@liztai it's really very interesting and charming - my in-laws and wife always use "kuali" to refer to a wok, no matter which language they're speaking in. I'm not sure if they know the Mandarin word for it - I sure don't!

WHY WAS IT CALLED SINGLE-SIGN ON WHEN SIGN-ON 37 TIMES PER DAY WAS RIGHT THERE

@jef when you think about it it’s pretty wild that we have strict limits on the max speed of an e-bike but literally anyone can get a license and buy a car that can do a buck fifty.

@inthehands I read the post, and I think that the arguments for improving governance only work for medium-large projects. Like Prometheus and larger. That’s probably also the limit where large-scale extraction happens, and also where licensing works to counter extractive behavior. Licensing probably
Doesn’t change much for smaller OSS projects.

@inthehands I increasingly think that copyleft licenses are the only good way we’ve got against Extraction, but it will probably also reduce the contributor base substantially.

@jon I'm not terribly comfortable with the idea of the government knowing about literally all of my assets and cash flows. Is that really how it is in Norway?

I'm fine with the mandatory reporting requirements in the US though (things like capital gains and interest reporting), which is generally enough to fill in a tax return properly, and the USGOV has it.

@liztai Penang should demand a turn and just send … some person from Snake Temple or something.

Just saw a bible verse cast in metal letters on a church building, and the letters were in Comic Sans

@inthehands I’m sure some instances never “unlimited” from then, but ours also recently limited mas.to or something like that

@inthehands I think our instance got limited by a bunch of others / limited a few big ones, so we’re not showing up in so many federated feeds
