Probes.dev has launched! If you're a small team or independent developer and need affordable web service monitoring, sign up for a free 14-day trial today.

Limeleaf Worker Collective@limeleaf.coop

Uptime monitoring tools have too many features, confusing pricing, and aren't built for small teams or indies. So we built probes.dev. Add a URL, we ping it, and we tell you when it's acting flaky or goes down. $5 a month gets you 5 probes w/ status pages. Start probing today!

Koyaanisqatsi is the better film. Powaqqatsi is the better soundtrack. Does anybody even remember Naqoyqatsi?

We're building a new thing.

Limeleaf Worker Collective@limeleaf.coop

At Limeleaf, we #buildinpublic. probes.dev will be simple, affordable web service monitoring for solo hackers and small teams. #Developers - are we on the right track here? Missing anything? Would you pay $5/month to monitor 5 sites and/or API endpoints? Tell us in the comments. #webdev

www.reuters.com/business/ene... "I struggle, like everybody else does, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little," Miller said. "That's been totally lost in this country, people's willingness to sacrifice." Joe Biden asked you to wear paper masks to prevent killing old people and you…oh, never mind.

I love a #podcast, but, as usual, there is much wisdom in what Nick Cave says.

When I worked at Google, we all got Pixels. ChromeOS was useless then, so I installed Linux instead. Incredible. It was fast, perfect keyboard, and the 240-DPI 3:2 display was a revelation (more laptops should be 3:2!). I stumbled across one today for 1/12th the original price. 😂 #linux #recycle

Why is Arc the only browser that can sync tabs correctly??

This is a brilliant idea and long overdue. "The OpenCourier protocol opens up opportunities for delivery workers to own the platforms that manage their livelihoods." platform.coop/blog/toward-...

Henhouse is in beta!

Limeleaf Worker Collective@limeleaf.coop

Any web #hosting company will rent you space on their servers. At Henhouse Computing Cooperative, you *own* the server. You also get a vote in how the service is run and share of any profits. Now taking beta testers at henhouse.coop.

Heard for the first time today: “Find us on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.” Incredible how quickly they crushed Apple and Spotify in #podcasts.

This is some wild shit.

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

Did you know that Maximum Fun is a worker-owned co-op? Hell yeah. In honor of #MayDay, throw them a few sheckles. #coops

Yay, Disperse!

Co-ops: they aren't only for crunchy grocery stores and dairy farmers! In this episode, we talk about how to create (or convert) your tech startup as a co-op that is owned by the people who do the work. Give it a listen!

Extra! Extra! A new episode of the Limeleaf Podcast has taken to the ether. Stephen Giordano from Interstitial Technology and Ethan Winn from Obran Cooperative join us to talk about one of our favorite topics: worker #coops! Tune in now at limeleaf.coop/podcast/epis... !

#ATmosphere please make an app that creates easy-to-embed web forms that post responses to your PDS instead of a random startup's database. (Yes, I know PDS data is public, but permissioned data soon, yada yada...) I lack the coding skills to build this app, and I find coding with AI exhausting. 🙏

Some of the cruelest mfers on Earth.

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

I want to make a numbered chart, a la the Sgt. Pepper's Wikipedia entry, identifying which Ivy League university each of these Very Smart People holds a degree from, but I have no artistic talent. And I am lazy.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

TIL that if you enable Settings > General > Storage > Store in #iCloud on a #Mac, it magically frees up many GBs of local disk space. 😊

I feel seen.
