dinocon is happening this month in Exeter. I was scheduled to do the palaeoart workshop, but unfortunately I am in Australia for family reasons, and can't make it. The good news is that Joschua Knüppe has stepped in and I'm sure it will be great (better even!). You can book tickets here: https://www.dinocon.co.uk #Events #UK #Palaeontology #Conventions #Dinosaurs npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…48vs aren’t the waves due, like tealky soon? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…48vs I’m seeing joggers and people on scooters… ? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…args Your toot is one of the twenty or so I see as I load and reload my vibe-coded Mastodon client. Poetic. Especially when it hangs. https://cdn.masto.host/sauropodswin/media_attachments/files/114/481/424/465/921/346/original/51b2922cb5c4618d.png npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…xrsx I considered Dart, but confess I didn’t quite get what it would get me over, say, python. Plus it has curly braces, and I am a shallow, shallow man. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…3nsk You monster! npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…0we2 Good to know. I’m not after optimisation, just a language I can understand and use easily for various things. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…utvy Yeah, that is really neat. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…uhwj Oh, that looks cool. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…uhwj The simplicity is a huge bonus for me. I'm finding that I can read other people's code! With with Python and more so Javascript, there's always lines where I'm like WTF did you just do there? Is that even valid syntax? I think Go has a somewhat similar simplicity, but its much noisier because of typing and syntax. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Programming languages, I've tried a few. PHP, Javascript, Python, Nim, Rust (briefly), and Go. I've variously thought they are too yucky, warty, ugly, complex, or just plain too hard for me. I've never found my fit. I'm starting to think that #Lua might be what I've been looking for... crazy? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway My pet peeve today: The #AdobeIllustrator “Magic Wand” tool, which selects similarly styled objects, has terrible defaults (kinda similar colour), and doesn't remember the settings you choose between sessions. This bug has been in Illustrator for at least _20 YEARS_. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…4tnp I hate to say it but this is what cryptocurrencies were/are meant to be good for. Don’t hate me. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…hujc seems to me that the ultimate solution to this is to run your own server with one of the syncing applications installed. Just about everything else will enshitify eventually. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…se6t X and SpaceX are indeed more of a problem. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…hrhx @nprofile…dyz0 my understanding is that it was because she stepped into the Biden campaign machine, and that way the deal. It was a mistake I think. On the broader principle, though, I think the American president has way too much power, and constraining them with party policy is at least somewhat tempering. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…4ut3 Hmm, I’m using Tuba, and I haven’t seen it. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Anyone got recomendations for a #Linux Mastodon client that supports "quote" boosting? (I know this is essentially a shortcut to linking, but I really like it). npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…dyz0 its hard to know what Harris would have done in the situation, because she was not allowed to break with Biden during the campaign. But I'm pretty sure the current Trump aim is that there will be no Palestinians in Gaza. There is no resistance at all coming from the White House on maximalist genocidal/ethnic cleansing aims. This will get worse. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…dyz0 its hard to know what Harris would have done in the situation, because she was not allowed to break with Biden during the campaign.

Except for the acheivements, the mathematical ability, and being a different person. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway When I was a kid I thought this ballet thing I read about was ballay for kids. https://mastodon.online/@batkaren/114341817906042626 npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway I think thet hing I will miss most about switching away form Apple platforms is @nprofile…79ya It's in a real software sweet-spot for me: it's made to be really _nice_, but works with standardised protocols. I'm happy to pay for the extra work that it takes to make things just so! npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…99ut I don't know actually, but I see this as a failure of the projects either way. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…99ut There is OpenRaster: https://www.openraster.org/baseline/baseline.html ... and I think they could possibly use SVG, which would be pretty sweet actually, because it would bring the kind of interoperability that Adobe keep spromising without delivering. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…99ut Anyone with an advanced degree in hyperbolic topolgy anyway. No, but seriously, it's a bit better, but not by much. Standard file formats are really important, because your project can fail, but if you're using a standard format, no one should have to write special software to read the documents it creates. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Open source graphic programs often aren't great in this respect either, by the way. Krita and Gimp use their own formats! (Inkscape thankfully uses SVG.) #opensource npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway In my transition to #Linux , the main problem isnt finding decent software to start new things in, but file-format lock-in. I've got years of work locked away in .ai files that are pretty much unreadable by anything other than Adobe Illustrator. They are a complete mess in Inkscape, and I'm not sure there's much to be done about it. I should probably just declare them all done and live with the uneditable PDF versions. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Also, in the #Linux transition, a lot of things that I would expect to work are actually not smooth (Linux gonna Linux), but some things, like #KDE_Connect, which you'd think... err this is going to be rough, just work. Very nice. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway In my ongoing transition from Mac to #Linux I have been trying to avoid just setting up something like a Mac, but worse. So I have been trying some more radical things, like the tiling window manager i3, but it was a bit much for me. Then I came accross scrolling tiled window mangers and, oh my! This is how things should be done. There are a few out there, but I'm using #PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM Going back to my Mac with higgledy-piggledy windows feels outright barborous now. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…e545 Is it a world of fiddly breaky-things, that need constant security updates that break more things? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway In my quest to free myself of the (American) corporations (man), I keep coming back to NextCloud for syncing/photos/calendars. But it feels like the WordPress of cloudy things, which makes me feel like it would be a mistake... help me out here, people! #OpenSource npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…ktjk good question.

Thousands of buttons and tabs and drop downs scattered all over the place. It feels like you need to be a rocket surgeon just to lay out a bit of text and a few pictures. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…s6ke Personally, I've really only used two apps seriously.

Perhaps the Linux ARM ecosystem isn't as advanced as I thought it might be? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…3dpf Because I have a Pi spare,and all my other computers are ARM Macs. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway It's not all bad of course!

I'm using Vivaldi more seriously and I'm liking the features. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway I am writing this from a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu, as part of my exploration of getting away from big tech. The experience so far is... a bit rough. Obviously, the Pi 4 is under powered as a modern desktop, but also lots of software doesn't work at all. I can't get Krita to run for example. Is that an ARM thing? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…xvqx mostly starvation and disease.

I feel you! npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Hey open source nerds, what’s your personal device setup, and how do you handle the “cloudy” bits, like sync, email, calendars, document sharing, photos, that sort of stuff? #OpenSource npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…dwgn @nprofile…gfyr he did have another idea actually, which was to engineer the ousting of Zelensky, which has fallen flat because Zelensky is too popular, and the plausible opposition figures in Ukraine wouldn’t change situation anyway. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…gfyr his plan was to hand over Ukraine with no security guarantees. When it became obvious that without those guarantee, Ukraine would fight on without American help, he got really cross, and now he’s out of ideas. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…57qw Well, if you can't trust Putin for the facts, who can you trust?? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…p7a8 @nprofile…cldh Yes, I agree. Shame its now rather than three years ago when it could have been foreseen, but better now than never. The next year is going to be difficult. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…z9pd Eh, Trump is going to take the US out of NATO anyway. He's already given the game away on article 5, so membership of NATO ain't what it used to be. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…z9pd Kick Hungary out already! npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…ufuu @nprofile…hujc I’ve always likes the idea of going Open Source, an now with America becoming a fascist state I've been thinking about moving off American software more... but my god do professional graphic designers make a difference. And really good ones (Apple), even more so. Quite the moral quandary! npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…cldh It's a bitter pill, but Trump has pretty much destroyed NATO. Ukraine needs security guarantees from European powers. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…ctu4 presumably you’re excluding software? npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway @nprofile…s6hu no, home is who you follow.

It just helps him relax. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Thinking about this this makes me wondering if Trump even realises what he’s doing. Maybe with some European leaders blowing smoke up his arse, he really doesn’t realise they are re-assessing the US under his leadership as an adversary. They will not help you invade other countries you moron, they will more likely declare war on you. npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Not in the way he thinks. https://pubeurope.com/@byteseu/114157490319263867 npub1lkzu8u489vsfwhkcxz2w6734f8kd2wj5ul8egsllemlzwq2u3ehq80e4vr John Conway Our Prime Minister apparently has to be a weasel at this time, sorry.
