@lapingvino Would rather just abandon Web 2.0 tbh and consider PWAs to be an antipattern. Would rather see a native ActivityPub/Streams app and it would be awesome if we could make the UI to be re-configurable as in email/forums/twitter/tweetdeck/brutaldon/IM/...
I have wanted to build a non-techie friendly static site CMS for awhile, but alas, I am lazy and distracted.
I do have something in vitro, as part of a larger project (all in #Elixir).
Plan is to create a SSG library called ssgex which implements a Haunt-like functional API. This library could be used standalone or in the web publishing frontend: kiew.

"Their roles are divided in a way that ensures less than a 1:1,000,000 chance that a group of conspirators could compromise the root-signing key, assuming a 5% dishonesty rate amongst these individuals. "
@ajroach42@suetanvil Documentation doesn't make money. Most customers will not bother to read it anyhow because of the distracted culture we live in -- distracted because of the computer-centric competition for our attention ("eyeballs"). It's a vicious cycle --reinforcing negative loop-- that we must break out of by nourishing the balancing loops.
@suetanvil@ajroach42 :thounking: The pace of development may be too frenetic on the whole. An #antifragile system likes small volatility but too much chaos at a local level will disrupt the global state.
The race for more features and bigger and faster computing devices may have blinded us to the human-centric usability successes. Since it will all be erased in 3 months because "break things fail fast," how cruel to ask for thoughtful documentation to be written.
@h yes! It's a small and sane target platform (~6000 lines in #Rust). #Ethereum developers are working on replacing their sorry-ass VM with the well-specified #WebAssembly VM - the project is called #eWASM.
It is not easy to understand, and after weeks of reading and discussing, it will hit you on successively deeper levels.
Bitcoin/Lightning will displace the current wasteful (mostly human-powered) and corrupt (faith and trust in fraudulent institutions) financial system. (The new system will make the old one obsolete.) That's why it's important.
Wow, #Slack is either nefarious or negligent, or both.
The "Unsubscribe" link in their marketing emails is broken (it is an HTML anchor tag with no HREF attribute), and in violation of the US CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which states:
> A visible and operable unsubscribe mechanism is present in all emails.
What's worse (and unsurprising): they hide the email settings behind layers of UI obfuscation.
Hard to explain why or how I think the #Meltdown and #Spectre vulnerabilities are hilarious.
It's kinda like a bad joke.
Oops, we accidentally your CPU. Solution: replace CPU
I think it's the conceit of these institutions.
They took shortcuts and optimized one factor at the cost of the others. Maybe it's that #complexity is a real problem and people assume it will work itself out somehow. 🤷♂️
It's an important lesson for the future of computing.
"The #Dymaxion Chronofile is #BuckminsterFuller's attempt to document his life as completely as possible. He created a very large scrapbook in which he documented his life every 15 minutes from 1920 to 1983. The scrapbook contains copies of all correspondence, bills, notes, sketches, and clippings from newspapers. The total collection is estimated to be 270 feet (80 m) worth of paper. This is said to be the most documented human life in history."
