@foxhkron @JonQuan @verygoodsoftwarenotvirus @tuxcrafting Imagine thinking that the problem with having to recompile code to change basic settings is how long it takes, instead of the fact that it requires diving into code, interrupting service, and that it makes offering Pleroma hosting to non-technical users using containerization much more challenging.

@JonQuan @verygoodsoftwarenotvirus @foxhkron @tuxcrafting The "85% more efficient" number is questionable, I'd like to see those benchmarks and what they are measuring. Yes, Ruby has a higher RAM upfront cost (though less with jemalloc), but not by that much, and it has a ceiling. Pleroma uses PostgreSQL just like Mastodon, and that will be your main bottleneck.

@JonQuan @verygoodsoftwarenotvirus @foxhkron @tuxcrafting That's not quite true. For example, to an outside observer like me, it is obvious Pleroma does not have a non-JavaScript UI, and no OpenGraph previews.

From a cursory glance at the code, it seems like Pleroma does not support two-factor authentication. There are probably many more details that you don't even realize are missing. Profile metadata fields? New user tutorials?

How's changing server settings without recompiling code? Etc

@JonQuan @verygoodsoftwarenotvirus @foxhkron @tuxcrafting Putting a different JavaScript frontend doesn't mean you get new features. It just looks different. Mastodon works with any UI, like Pinafore, Toot!, Halcyon, etc.

I was looking for access to a client's old phone system, and the manual had this gem:

@Bells
Women: Trans people have never
attacked anyone in a restroom
before - it's really not something
we're worried about.

Republicans: It doesn't matter! We
need to keep WOMEN SAFE from
SEXUAL ASSAULT at ALL COSTS!

Women: We need to do something
about the disturbing number of
rapes on college campuses.

Republicans: Have you tried not
dressing like a slut?

Here is an interesting thought to post to a mastodon instance. From Dmytri Kleiner via P2P Foundation:

"Going back to an early Internet architecture of cooperative, decentralized servers, as projects such as Diaspora, GNU Social, and others are attempting to do, will not work. This is precisely the sort of architecture that anti-disintermediation was designed to defeat. Decentralized systems need to be designed to be counter-anti-disintermediationist."

@wu_lee
I have been involved in coops for 20 years and have mentors who've been involved in coops since the 70s. I struggle to point to examples of coops being forces for broader radical sociopolitical *systemic* change. I'm all ears/eyes if you know of any. But effecting sociopolitical change is not some thing that is "baked" into the cooperative structure and that is why I call for an accompanying explicitly political project.

Also, any one who invokes the absolute hokum that is the "tragedy of the commons" immediately drops tremendously in my estimation. Goo👏🏾gle👏🏾E👏🏾li👏🏾nor👏🏾Ost👏🏾rom👏🏾. SHEEEE-IT!

🇬🇧 Hey, y'all!
Starting now, we're replacing twitter mentions with https://twitter.activitypub.actor! This will make mentions, such as @renatolond more natural than they are right now!

Let me know of any issues!

Huge thanks to @David

🇧🇷 Oi, povo! A partir de agora estamos substituindo menções do twitter com https://twitter.activitypub.actor! Isso vai fazer com que as menções, como @renatolond mais naturais do que são agora.

Me avisem de qualquer problema!

Muito obrigado à @David

Probably if I had a real community of flesh-and-blood humans that I could commiserate with and swap stories with, I'd feel a lot more enthusiastic about my side projects. But as is, I can see my interest starting to slack. There's no substitute for real human connection.

So that's my pitch for why we need a decent tech meetup in Seattle. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. *drops slides on the floor, awkwardly picks them back up*

Maybe there's something to be said for getting a lot of smart people into the room to talk about tech in a fun and accessible and forward-looking way. It helps promote a sense of optimism, that we can pick up these tools and build something grand with them together.

On Mastodon, I think I spend too much time promoting a sense of embattlement, of "aha, here's how to block ads/trackers," or "aha, here's all the awful things <tech company> is doing." I act like we're all under siege.

@PINE64 welcome to the fediverse! :blobpats:

"Every time you write code or introduce third-party services, you are introducing the possibility of failure into your system. I have far more faith in xargs than I do in Hadoop." http://widgetsandshit.com/teddziuba/2010/10/taco-bell-programming.html (/via @affanzbasalamah) #TacoBellProgramming

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
