@macgirvin In the end, with postActiv, I'm probably going to end up redoing everything in some respect. There's a lot of just crufty stuff that's hardcoded (for lack of a better term) in that needs to go out. It'll be a fair bit of work and given my health probably at least a few months out, but its something I'm chipping away at when I get some productive time.

@macgirvin Basically, my concern is that I want people to be able to bring their whole presence wherever they want to go, that supports our methods anyways. So by that I mean not just the user account, the shell if you will, but all of the content, media, etc as well.
That's a little dicier to do alright in some senses, and easier in others. Ideally, I'd like to see something truly peer-to-peer, but in spite of some enthusiasm from others, I think we're a fair way out from that. Until we get that far, we need to ensure that server operators can have sensible restrictions about what users take with them, and some protection that they're not bringing anything illegal onto their door stop.
I suppose in the end the problem there is more social/legal than technical, but still needs some thinking.

@purplehippo Almost like Epic was just trying to buy their way into a market position

@ninjawedding The scot in me wants to point out this is Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge), not Gaelic Gaelic (Gàidhlig).

@macgirvin Admittedly I come at that from the angle of ostatus and the lot of everyone who takes a dump on GNU social, but a lot of people seem to take the "move fast and break things" approach and disparage more mature projects. These newer projects don't seem to ask themselves if there's perhaps a reason people did things a certain way.
I have to admit I have a particular aversion to ActivityPub because while its branded as the new hotness, it fixes none of OStatus's problems and adds some new ones of it's own. It's overspecified in places that don't matter (why do we care what format a time is in as long as we can decipher it?) and underspecified in the places that matter (what exactly is an actor object?) It's a hot mess, and I'm tired of people asking me to implement it. I'm not interested - it'd just be adding problems to postActiv without any benefits (unless you count "being part of the cool kid's club", but I don't.) I guess I'm preaching to the choir here, but if we truly care about making a decentralized network, nomadic identity and distributed media are the two problems we have to figure out. The latter is more complicated in the controls side than it is in the actual implementation, since we don't need to be hosting kiddie porn and the like.

Nothing makes me peace out of Youtube videos quicker than those inserted "sponsorship" ads.

@purplehippo Five feet by four feet five feet by four feet five feet by four feet five feet by four feet

@purplehippo There's always some discretion involved in what I consider just panhandling and what's people like artists looking for support, and occasionally I reconsider and unsandbox one or two of them, but at the end of the day, I want to avoid TWKN becoming just spam.

@bob What they're consider violent is disrespect towards their station. The upper class is obsessed with respectability politics.
-
@mangeurdenuage I don't hate him because of the money he makes, I hate him because he claims to be something he is not, and claims to be doing something which he is not. In short, I hate him because he is dishonest.
This kind of thread happens because of the dishonesty he has demonstrated, leading people to perceive one thing when in fact another is the case.

@bob @maloki @lapis @lexi @lyliawisteria @starbreaker It's also hard to carry out because union bosses just care about their own paycheque, and not anyone elses. Large unions with single or only a few leaders = only a few people they have to corrupt to quash labour movements. We see this especially in Canada where some unions are required membership by law such as the teacher's union (CUPE) or the Public Servant's union. You also see a version of this with the competent persons scheme in the UK, its all about profitability, and the pretense of being for the worker or consumer has been almost dropped in particular. NAPIT in the UK is in particular one big serial offender.
-
@bob Oh, it's violence, but its violence so mild that only the upper class would be making a big fuss about it.
-
@mangeurdenuage He makes his money by appealing to upper middle class twits with more money than sense, so its hard to feel any sympathy when they complain. He's getting paid 2x what the average person in my country makes, fuck him.
-
It's always kinda funny, disturbing, and distressing in equal measure when we see the mystical thinking that surrounds things we take for granted, like the ridiculous ritual around signing root keys or the mad science superstition around how to handle the "perfect kilogram" (which due to metal corrosion and instability is anything but perfect anymore)

Is LiberaPay still trying to make recipients sit out the 30d chargeback period before they get money?
-
"Time to move to Canada" How about you fuck off and keep your shithole politics in your shithole.

@mangeurdenuage I hope she recovers, or if not, they can at least get it under control and make it manageable.

I wish things could stop hurting

@hellojed Steam greenlight is dead, though

@bob @elizafox Even if they aren't, if they are a virtuous person, the enemies of this organization will have a single point to attack, in attempting to discredit the organization. Which is exactly what happened with Assange, though I suspect there's a lot of truth to the allegations around him. An org like Wikileaks having a central leader or head like Assange is a single point of failure.
