S01E02. Relativity
Before the Future Came is a podcast that looks at the ideals of Star Trek as we voyage from one episode or film to the next, following a breadcrumb trail of motifs. How is the universe portrayed in Star Trek a truly egalitarian utopia, and how does the world subtly uphold the hegemonic values of our present day?

By the way, if you enjoy my toots and tools consider dropping me a tip. I'm a starve hacker 😏
I have a personal ko-fi in my boi and linked below 👇🏿
I use this for personal emergencies and to do mutual aid work in my community.
In return, I'll keep the fedi-verse full of posts about local news, breaking politics and nerd shit 🖤
If you're here for the nerdy hacker toys, consider donating to the Black hacker collective I founded with @rekcahdam. And be sure to follow our team accounts @dataparty + @rfparty
Donations made here go to helping us start a Black owned software company.
In return we're building open source linux mobile apps and games and need help getting off the ground so we can make more content and tools.
Just putting this out here: I've been working on #Forgejo for #Codeberg for the past couple of months, and am loving it. So much so, that I would like to do more of it, more than what Codeberg can pay me for.
So if anyone wishes to sponsor me (or knows any company or organization who might), to implement a particular feature, or fix something, or in general help them with anything Forgejo related, I'm available, please get in touch!
For reference, my work has been described as:
Long-standing issues are now finally resolved, and the progress feels like a rocket booster.
This is based on my the first two months of my work. I started out with only vague knowledge of Go and Forgejo. Imagine what I can do now that I'm much more familiar with both.
Anyhow, more information about my Forgejo-related work, and links to my resume, and other useful bits of information are available here.
Boosts appreciated!

Paradox confirm no Linux support for Prison Architect 2 but investigating Steam Deck
Prison Architect 2 from Double Eleven and Paradox Interactive was recently revealed with an entirely new look, and while the original has full Native Linux support, the sequel will not.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Last time I tried playing Stanley Parable, the 'native' Linux version just did not run for me.
Running the windows version using Proton, it ran flawlessly.
Basically, Proton is great, not sure why people have issues with "oh but it's not native so bla bla"

Remember the new @mozilla CEO whose first action was to post a link to her Linkedin profile?
Some said I was harsh that we should let her the benefit of doubt.
So here are the first true actions: firing 60 people working on useless products to focus the company on its true mission.
The useless products?

currently writing a mastodon bot thing in rust using megalodon
it is... a very okay API wrapper. for some reason it takes ownership of everything you pass into it in every API call, so you have to constantly clone string parameters, which is very much not in the vibe of rust.
i found elefren, which has a much nicer design and properly supports pagination (unlike megalodon), but it hasn't been updated in three years, and the upstream repo was deleted, so i can't really use that
i miss mastodon.py

@likeazir back when i set my instance up, almost everyone who was self-hosting ended up going with wasabi because they were really cheap
looking at backblaze's website, they seem to be about the same price as wasabi was back then, so either they used to cost more, or people just didn't know about them, which seems unlikely given how big a name they are
