@evan This reminds me of this https://aaronland.info/weblog/2024/04/26/matrix/#usf

> SFO Museum has written it's own limited ActivityPub server implementation and we have, in fact, created an ActivityPub account – a social media, account – for every object in our collection.

@evan In a way, but “tipping” to me suggests small amounts (say < $10), while I can think of good/long content where I'd give more.

@evan Micropayments. Ideally after perusing the content: free to access, but with an unobtrusive way to give a nominal or user-chosen amount just for this content. The money should be prepaid somehow, so I don't need to worry about it.

I think paying at the end could help drive quality content, instead of clickbait, which only needs to get you in, not be good. For everything, including, e.g., movies: great trailer but meh full movie -> no/low tip.

Flattr was most of the way there, I think, save for widespread-enough adoption.

@liw bullet journalling WoRo: write often, read occasionally

@ploum le mec de ghostbusters? 🤔 @brunus @therealjulienhirt

@_elena Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V should work the vast majority of the time, no? I find I only need to add Shift in terminal applications.

@cwebber Side adventure: is email federated by that definition?

@slothrop I looked up “product vision”, and you're right, I shouldn't have.

@bortzmeyer Le problème c'est que pour un article correct relayé 10 fois, il y a 10, voire 100 articles à la va-vite relayés une fois.

Et ça empire. Je me suis trouvé plusieurs fois ces dernières semaines à lire des débuts de pages, et à me dire que même les infos de base ne semblent pas alignés avec ce que je sais déjà du sujet. Donc voila des articles pas du tout écrits... par des humains, tout au moins.

@evan 2--5 based on which _accounts_ I have, ignoring any automatic aliases following `-` or `+` in the `local-part`

Also, a rant: https://blog.narf.ssji.net/2012/12/11/valid_email_address_characters/

@bortzmeyer Classe 3 et 4, c'est celles dans l'espace d'adressage étendu de 256 a 512, et 513 à 768. Ça utilise des bits plus forts, donc la puissance d'adressage augmente.

Et je croyais que tu savais réseauter.

> "I just worry we're going to have a generation of kids who have a post-acute infection syndrome because we failed to protect them," Dr Putrino says, "because we told this lie over and over again that kids have nothing to worry about with COVID."

The myth that COVID is 'harmless' for kids has left millions of children with long COVID invisible. Here's what they want you to know https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-16/children-with-long-covid-dismissed-doctors-myth-virus-harmless/103959078 via @wallabagapp

@pewnack Yep. ME/CFS and Long COVID have a lot of overlap and common symptoms. In a way, higher numbers might put more pressure on researching and understanding them better.

But we know what causes this surge, and nothing is done to control this new cause.

@lanodan The difference between an open decentralised protocol and a proprietary centralised service.

I was musing about how, when ICQ is off, that's it. It will be a pain to recreate the experience at scale. Protocols, you can reimplement them and redeploy them.

I guess one could still reimplement a fake ICQ backend and re-cobble the network from scratch. But still.

Protocols!

The World is Throwing a Fit of Collective Amnesia

“Four years ago, a dangerous new virus started spreading. Nobody knew anything about it. We had no choice but to use masks and social distancing. They protected us. We wore masks that were okay but not great. We got vaccines, but not great ones. Now we know better. We have better masks. We have better air purifiers. We're developing better vaccines. We have nose sprays. We could actually control Covid instead of submitting to constant infection that results in inevitable disability and slow death. We don't have to accept it.”

@evan I would, but I can't see the ads.

@drewdevault I just occurred to me that using Free software licenses was a Ulysses Pact. And that having CLA was a way to wiggle out of it.

I'll view all CLAs with suspicion from now on, and likely avoid contributing if I can.

@mike @mastodonmigration @evan I'm always puzzled about quote posts. Aren't they just, at their core, just a link to another message?

It feels like they're not entirely preventable. The UX of quote posts can make them harder, such as no UI to automatically create one, and no preview on links, but... isn't that the case already?

What am I missing, and what else could be considered as a feasible measure?
