deutrino

small-time fedi trainwreck personality & long-abiding fedi development attempter. been here since 2017 and haven't accomplished a damn thing besides making friends :)

I used to work in 9-5 software engineering but found it wasn't for me, and then life took me on a ride. I'm still on that ride, and now trying to reboot as an indie developer.

@nprofile…gxk3 I just did a depressing web dev gig which came about because the people were desperate to be cited by chatbots, and apparently the SEO/marketing bottom-feeders have divined various ways to make one's content more attractive to said chatbots, etc etc etc

@nprofile…3n0a that little kerfuffle over the attitude was one of the later straws in the pile which ultimately broke this camel's back; I already didn't use GNOME except when I can't avoid it, but now I've started making an effort to drop apps with GNOMEified UI and GTK apps in general in favor of others where there's an equivalent available. if I'm gonna be contributing in any way (such as bug reports), I want my contribution to go toward building a healthy non-GNOME, non-GTK ecosystem.

@nprofile…mxv0 in other words, your video is a good & valuable reframe, but depending on what business one is in, a certain minimum level of consistency may be required in order to viably self-support in said business. and it's very possible to get stuck in scenarios where that's not possible due to one or another limitation plus having inadequate support, sometimes for many years.
I know too many people on the spectrum who are living some version of this, myself included.

@nprofile…mxv0 the biggest impediment to my ability to self-support for nearly 15 years, and the reason I've been lowkey homeless for 10 years, is because I am not able to actually use my abilities consistently enough to be able to plan anything, deliver work, etc. the first 5 years were burnout, the next 10 have been due to inability to meet my sensory requirements after I lost my home.

2026-03-31 19:22:54 UTC

I hate to say it but I absolutely would not recommend Peertube to any creator who isn't already all-in on a decentralized-first approach, until the UX improves a lot more. it's absolutely not ready for prime time.

- reply

@nprofile…84r4 honestly just the fact we're having this conversation gives me hope, I've been expressing and trying to refine these points on fedi occasionally since about 2018.
the way I use tumblr is a minority faction, but for users who do approach it like this, there's absolutely nothing else to replace it. especially for those who actively poke around finding blogs. over time you can refine your list to your taste so well it hurts. some of that is critical mass of users but a lot is discovery.

2026-03-28 23:14:54 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…84r4 it's not the whole oyster, but an important part of the discovery enabled by the classic tumblr UX is ability to discover users who reblogged silently, with no addition to the post content, no tags, etc.

2026-03-28 23:11:52 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…84r4 good I was gonna say! :) IMO the difference is discovery, in two ways.
1. somebody I follow (or whose blog I'm checking out) reblogged a cool post: I can see (and easily click on) *who they reblogged from* as well as OP. this is huge for discovering less-popular users who mostly just reblog, and for refining one's follow list until there's such chefkiss taste on your dash at 1am Saturday it makes your eyes water
2. finding cool blogs by poking around in / crawling up the reblog chain

@nprofile…84r4 right now there is no other social platform that I'm aware of where those type of users could fluorish if Mullenweg chokes the life out of tumblr. maybe pillowfort? I haven't tried that one because I'm kinda all-in on the decentralized model at this point and tumblr is one of my legacy accounts :P

2026-03-28 23:00:04 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…84r4 if I were implementing my own tumblr workalike, I'd be satisfied if all the other AP implementations worked with it like they do now, as long as mine did it the classic tumblr way. that'd probably be the minimum bar to shoot for.
I will say that if Wafrn ever came out with tumblr style reblogs, over time it'd likely widen & deepen the Wafrn community and also be a huge boon to fedi overall. reblog curators are a small % of users but they do a LOT to keep people's feeds interesting.

2026-03-28 22:51:38 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…84r4 I really appreciate this input. ActivityPub isn't easy to understand, and I have cognitive roadblocks which make it even harder for me personally. so I'm pontificating with incomplete knowledge. anyway that's my fear with this, that there may be no good way to reimplement the tumblr reblog chain on ActivityPub.
which would suck, because IMO it's a crucial enabler of curator and aesthetic tumblr, which is the wing I've spent 15+ years inhabiting 💜

2026-03-28 22:39:51 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…h6f0 yeah, something like that is my hunch. I haven't been able to cram enough understanding of ActivityPub into my brain to have a sense of the possibilities when the goals (in priority order) are 1. fully replicate tumblr reblog UX for users on instances of the tumblr-clone platform, and 2. provide sufficient compatibility with the de facto implementation of Mastodon-style reblogs that users on every other platform software can at least interact, and not be annoyed.

2026-03-28 22:14:22 UTC

- reply

(while I'm on the topic, Matt Mullenweg of Automattic infamy is currently dealing out what I suspect will be the final strangulation of classic tumblr culture which was enabled by emergent properties of how the software worked: recently, "notes" were separated into likes and reblogs, and then about a week ago they rolled out a *massive* and horrible change to how the reblog chain worked, and the reaction was so swift and full of rage they actually rolled it back... for now)

2026-03-28 22:07:20 UTC

- reply

the simple fact that reblogs on most (all?) ActivityPub softwares are always reblogs of the OP and not the person reblogged from is a *huge* problem for building a #tumblr clone on fedi. is it even possible to have it work any other way?

2026-03-28 22:05:07 UTC

- reply

it might be cool to sit down and write and then obsessively refine a product spec for tumblr but optimized for sleepy curator introverts and implemented on ActivityPub, but I have so many more life-critical things that I haven't been managing to do.
one thing I've never answered for myself in all these years of learning: how close an experience to the classic reblog chain UX could be built on ActivityPub? because trust me, that shit's important to the emergent culture.

2026-03-28 22:00:59 UTC

still haven't lost my longstanding desire to reimplement classic tumblr (but highly optimized for sleepy curator introverts) on ActivityPub, Wafrn is great but still missing a certain je ne sais quoi

@nprofile…sklk exactly that. I heard the 3 dots described as a meatball menu a while back and it kinda stuck, although I've also heard it referred to as a kebab menu since then.

2026-03-26 20:37:14 UTC

the very first time I used the new meatballs drawer in #Firefox Android, I tapped the quit button instead of the refresh button 👍
my settings have "clear browsing data when quitting" turned on, so in practice I rarely quit unless I want to clear browsing data, so this nuked all my recent history.
maybe if Mozilla wasn't squandering immense resources on AI slop nobody wants, #UXfail like this wouldn't make it to general release.

I just recently started using #Devuan in LXC installs due to systemd requiring LXC options to be enabled which greatly expand attack surface, I'll now accelerate and widen my adoption of it elsewhere.

I'm increasingly thinking that my comment here on this absolute monster of a #TasksDotOrg issue might be a viable way for me to get back into coding, if only bc I've written so much PHP in my past life that it's gotten to be like riding a bike:
https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/1256#issuecomment-3550856765
tl;dr #TasksOrg is *the* full-featured Android CalDAV tasks solution, every competitor is missing something, but #tasks_org is missing a web front end, and no existing #CalDAV web front ends fully support its features.

@nprofile…c9kz this is an example of why I'm not in the "throw all bathwater + any babies out" camp with respect to genAI.
I've barely engaged with it thus far and am committed to doing so deliberately and thoughtfully, but the people saying it's 100.0% a useless scam are engaged in ideology-first thinking.
it's also got potential for much more boring tasks like document classification and semantic-aware info extraction where a bit of fuzz is acceptable.

I think what I'm really saying here is that the GCal reminders UX was perfect out of the box, whereas I need to do multiple rounds of deliberate learning & tweaking to get equivalent utility/behavior out of Tasks.org, and no other solution even comes close to this level of imperfection while also having a self-hostable data store.
which reminds me, I better figure out how to back up my settings, because that doesn't get written to CalDAV...

2025-11-20 02:48:03 UTC

I'm deep into a bug scrub on the #TasksDotOrg github because I've gone all-in on using it for to-do list management, and having been around this mulberry bush several times now on Android, just let me say:
* holy fuck, building a to-do list app (which can use CalDAV as a back-end no less) is REALLY COMPLICATED
* Google Calendar Reminders must have been specced by an industrial design genius with a budget, because the UX was fucking *perfect* for me in 2018, but then I de-Googled 💀

@nprofile…xjcn hey, thanks for the recommendation! I'll give it a try seeing as the Mastodon UI in the browser leaves some things to be desired.
Fedilab's cross-account features can be summed up as being logged into multiple accounts, then you can long-press to fav, bookmark, boost, or reply from a different account than the one you're currently browsing with. I use that a lot because I have several accounts so that nobody has to suffer the full volume of my turboposting in one place.

the user who made that post has tried more desktop apps than I have, and found most of them wanting as I did.
as of my last investigation, Thunderbird and Kalendar had showstopper issues, and a couple web apps I tried didn't do what I needed.
anyway, I have a few tabs open now with some candidates to look into, so maybe I'll figure something out this time around (I've been down this road 2 or 3 times over the past handful of years with no joy on desktop)

2025-10-19 04:21:34 UTC

on the topic of calendar+task management, one component I'm still missing is a desktop #CalDAV solution which either does both, or is composed of two apps which do #calendaring and #tasksorg tasks.
I believe my Android solution will work for my needs, but it'd be better to be able to update both calendar and tasks from desktop too, especially if I ever lose access to my phone.
the issue is that CalDAV support is rare and CalDAV-with-proper-tasks is rarer.

I know thread (and profile?) backfill is finally rolling out to Mastodon, but one feature that'd be nice is seamless fetching of remote content so the place doesn't look so dead due to artifacts of how federation works. that's always been a sticking point for newbies.

fjdjjajdjflgks overstimulated as fucc and trying to get my shit together to go catsit tomorrow
the endless on/off cycle with the adhd meds is a pain in the ass, I should probably ask for a bump to the next dosage level but that's its own hashtag Americanhealthcare thing
um anyway I am looking forward to having a chance to hyperfocus on @nprofile…emwt and also get back in touch with everyone

@nprofile…d8jm yeah, I quit for the nth time (maybe 4th or 5th over like 15 years, most recent was about 9 years taking low doses) around 3 months ago. tapered a bit, ran out of money for more, then resolved to just get the damn white knuckle phase over with.
it wasn't bad, I was at less than 2tsp a day when I went cold 🦃. acute withdrawal lasted ~4 weeks, now I'm in the extended "notice stuff sucks more often without it" PAWS phase. very mild. a few months and that'll fade.

@nprofile…d8jm I don't personally support a ban, but people definitely could get in trouble with it.
what's interesting to me is that IME and that of 2 friends who took kratom on a regular basis, tolerance & withdrawal scales up and down amazingly compared to many other drugs capable of inducing physical dependence: you can taper yourself down to 1/20th or less of your max intake, and it's still gonna be at least a bit shitty to stop taking it after all that tapering. strange claws!

@nprofile…eqyp @nprofile…g4yp I haven't tried it yet either, but the fact that email is the transmission medium seems like it might be difficult to block in Russia

@nprofile…d8jm kratom is super interesting pharmacologically and has some surprising claws to it in terms of physical dependence. it's also by far the best antidepressant I've ever used, I just had to be high all the time to get a really large antidepressant effect - but that was the most productive period of my entire life, no contest.
hopefully some useful meds will eventually be developed from applying #RationalDrugDesign to mitragynine.

I'm tired. very tired. I do not want to have to disable my fricking ad blocker to figure this out.

@nprofile…eqyp maybe @nprofile…g4yp (Delta Chat) is a better alternative

lol, checking El Reg as part of my usual routine and there's an article about #Matrix front & center 😅
anybody newly throwing in the towel yet?

@nprofile…w3qa this is why I have been, and remain, *highly* skeptical of orgs like IFTAS, which I might add is rife with Eternal November types.

@nprofile…d8jm I want to at least visit the Pacific Southwest before I die. but as with many things I do, it'd be dual-purpose, as I'd also be location scouting for a place to gtfo to.

@nprofile…392q I had been thinking of trying to use an AAA or AA size NiMH battery plus an IC boost regulator, but after searching around, it seems like I'd have to custom design a circuit like that since there aren't designs just lying around on the web, and there are a number of considerations such as whether/how I need to switch over to battery power when dynamo power is too low, etc.
