…, it's JSON use make it more conceptually compatible with the rest of the world and various other things.
It's also a lot easier to write Varlink services than D-Bus, because it allows you to handle each connection in a different process, thus being compatible with codebases that do not have event loops (D-Bus due to its multiplexing forces you to process all messages within the same process, and due to the global ordering within a single event loop).
@risottobias @tchambers @pluralistic @Mastodon I don’t mind having multiple accounts on the federal verse. I have my Mastodon account, my WriteFreely instance, and a pixelfed account. I use them for very different things.
It would be super cool to see Mastodon doing more regarding app discoverability on mobile. I’m imagining a small logo on avatars to indicate which app a user is posting from.
@br00t4c Honestly, I would add MineCraft to the list.
I used to be staff on a fairly busy MineCraft server. To prevent players from tearing up our main 'world' in the game, we had an attached secondary 'resource world' where they could go to collect the blocks they needed to build and craft things.
It had to be replaced every three months or so because it would be depleted of blocks. When you'd teleport over there, the area around spawn would be this blasted, barren terrain with all the sand, grass, dirt and other common ground blocks stripped right down to bedrock as far as the eye could see.
Very effective demonstration of what unchecked plunder of natural resources can do to a beautiful, pristine area in a very short time.
@Instrument_Data @sundogplanets @Nichelle Yes, they are built to deorbit on a relatively few years. And break up in the atmosphere, releasing a lot of particulate materials. In the quantities we're now talking about this is likely to affect the ozone layer, among other things.
It's being studied now, but it would be smart for SpaceX to start making plans now for how satellites can be deorbitted less destructively, maybe even reused!
Daodejing ch 4:
The Way is so vast that when you use it, something is always left.
How deep it is!
It seems to be the ancestor of the myriad things.
It blunts sharpness
Untangles knots
Softens the glare
Unifies with the mundane.
It is so full!
It seems to have remainder.
It is the child of I-don't-know-who.
And prior to the primeval Lord-on-high.
I feel like I've pretty much given up the hope of Fediverse thriving for very long considering the current state of things.
It's just SO tiring to believe in something and have it ripped out from underneath you because you're not a billionaire.
We're back on corporate social media and most either don't seem to care or are turning a blind eye.
Zuck basically told the leaders here "I wanna kill this place, how much does that cost"
To which they replied "Faking it for awhile and this much money..."
😔I wanna talk to people on other platforms, not be controlled by them.
