@freakazoid yeah, because they build and test on a single architecture.

Could be an advantage of Apple's rumored switch to ARM on their desktops, at least then most Electron Apps would be tested on a couple arch's.

@freakazoid wasn't that the ia64 design?

Intel wasn't able to make that work because everyone wants backwards compatibility. Nobody will recompile anything.

@federicomena I'm now curious if you match time-of-day as well, if people could align maps and find themselves on them faster. Just because you'd look around and see the same thing as what is on the map.

Now all I need is a development team and some user experience testers...

@federicomena would be amazing to adjust based on your lat & lon.

I guess that'll happen when you download all the data and everything is rendered locally.

@anildash toot like nobody is listening!

@sophie I think it still feels active if you're getting notifications, but most people won't count those if it's much work. When the platform starts counting and building a metric for them then people can easily start comparing and optimizing that metric.

@danrabbit did it make the grinds back into whole beans?

@mathowie that sounds very cool, but I'm not sure how to do that. Did you hack the URL to find that feed?

@ryangorley @freehive I'm much less likely to misspell this name. You shoulda seen how long it took me to find your address fighting with Google maps 😉

Trying out the new Mycroft voice in my Picrofts and I have to say it is MUCH better. Even asking it to sing a song is more fun.

Sorry @popey, I've moved on to another voice.

@garrett we've been discussing keyboards in chat and... it is crazy the number of options, I'd no longer be surprised.

This is where I am right now: https://datamancer.com/product/the-sojourner-keyboard/

This looks like the most delicious way to type.

@platypus those are all really useful things built into most shells.

One of the things that really raised the usefulness of the command line for me was learning about the command `xargs`, which allows you to run a command on every line that is piped into it. Makes automating some very manual tasks much easier.

@freakazoid yeah, and Propublica called them out on it. They kept it up.

Went to go register bird.site -- and it's available!

Hmm, $2,800 per year isn't worth it. Not that funny.

@Karlitschek is end-to-end encryption still planned to be stable in 14? I very much want to ditch Cryptomator.

@Edent you might also find this article by @Gargron useful: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

@Edent I unfortunately don't know enough PHP for that.

Generally speaking the outbox is easy, it's basically the same as your RSS feed but in JSON. The hard part is handing new followers (putting them into a list) and then sending them all a message on new entries.

@Edent that's very cool.

I noticed you have a Twitter feed of new benches, is there an ActivityPub one as well?

Would be very cool if you could follow a bench as well, perhaps check in or reply with updated pictures.
