just found out KDE connect works through Wireguard :)

doing development on Windows is... frustrating to say the least

new motto:

"Just fork it my guy, live that open source life."

when I'm in the market for a laptop and if they have an AMD model at that time, this will be my go-to

anyone who cares about tech should be aware of the Framework laptop that's coming out. it's modular, lightweight, this, and good looking.

Windows is so loud

I think these are good ideas because they give power to the original source: the sellers, producers, artists. but it also allows them to not have to build their own website, an especially good point for smaller accounts. there could also be some creative uses of accounts: maybe one profile on the federated shopping site could follow brands that produce ethical goods. one could follow brands that supports the yellow economic circle. etc etc. AND it allow you to more easily support local things

the only issue here is with abusive clients. since federation allows for different clients (apps) to be used to access the information, an abusive app could download the movies /music/etc illegally for sharing or even profit. this can be mitigated by sellers/artists/producers only allowing certain apps, or perhaps blacklisting certain apps instead (in order to allow the user to have more choice). this issue could probably also be solved in other ways, this is just one idea.

federated movies: one could subscribe to different streaming sites with the same account. otherwise this is pretty similar to federated music.
