I'm gonna go on a trip. I will be traveling from #Lisbon to #Bergen, #Norway by #train only. It will take me around 4 days. I will try to log it here as best as I can, although I'm not much of a consistent person... 😅
@bombadillo@outi@gerrymcgovern it was not growth that lifted people out of hunger. It was food getting distributed. That could have happened with or without growth (at a worldwide level of course). Just because we had growth and less people are in famine, doesn't mean one caused the other directly.
Also, we have more people living under $10 than in 1990. I will find the chart and post it under this later
@bombadillo@outi@gerrymcgovern 1. The last statement is simply incorrect. There is a possibility that highly uneven societies like our global one could increase in population without producing more, by just becoming more efficient and distributing more evenly. I bet that yeah, 1800-today, you had to increase production to not lose wellbeing per person. But that's not the whole picture, and certainly doesn't justify anything capitalism has done
@bombadillo@outi@gerrymcgovern 2. Who said population growth is always a good thing? That might be one of the causes, or consequences, or both, of the problem
Also, @aral, on the https://web0.small-web.org website, there's a bunch of spam, but I think this one especially should go lol (bonus negative points for linking to Meta, which links the website in the link graphs and whatnot)
@aral I just see AT as "protocol competition" with AP. My main concern is why it didn't go through W3C. Optimists will say "to move faster", pessimists will say "they wanna monopolise". It's probably both.
Despite this, the spec itself seems to be good and solve some (all?) of AP's issues. I would love to see an expert, like @evan go in depth about AT's flaws, as a protocol. I'm sure it has some.
@mastohost Yes you are right I didn't see that sorry.
I guess the question is that on Mastodon (and fedi in general?) having 1 person that is very famous across servers is heavier that having maybe even hundreds of people that only communicate in-server. And that's hard to communicate and price, right?
But I guess single-user instances should have a different pricing model because you know a priori they will want to federate a lot?
@mastohost that's kinda of sad, because for someone with a decent following, a community plan is needed ahah
Maybe the plan page should clarify that if you start having a ton of connections, personal plans will no longer be enough, even if you're the only person on the instance? Idk
