📶 Thanks for using EMF GSM! We'll be tearing down the network starting tomorrow morning.
🔑 If you want the keys for your SIM card (to use at other events, or to reprogram yourself at home), email poc@emfcamp.org your IMSI (dial *#101# while on-site) or your ICCID (the number on the front of the SIM and its packaging).
We'll get around to it after we've all had a much-needed rest.
100 Mistakes in Software Engineering by Luis Cordero
An invaluable list of mistakes to consider on your daily job as a software engineering, that will definitely increase your value as a professional, by giving you situations that you will face, but now with knowledge of what the bests in the industry have done and what they've found to be the wrong paths.
Until now, development has proceeded pretty loosely - we work on whatever seems cool at the time. This is fine but if we collaborate on a decision about priorities then perhaps we'll all be pulling in the same direction a bit more often. If the decision is made in public with all stakeholders, perhaps we'll get some buy-in....
I find my experience here has been mostly solid, so I think you mostly have your priorities right. It's also fun to see experimentation with new features every now and then, so I'm not sure I would even like to see a shift towards focusing only on important stuff.
Better handling of video content #147 (I am also interested if PieFed can integrate better with PeerTube, for example an option to browse PeerTube channels)
"Announce does not federate properly with Lemmy" #22
I think there's a lot of potential in better integration with services outside of the Threadiverse, and this is something Lemmy has been notoriously bad at (and its developers seemingly uninterested in). Not that PieFed should become like Kbin and serve two separate functions, but there's a lot to be achieved in both ends by making the services more interoperable. There might be some sort of place for both boosts and hashtags, while leading @mentions might sometimes be justifiably hidden. More than important I guess I would find it fun.
As for what's urgent, ensuring core functionality and GDPR compliance seems like a fair priority.
This is a response to the Canberra Times' weekly readers poll from the previous week.
The response suggest that if public transport was free, more people would be using it. But this is in contrast to the reasons people give for not using public transport. It is also worth noting that public transport is cheaper than private car ownership.
@luciedigitalni@CurbsideShip116 It might work better now, with improvements in technology, so passenger knows when it arrives. The bus route that shouldn’t have been scrapped, IMO, was the free bus which looped the city. Think it was #101. Would have been happy to pay.
Welcome to #WebcomicTalk, the #fediverse#webcomic discussion hashtag. Our topic this week is "goals." We have three questions left.
Question 2: "Why did you choose the goal or resolution for your webcomic that you did?"
Please include the hashtag #WebcomicTalk and boost the prompt to invite more creators into the discussion. You can answer these prompts whenever you see them, even weeks after they are posted. We'll boost your responses.
I never liked open ended comics because there was never really much of a satisfying solution to the stories they were telling - they always dovetailed into the next thread.
So when I started my comics, I was very big on "I will have the whole story in my head before I do comic #1."
Closetspace (http://dolari.net/cs) is fairly rigidly plotted, and its following that plot very closely.
"A Wish for Wings" (http://dolari.net/awfw) was less rigidly plotted, and more of an outline that I would follow, but aiming towards an ending. In fact, we HIT that ending in episodes #101 and 104 (no pun iuntended).
That said, AWFW continued because, on the way to that ending, a sequel appeared in my head. That sequel was originally called "A Harp Within My Hand" but instead of making a new comic, I simply extended the story. Harp Within My Hand was also completely outlined before I weaved it into the comic.

Not a book but I love the Cortex podcast (website, youtube) for a more vibe-centric approach to productivity and it’s great to listen through the back catalogue to see what changed over the years, because neither Myke nor Grey just had a productivity system that was perfect from the start and Grey is very open with his struggles. Episode #101 has a bit of a primer on how to get started, but don’t get hung on the apps discussion and more on the parts where they talk about what if someone needs to organise their life. Yearly Themes is also great, especially since the new year is almost here, and you can expect an episode on it this month.
Little warning upfront though, the target audience is very much people who have a lot of tech in their life. You might need to filter through that, and it’s easy to bounce off because it’s a lot of two relatively rich guys talking about how spending money is solving all their problems. If that’s too much, I understand.
From that podcast I’ve gotten the recommendation of Getting Things Done, which is about the trappings of organising your tasks in your head (especially relevant for people with ADHD, I think) and Triggers, which is about how the environment makes certain tasks easier or harder. Both are good, but both are business books.
On November 6, 2023, several hundred people showed up at the Port of Tacoma to block access to a shipping vessel that was scheduled to deliver equipment to the Israeli military.
In the new episode our podcast, we present an audio version of our account of the action, including a history of port blockades in the Puget Sound.
We are proud to be a sponsor of next week’s API Global Industry Services 2023 Cybersecurity Conference. You can find the Bishop Fox team over at Booth #101 handing out swag and ready to chat about our industry-leading #offensivesecurity solutions.
Let's decide on some development priorities
Until now, development has proceeded pretty loosely - we work on whatever seems cool at the time.

Stephen Wolfram's Fundamental Theory of Physics is based on the idea that simple rules can cause complex patterns of our universe to emerge and elegantly explains relativity and quantum mechanics (writings.stephenwolfram.com)
Just learned about this. A long read, but really interesting.
