@futurebird @mcc I was so mad when I went into walgreens last year and they were selling "rainbow disney" things and they didn't even say pride, just "rainbow"

cowards

As someone who really dislikes the mega-containerization approach and has been unhappy about it since Docker came in with a splash about a decade ago, I'm happy to see a pretty well written criticism of the idea that conatiner systems like Flatpak, Docker, etc are doing a good job of making things easier or more secure for users or devs. They aren't. https://blog.brixit.nl/developers-are-lazy-thus-flatpak/

So here's me speaking favorably about Debian, Arch, Guix, Nix, etc. And all of those can use Guix or Nix as a userspace package manager.

But lord have mercy. Don't use these mega black box systems. You're just accruing a gigabyte sized ball of technical debt for every component in your operating system if you use those.

A lot of this stuff got out of hand because Nix and Guix *didn't* exist for a long time, and thus the easiest way to do things was to develop a language-specific package manager which bypassed the underlying distro, but none of those compose, and hence containerization as a way to make things "easier"

That thread where 50 people jump in and say "I used to self-host my own email but it's become impossible because it's effectively centralized now and I couldn't reliably deliver mail anymore, it sucks, I gave up, I didn't want to" and that one guy steps in and says "it works for me did you configure DKIM did you configure it"

Look we take privacy and security importantly in Spritely and we're building networked tech. Whatever this "IRC" protocol they're showing seems unbeatable. We are pivoting to this, throw all that other research we've been doing in the fucking garbage

(Real talk I do love IRC, for other reasons, tho. Thank you libera admins)

@dysfun are they the same

@dysfun ActivityPub, that also seems cool. Could someone explain both ActivityPub and IRC to me

Had to show the Spritely engineering team the l337 haxx0rs IRC scene from Numb3rs this morning and we all watched it as a group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ

I'm a good boss making productive use of employee time

@mia serial experiments "you missed the point of lain"

remember, it's always awesome in the beginning when the only people using your thing are the curated set of people who care deeply about that thing

am I doing this right am I trans now

Me and @mlemweb both

Lying down, hewwo
