Discussion

@rileytestut @Gargron @kyva wow thats amazing, thank you for the clarification! I was trying to figure out the split between what was donated to all the other fedi projects, and I saw on Open Collective you gave 10k to Akkoma and 500 monthly to Fedify. Are the other amounts public somewhere?

@jackwilliambell @neia

This is likely not what you seek in terms of simplicity, but I wanted to mention in the context of earlier discussion on #ActivityPub JSON-LD versus #RDF XML.

The #openEngiadina project for a long time pursued an ActivityPub-based implementation for its open local knowledge network, but found it too complex, esp. in the areas where the specs are immature and incomplete.

So the research project switched to #XMPP/RDF and had some good experiences.

Here on our debian archive repo, we used iocaine to send random strings of French words without meaning to AI

And now that I see your message I wonder if iocaine could generate code 😅

@vantablack It's one of the banes of having long hair. You can kiiiiind of get away with having it braided for a few days, but it'll start looking pretty terrible by day two or three (within a day if it's fine hair), though it might be a bit easier to brush it out. (Adding styling products to keep it smoothed down always makes it look even worse too IMO, and always made my scalp super itchy even if they were supposed to be safe to leave in.)

re-normalize direct download and manual installation (aka side-loading) of software on our mobile microcomputers.

mobile phones are microcomputers with telephony.

we should have a right to the root directory of our microcomputers ―to install any software we want―, just as with our laptop and desktop computers.

@jbz what happened?

“What makes the Market for Lemons concept so appealing is that everyone can be acting reasonably, pursuing their own interests, and things still get worse for everyone.”

This captures a lot of what I’ve been thinking about lately regarding tech and systems of incentives
