  • Thanks for the goblin tools link, that site looks really helpful for breaking down big tasks into small steps!

  • The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don't expect to get in for like 2 weeks...

  • Spotify itself takes an even bigger cut

  • Eh.. no? Most free press is privately owned. Just not by billionaires who influence the content.

  • 1997 was before his big break. At this point, he was Rap Olympics famous, not signed to Dr. Dre famous.

  • Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

  • What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it's only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

  • Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

  • Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use "Person" instead of "Group". But idk the technical details for that.

  • So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

  • Closed for registrations = no instance user accounts

  • Given how other impactful contributors to the ActivityPub spec have been presenting their work in public vs how Evan does it, one can certainly get the impression that he is a bit self centered, yeah.

  • This Bix guy seems a bit butthurt.

    Like, I am sure there are dozens of definitions for what "social web" is and when it began. And that sentence about Evan surely is sus, but is one sentence on one foundations website. I'm still thinking that this foundation will be pretty irrelevant.

  • Given that the state-run media used to fearmonger with horror stories about Germans before Tusks party won the last election... I'd think it's only partly a joke. Tusk knows that there are Poles who still think Germans are all criminals (like vice versa in Germany).

  • I understand your sentiment, but you do realize that in the end someone has to pay to keep that space running, right?

  • I mean, whether this cartoon makes sense heavily depends on where you're at. In parts of Europe people choose to sleep on the streets even though they would get free sleeping places in social projects. (And they have their own reasons for that, and it's fine. But still: they have that option here, it's not like they are forced to sleep on the street).

  • So, are you considering AOC to be a neoliberal or to be a conservative?

  • Well exposure to different accents can make you understand these kind of things.
