@evan I will do some window pruning tomorrow morning

@evan 20 firefox at the moment, 38 Chrome, 31 VSCode - I closed a few at the end of the workday. I will add a window for something I'm working on and accumulate tabs in it, and hopefully close the window at the end.

@evan about 30 per browser (I have both firefox and chrome open) oh, and another 30 or so in VSCode too, which is also a browser, though mainly for files

@annika War On Cars just had an episode on how much of the discussion about driving is based on PR campaigns to blame non-drivers rather than road and car design for their injuries:

@annika it's the jaydrivers you need to worry about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-driver

Warren Ellis took the high road of blogging first this year. I'd love to see him join wandering.shop next year https://warrenellis.ltd/isles/how-to-build-a-blog-without-social-media/

@evan this could lead to an OGP to AS2 mapping by @snarfed.org in granary.io

@evan we've been looking at that in microformats recently

@evan doesn't bookwyrm.social already build on Open Library?

@andypiper @evan it uses openlibrary.org as the basis and treats them as social objects

@evan I may have lost the particular point of argument in that thread.
The deeper idea is that follow your nose discovery naturally enables individual profile pages on a domain to redirect to external urls, whereas webfinger bakes in domain centralism by default, and requires a specific implementation goal to allow for out of site connections.

@evan @luis_in_brief @simon previously https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/177#issuecomment-292780728

We had a mechanism for this in OStatus that worked by delegating to the http and dns stacks. AP half bought into the dns is bad, keys are good worldview so to migrate you need a separate protocol to do a key handover and follower migration to the new instance. However historic posts are stuck on the old instance because it can't 301 them to the new one because signing posts is bound to the user, not the domain.

@simon @evan @luis_in_brief the other part of it is that a 301 redirect model doesn't fit with the half-assed signing model for posts. We have a way to redirect sites and archives, and followings, with a modest amount of overlap of both sites being up, and it was baked into feeds and WebSub at the http layer, but the "spray the new, ignore the old" model didn't map as well.

@quinn can't we persuade them that banning new drilling will help them raise the price of their existing stocks?

“it was Facebook traffic that warped most digital media executives into futile aspirations of moguldom, and it’s the fast-receding tide of Google search traffic that has turned those same characters into frantic, mewling content goblins, desperately trying to force-feed AI-generated affiliate garbage into a robot that hates them.” https://www.theverge.com/c/features/23993135/twitter-breaking-news-history

@evan @Gargron that paper cites a definition of intelligence by racist eugenicists, and doesn't have any actual controls, only vibes. It is worth watching / listening, as is the linked radiolab series on intelligence measuring
