Ran out of ideas
“Say, what are you doing boarding up your shop?”
“Oh, I used to sell ideas, but I ran out of them. So I’m closing shop, for good.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I hear there’s a farm upstate where all the writers who ran out of ideas are free to frolic all day.”
“Hmm… there’s something you should know about that farm.”
“What’s that?”
“It doesn’t exist. It’s just a tale they tell young writers. You know… so that they have something to look forward to.”
“What am I going to do then?”
“You should open up a new shop.”
“What would I sell? I no longer have ideas.”
“Hope.”
“Hope?”
“Yes, there’s an endless supply, and folks always need hope.”
“That’s a plan. I almost said ‘there’s an idea’ but that’s not possible, because I ran out of them.”
“And I even have a name for you ‘The Hopium Emporium.'”
“That’s snappy.”
“It will be $500.”
“What?”
“My fee. $500. I’m a traveling salesman. I sell plans.”

To compete with #Adobe Creative Suites, #Microsoft Office 365, & #Google Workspace, should we have a universal #OpenSource account for all #FOSS & #privacy -focused apps for an easy workflow?
This would allow a #GIMP user to switch smoothly among #Krita, #Inkscape, #LibreOffice #Kdenlive, #Blender, #ProtonDrive, #Joplin, & #NextCloud on #Linux.

Wild idea:
A SearXNG instance/fork run by a co-op, supported by donations (Wikipedia style), using independent indexes like Brave and Mojeek. Free from AI slop. Hosted in the EU. Always free to use.
The search.coop domain is free 👀
Someone should do this.

BASIC ideas:
- BASIC written in Arduino assembly again
- BASIC written in Common Lisp
- yet another 6502 BASIC
Common Lisp (SBCL) ideas:
- a line editor in Common Lisp
- a static site generator the way i actually like to do it... in Common Lisp
special mention:
- try and remove the C primitives from emacs again
- look into guilemacs again

While I am #guessing that it must have been something along the lines of, if they can't see #past the first #impressions then I don't want them anyways. My opinion based on some #experience is that it also might have put off some right #people . And for something like this every single one #matters . Irrelevant whether that trait is #positive or #negative in them. I am not assuming my #correctness here.

So my initial #sentiment in regards of the tone is that the #political #language would most likely not go along with most of the #tech #people , and also the #passionate language which is easily #confused for #hostile might not with others. This is not my personal #critique of your #style , rather an #observation on how that kind of thing could #undervalue or sabotage the #ideas underneath, which of course should be the only thing that #matter .

These are great #ideas, and also typical candidates to file an #ideation issue for at the #fediverse ideas repository, at..

As long-time #fedi advocate and #FOSS passionado I've seen countless times #people #come #together on nifty #ActivityPub ideas, only for it to fade out, and be forgotten again, until the next person throws it into ephemeral #microblog timeline voids.
Do you have a topic you want to debate, but no one willing to sit with the complexity instead of rushing to conclusions?
I am here for that kind of conversation.
Let us think out loud without turning it into a performance.

Advocates argue decline in #InternationalStudents will ultimately hurt the #US #economy because #immigrants often play key roles in #startups & #research.
“International students aren’t just tuition revenue. A decline in international students is not just a matter for next year’s enrollment cycle for universities—it’s a strategic setback for America’s role as a hub of global talent, #science & #innovation,” said Chris Glass, a Boston College prof & researcher on international #HigherEducation.
Glass & others say #universities depend on #InternationalStudents to help power #research projects, bolster their revenue & help expose domestic students to a broader array of #cultures & #ideas. Foreign students make up about 6% of enrollment at #US #colleges.

Think Weirder: The Year's Best SciFi Ideas

Been thinking about the RP2350 as the core of some fun little sustainable computing devices/projects. Two 150MHz cores, 520K SRAM, and megabytes of QSPI flash is pretty generous.
Using the PMUs, etc, one could isolate the cores from each other a bit, having one act as kernel/ioservices via async syscall / RPC, and the other run "app" code.
Undecided if I want to focus on the M33 or RV32IMAC cores for this, both have their plusses and minuses...
@alcinnz @kevinrns well I think #creators must be able to #profit from their work, like #Franquin could sell his #commicbooks#SpirouEtFantasio#GastonLagaffe . If there aint no #copyrightlaw anyone could copy his #creation, and he couldnt make or would have made less money from it.
But like #patentlaw, #copyright must expire sometime, and not like #disney's #MickeyMouse who's been protected from being copied for #waltdisney's entire lifetime and 70 afterwards …

@alcinnz @kevinrns (2/2) #patents expire at like 10 years and are ment for #inventions, while #copyright is ment for #thoughts and #ideas and can be eazier to profit from than inventions , cause you dont need to persuade buyers of your invention's effectiveness, your thoughts just need to be appealing. So, im arguing for a #copyrightexpirationdate set at maximum 25 years
