Time will tell.
For now, activity pub isn't better than email and we all know how that went.
Yes in theory (technically), one can self host, but in practice, email is gmail & co.

People lose their accounts because mismanaged or other unexpected instance shutdowns all the time ...and mastodon.social is already large and growing.

RSS/Atom or rather JSON Feed on the other hand lends itself to peer to peer by design 🙂

@nf3xn @davepeck @davew @brentsimmons

i heard there are ways to set up your self hosted email in ways that it works.
@whitequark shared how its possible, but still. Its too hard for normies and hasnt happened as a mass phenomena in the past 30 years.

@tchambers

there is nothing ready - the questiin is what is the right approach.

pods are federated. you chose and maybe transition to a different pod provider, but either ways, its always just one pod provider and if people dont want to risk their data they better use a big secure pod provider so they can trust they do proper backups and wont unexpectedly shutting down. this happens often with fediverse instances

@tchambers

the proper way out would be "public key addressed" data, where a "pod provider" is similar to a "bittorrent seeder" making sure the dataset is available, but no pod provider is authoritative and more providers means more safety/redundancy/protection against any single provider ceasing their service.

a keypair ownwr could always sign new updates to their existing datasets.

this exists in dat @dat_ecosystem which started in 2013, but without more funding things move slow

@tchambers imho he had his fame and chances and was the director of the w3c for a long time but failed to design the right protections. his latest project solid pods takes a lot of attention away from much better projects that actually could deliver what solid pods cant. So while problems are obvious - the big question is more like where to look for solutions 🤷♀️

@mezzodrinker @kaia

I take strongly on, that that means that we finally gramatically correct write could.

@leaverou Feels a bit misleading. The headline suggests that the same single person makes most of open source.

@alcinnz
interesting.

i am quite happy when i encounter JS, that said - vanillaJS, not typescript, not one of the many in need for transpilation dialects and templating framework languages, but raw vanilla JS.

what do you prefer instead? 🙂

@alcinnz you might not need javascript. who needs anything, but why not embrqce javascript? 🙂

@bhaugen
I am german and my friends dad has had a copy of "Das Kapital". i have read many excerpts and summary and looked up stuff and skimmed through it, but havent read it in its entirety cover to cover. why? 🙂

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

The issue is not just that the capitalist class has all the money, which is true. They have also the money printers.

So IF we start successful unions or worker coops or mutual aid networks or all of it and create in alternative ways - as soon as that becomes **actually** threatening, they will use their money printer to print as much as is needed to pay insane salaries to folks who help capitalists. They will pay enormous amounts to campaign against

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

They will create companies with fake stories that pretend to be just as "alternative" as the real unions, worker coops, mutual aid networks, etc...

They will offer the same products and services **at any loss** to prevent people from buying from the new real alternative so they can starve those alternatives... and so on.

If capitalists can print money, there is no way to win, but once that privilege is gone, you can finally outcompete them

@Zackstarkid @fleeky @bhaugen @powersource

I'm not saying bitcoin **is the solution**. It is far from it. I perceive it as a first step to have a currency that is NOT controlled by the capitalists and where everyone is the same - no special class of printer people.

And then we STILL need all the mutual aid, worker coops, etc... to replace the crap capitalist economy we currently have, but every inch won cant be undone just by printing money, so capitalists will lose at some point then :-)

@jlepawsky @pluralistic

So MMT says governments and banks print to enrich the rich folks.

the billionaires like musk and bezos, but also the corrupt multimillionaire politicians and their lobbyost friends.

That causes inflation for all of us so we cant pay for houses and barely groceries and rent.

When there is too much noney in circulation, they tax us, taking it from everyone.

MMT sounds like justifying a scam to me 🤔

wasnt it taxes were meant to pay for stuff?

@bhaugen @strypey

@bhaugen @strypey

she is the coolest 😁

the last few nappies where clean. every time we change nappies we hold her over a potty and now she keeps everything until she is abovw the pottyn so nappy stays quite dry most of the times now .... even though she is only 12 weeks.

wasnt planned, but i guess offering her the potty consistently and she knowing that it gets uncomfortable in her nappy otherwise, she seemed to have figured out this strategy 😂

@bhaugen @strypey

we will see. for now the baby doesnt need much.
food is always with us.
nappies can be bought anywhere.
we got a mobile changing mat from osprey...
we got a carrier/sling to "wear" the baby on our body ...what else do you need?

our little girl is just ~12 weeks old, so eh... i guess the rest has to be figured out when we get there 🙂

I am so excited about the latest prototype of this wearable split keyboard 😁

Here is a little update

This is the hand attachement

And here is the wearable keyboard you attach to it
