Yes, there is a lot of affinity towards Canada in Europa, I feel. Last Bastion of Democracy on the North-American continent, and not part of the whacky Trump-Atlantian Hemisphere.

Canada is as democratic as the UK…

Without agreeing or disagreeing, I will note that GP specifically called out North America

As in "not very"?

I learned that Turso apparently have plans for a rewrite of libsql [0] in Rust, and create a more 'hackable' SQLite alternative altogether. It was apparently discussed in this Developer Voices [1] video, which I haven't yet watched.

Stick it, because? Always ask why. Perhaps the orange man is shitting in gardens far and wide abroad? Personally I do not want America to fail at all, to flourish even, and for it to remain a democracy at that. It helps. The orange man seems to have differently opinion.

You're not masfuerte who hoped it was true.

If you want your country to fail because you don't like the president, that's terrible.

I feel stuck under Starmer but I don't want his policies to fail the country in order to prove my position correct!


> Instead, if I were CEO, I'd go the opposite way: I'd focus on privacy.

Where it comes to AI in that regard, I would also focus on direct human connection. Where AI encapsulates people in bubbles of tech isolation and social indirection.


Discouraging you to do it again.

From the website:

> Synit is an experiment in applying pervasive reactivity and object capabilities to the System Layer of an operating system for personal computers, including laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. Its architecture follows the principles of the Syndicated Actor Model.

> Synit builds upon the Linux kernel, but replaces many pieces of familiar Linux software, including systemd, NetworkManager, D-Bus, and so on. It makes use of many concepts that will be familiar to Linux users, but also incorporates many ideas drawn from programming languages and operating systems not closely connected with Linux’s Unix heritage.


I hear people on Mastodon, who undoubtedly came from X, talk about 'tweeting a Mastodon post' instead of posting or 'tooting'.

GNU Taler [0] perhaps. They are funded by EU grants, and have a funding program [1] going to stimulate the ecosystem.

> We are building an anonymous, taxable payment system using modern cryptography. Customers will use traditional money transfers to send money to a digital Exchange and in return receive (anonymized) digital cash. Customers can use this digital cash to anonymously pay Merchants. Merchants can redeem the digital cash for traditional money at the digital Exchange. As Merchants are not anonymous, they can be taxed, enabling income or sales taxes to be withheld by the state while providing anonymity for Customers.

Nice! You might add Prezi as inspiration for zooming and panning across the live dynamic environments, islands on your everything canvas in: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/an-everything-canvas/


Ha, it's been ages since I heard about Prezi, thanks!

Related to Prezi, but not my earlier comment: I'm actually messing with a little toy project: a Playdate (http://play.date) remote to control presentations/media/Claude Code

It would be (useless, but) fun to be able to control the animation transitions (like those in Prezi) using the crank!


Just one example, but trying to get that revenge porn off the web, can be seen as an attempt to restore ones privacy. Where others should not have the right to continue to peek into ones private life.


That's not quite the kind of thing I was talking about. I think that is generally already covered by current laws in most places?

The right-to-be-forgotten advocates argue that everyone should have the right to demand that any trace of their previous online existence be deleted. On social media of course, but also independent web forums, chat logs, git commits, etc.
