Looks like I'll shortly need to decide what OS to put on my #Framework 16 :)

Likely I'll go back to #Arch, but I'm tempted to try #Alpine for the first time. I do need to be able to install zoom though, which looks like it might be a challenge on alpine?

We need a movement for conscientious objection to ReCaptchas. I don’t want to be forced to participate in training machine learning models to identify sidewalks, crosswalks, buses and cars in order to go about my daily life digitally.

I don’t want driverless cars on my city streets. I don’t believe the fiction that this technology will ever be safe.

I do not consent to using my own cognitive labor to train the models that will mow down people on foot or bikes later with no accountability.

I'd like to make some maps to understand who can access a particular location by public transport.

I'm imagining specifying a small area and drawing all the public transport lines that intersect that area. Bonus points if I can filter by timetables - it's for church and Sunday timetables are a pain.

Can code something if needed but I've not worked with map data before. All ideas welcome :) tyvm!

Having made a perfectly good notes app as a single-page, hosted-for-free web app, I now wonder what else could be done like this and what would be a great additional enabling tech.

I still really want a personal, private, key-value store with a simple REST API.

If people could have this then all sorts of stuff would be possible with super-cheap web apps.

And I wonder if things like this exist. But it’s SO hard to find them. Because nothing is simple. Everything is made over-complicated!

We--my partner, my kid, and I--have 2 days left to decide whether said kid stays enrolled at her neighborhood elementary school or enrolls in a specialized gifted education program that offers services she very much could use in a different school.

There are pros and cons. But the thing I can't get over is that the other school--the only place in the whole district where these services are offered--is in a no walk/no bike zone. As in kids are literally banned from #walking & #biking there.

It's my belief that if an electronic device needs replacing within four years—for any reason—it was defective from the beginning.
