> What at first began as peaceful mass demonstrations has sparked sporadic violence, with protestors setting fire to buildings and damaging property, and police spraying crowds with rubber bullets and water cannons.

Could someone who's not a fascist please teach liberals the difference between property damage and violence?

My ideal is an open-ended, highly configurable design with an interesting set of defaults and a robust user community contributing templates or otherwise documenting configuration recipes. This comes from a game design space informed by *nix design principles, which is to provide simple primitives from which people can composite emergent behaviors

And...

Also, WhatsApp isn't the first time that a big 5 tech company took a huge userbase built on XMPP and gave the community the finger

Among the things that ActivityPub can do is provide discovery mechanisms for communicating about capabilities and bootstrapping key exchanges. I've seen indications that's something the Pleroma devs would like to do with XMPP

They did have a lot of 80486 chips fail QC for the FPU early in the release history of the chip, but eventually demand for the chip with the lower price point exceeded the defect rate so chips were diverted from the line and the FPUs disabled instead of tested. It was absolutely infuriating, but that's not late stage capitalism

Late stage capitalism is the 80487. The support chipset for the 486sx came with a socket for a math coprocessor. The 487 was actually a 486dx with 80487sx silkscreened on it. When seated in the coprocessor socket, the 487 took over all CPU function, but only if a 486sx was detected in the system

Wish him sweet dreams 😂

I would've loved it if Wave had succeeded as free software

I also know that we're rebuilding on AP some things that are already available on XMPP, e.g. Salud a Toi already does what ForgeFed will. I'll be reimplementing a game this year that worked over XMPP 15 years ago

There's also the risk that GNUnet could work someday and we'll end up reimplementing these things again in Psyc 2.0 over GNUnet, but that's a risk I'm willing to take

And Grouchy is a relatable mood
