@eff Like with all other EFF-created websites, it's REALLY well-polished. I don't even know where to begin...

@Jain and I thought I had very little sleep...

Saw this in mov.im and the first thing I thought of is... WHY DOESN'T THE FEDIVERSE HAVE THIS?!

I obviously don't know much about the XMPP microblogging implementation, but I saw that they did this and I think that this is how it *should* be done.

Making a simple opt-in mechanism is the ideal scenario.

@soop Special thanks to @Jain for the vectorized blobcat :)

@soop found it!

@soop I made a really cool one a while back, let me see if I can find it :)

Since getting a high quality audio file for it requires a soundcloud account... here's the audio file, have fun fedi :)

@me I think the best move would be to make it standardized and interoperable. If that ends up being how this goes I'll probably even add it to my ActivityPub implementation at some point in my neverending quest to make modules (plugins) for literally everything.

@me This looks really cool! Not sure how useful and effective it would be in practice though...

@drewdevault Yeah, that happens all the time.

For example, the Squirrel programming language (which uses the MIT license) is used in VScript, a proprietary Source engine scripting system by Valve.

This is exactly why copyleft matters!

I uploaded git bundles of the last Citra and Yuzu commits to archive.org:

- https://archive.org/details/yuzu_20240305_20240305_1640
- https://archive.org/details/citra_20240305_1643

You can simply download the git bundle files and run e.g. "git clone citra.bundle" to checkout the full source code on the latest commit.

Have fun! And, as always, fuck nintendo, and fuck DRM.

@SwindlerOfInsanity @fsf This is why I hate it when people say things like "[name of some free software program] SUCKS!!!"

You have the power to improve it! That's the entire point!

@ChrisFerguson @snarfed.org At best that's misleading, at worst it's propaganda.

The mentioned article:

- Makes it look like Evan Prodromou created ActivityPub. (which isn't true - in reality it was @erincandescent)
- Completely ignores the aspect of GDPR violations
- Downplays the role Jack Dorsey has in Bluesky
- Downplays the moderation issues with Bluesky, that, if bridged, would hurt fedi too.

TL;DR they need to take the L and leave

@fsf there's an FSF Jitsi server?!?!?!?!?!?!

@theresnotime That would probably be @Houl

@Jain I don't blame you...

AOSP is very different than typical embedded linux systems.

@Jain That's an understatement. Building AOSP is a rollercoaster, both digitally and emotionally.

This has taken all the way from last night to tonight. But now I have it built and running from scratch. Finally.
