My dad who is 81 recently got into trouble cause the app where he pays his bills decided that his phone is too old.
He has a fully functional phone that’s a couple of years old but he now needs to throw it away because of software.
I think this is bullshit.

All right. With a slight delay, I also have to show you my picture of Thursday morning's supermoon. Sorry. 🙃

Cory Doctorow explains why you have to evaluate supporting Facebook very succinctly here @pluralistic:
"10% of Meta's gross revenue comes from ads for fraudulent goods and scams, and; the company knows it, and; they decided not to do anything about it, because; the fines for facilitating this life-destroying fraud are far less than the expected revenue from helping to destroy its users' lives:"

The road to Nirvana is long

but I’ll go with you, Mister Sugata.
I like to think I get the need for incremental, or needs-based, teachings. Maybe I do, anyway: it resonates me.

There's lots of things to work out. I'll start by turning this thread into a blog post, expand on it a bit, and publish it. I'll aim that for December 8th - a few weeks after iocaine 3.0, giving me enough time to ease into this new project, and present it in a... better way than this little toot storm.
@algernon just be sure to accept donations; I think that the whole powered-by-spite angle is very inspiring and you might even get people chipping in who don't use the service

@algernon not to distract you but one other thing that could make it easier to self-host would be to put it in an apt repository
I have done some (extremely non-compliant) packaging of stuff written in a language I have no idea how to use with my gotosocial package up on https://apt.technomancy.us and I'd be willing to give it a shot with iocaine too if you think it's a good idea but I have no idea how rust works; is it possible to build iocaine using the rust stuff that comes with debian stable or do you need 3rd-party packages?
