@jamesb192 @tim fwiw the HTML5 standard is turing-complete

@tim god i love this piece. absolutely fantastic!

@zompus this is exactly why consulting is a lot like family therapy

@dahukanna nice! That’s the approach I’ve been leaning towards with my stuff, but the “hmmm, should I just build… right on some distrobuted/federated platform?” Is always tempting

@scottjenson I’ve been chewing on this too, as I try to move ~2000 book notes to… something other than a google sheet, heh

@scottjenson this whole exchange warms my nerdy heart

@ireneista “Over seven billion years, the absolute amount of cumulative suffering caused by you not giving me that poptart is greater than the deaths in WWII” is funny on one level, but it requires a diabolical insistence on refusing to examine the enormous world of other potential causal paths — predicting specific longshot outcomes is absolutely the least reliable part of risk assessment

@ireneista this. It’s basically an exercise in laundering presuppositions in rounding errors, then amplifying them to infinity by boosting the timescale

@futurebird you just KNOW someone’s already trying to buy naming rights for the moon.

@kfogel @koen_hufkens @pluralistic @academicchatter On the other hand, FOSS network effects are no less binding than those of (say) a platform like Twitter. If we use words like “dictator” to describe platform owners whose services we aren’t required to use, FOSS BDFLs aren’t fundamentally different. We can leave any time.

@aardrian the biggest womp, followed by a sad, slow womp

@andrewhinton Same. It feels like this very specific industry has spent a lot of time and energy severing itself from the social contract, and rationalizing the devaluing of human life via economic arguments. And now there’s shock that the arguments are being turned.

@grimalkina oh, you know… waves…

@DaleHagglund @hipsterelectron @aud In the content world this fuzziness often shows up as “trying to build a cms for rdf triples”

@adrienne yeah. “i’m not angry he pardoned Hunter, I’m angry about thw eight jillion other toothless ‘norms’ he refused to break that would’ve materially changes millions of lives

@chx it looks like I was auto migrated! I think the federation aspect of it just takes a bit.
