@GossiTheDog Anybody can run a server, but if you are going to get hundreds of thousands of blind followers logging on, and will be promoting the server in other media, it will cost millions. And as someone else says here, if you don't have the spoons to do it yourself, others will charge.

@simonbp @HighlandLawyer @abstractcode @cstross It's funny how all the alternative histories seem like they would be better than the current one.

@evan There is nothing to learn from this; the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

@evan You've done some daft polls, but for crying out loud....

@evan Ask yourself this: Do you trust me? Well, do you, punk?

@trwnh @evan Totally agree. The /create/ wrapper around any object is technically redundant anyway, as all the information, including creation date and attribution, is in the object itself.

@GossiTheDog I know they are denying it, but I find it hard to believe this isn't a case of deliberate sabotage.

@GossiTheDog US politics feels old and stale. It needs a bright young thing to come along with new energy and fresh ideas about making life itself nicer for American people. Someone who sees guns and the constitution as relics of someone else's generation.

@GossiTheDog 'Precision AI.' 😂

I'm currently going through the pain of ActivityPubbing my blog. The single thought that is screaming out at me right now is, 'If we want to encourage a web of independent micro-servers, we must do more to help each other get the protocols right.'

I really think there ought to be the means in AP to send diagnostic information back to a sender if a receiver can't work with a given message, like, 'You didn't give me an inbox.'

Am I alone in these thoughts?

@GossiTheDog Ok. I respect your authority on this subject and admire your work, but I think you are being a little naive here. We'll see where we are in ten years' time!

@GossiTheDog Come on, anybody with eyes knows where they are going.

@GossiTheDog Rubbish. This is nothing to do with software not being tested, but the pure arrogance of a company on an insidious path to steal every scrap of data from its entire clientele, including potential rival businesses and take-over targets.

@aral I like your attitude. I haven't got past the approach of, “Please pay my rent and buy me a nice car,” and, no, I haven't managed to secure any funding either. https://rdmp.org/splat if you want to know.

@GossiTheDog I beg to differ; society began to collapse when Dr Who and the Green Death went out.

@GossiTheDog I'm sure the finder is basking in kudos right now! Good on them.

@cstross @lonjil @hko The problem is X was architected around a single standard: VGA graphics provided by the system BIOS. But in this day and age monitors are driven by many different combinations of microprocessor extensions, graphics cards, and operating system facilities, and they are not to a single standard. It is unfortunately necessary to break everything to fix it again, and Wayland is an architecture which can work across the spectrum of modern display devices...

@cstross @lonjil @hko Yeh, sorry, I made a crap post there. Was trying to put across that it was designed to run on a system with *one* graphics sub-system, not several possibly disparate ones, but never mind my parabolicism.

@peertube @NGIZero @EC_NGI I'm becoming something of a fan of NGIZero--there's lots of good stuff happening because of it.
