Tangram is a browser for your pinned tabs. What this means is that I can put all my frequently visited websites in an app and have the ability to view them all with great ease. Before I was signing into everything each time I needed to check it but now I just switch to my workspace that has tangram open. I use mine for email, discord, and matrix. As a tab hoarder it's also quite nice in how it clears up many of my tabs.

I'm going to keep this short but I just fell down the rabbithole of crypto again and maybe it isn't as bad as I thought. Many of their ideas are very similar to the fediverse's. The idea of decentralized finance using a stablecoin sounds awesome to me. (though i'd much prefer to live in a world where money isn't needed) Maybe the technology is actually good but the techbros and scammers ruin it with their false promises and complicated words. Hopefully, in a few years after the rest of those scammers have moved on to scamming with AI this tech could be truly used for meaningful purposes.

A great read+great magazine.

AI Generated TL;DR (tldrthis.com):

Cycling is the most sustainable form of transportation, but the bicycle is becoming increasingly damaging to the environment.
Before the 1980s, most bicycle components were interchangeable between frames of different brands and generations.
An academic study on circularity in the bike manufacturing industry observes a significant increase in defective components compared to unassisted bicycles and concludes that “the great dynamics of the market due to regular innovations, product renewals, and the lack of spare parts for older models make the long-term use by customers much more difficult than for conventional bicycles.”
However, a recent study calculated the lifecycle emissions of a carbon fiber electric cargo cycle to be 80 gCO2 per kilometer – only half those of an electric van (158 gCO2/km).
The decreasing sustainability of bikes is not a technological problem, and it’s not unique to bicycles.
However, shared bicycles are unlikely to become more sustainable than private bicycles because they always require rebalancing and a high-tech infrastructure to make the service work.

Looking for collaborators to create a new instance of Lemmy (current technology plan, subject to change). Among other things, this instance will differ from existing ones by having a self-governing structure. Check out the rough draft linked below to learn about our vision for this community. No specific skills needed, but please read through the concept outline before getting in touch via DM or comments. Join us in creating a unique and innovative platform. Currently we have one other person helping and another 2 who may be interested. Would love if you could add to that list :)

IMO it's just so much more usable than any other client. Also looks way better.

Pretty sweet google docs alternative

It seems like an actually good alternative to activitypub. What are your thoughts?
