@graf@Tony@burner@freddie_the_fed you can't be that old, are you? my dad brought home a copy of that album on tape for me back from work one day, and it kinda sealed it for me since lol
I was at the record release party at Tower Records on Queen Anne in Seattle for Follow The Leader, my dad was just like here go stand in line for the record and have fun kthxbai while my mom wailed on him for letting me go by myself at all of 12 years old lol
@graf@Tony@burner@freddie_the_fed oh yeah no it was definitely the first album that my dad got bootlegged, and it was definitely way after the record was released... poor White family, we didn't have a lot of money to keep buying music back then lol
I liked early Rammstein too, but damn did they lean grotesquely hard into that Weimar II-level of degeneracy after their third album, and even then it was like yeugh.
@Moon@alex Lame. Give me a holler when they get around to implementing federation? Would love to start a bluesky server (whatever they call it) once they're ready.
@alex that's fantastic to hear! I would love to see a development community for social media platforms go back to being about the code, and not about the politics.
Makes me wonder how we can gatekeep, so that we can maintain this sort of old school neutrality we grew up with, with the bleeding edge of nostr.
just saw some picture out of nostrica @alex, it looked like the perfect place that you'd expect a man of your caliber to be, and yet it doesn't look like you're there
Basically looks like nostr is being developed by the same faggots, with the same faggotry that created Twitter.
@alex@ahmad@bot I think there needs to be a social movement to stay putting much more pressure on gigantic companies freeloading off the labor of free and open source software.
I thought about helping jump in and getting some sort of idea to assuage this nostr identifier on the AP side issue thrown together into a PR, but I want to see Alex given more support first.
@alex@Owl@matty It's an incredible movie! If Matty hasn't seen it yet, I don't want to spoil anything, but it actually helped drive me towards National Socialism.
By the way, it was troglodyke, I was rather specific in the word I used. I think all that black dick you've been taking has damaged your brain. You'll make for an interesting specimen in the results of microchimerism.
@silverpill Let's not get ahead of ourselves. ActivityPub has a boatload of problems, man. It's a multimedia interface, which brings with it the complexity of dealing with that. Nostr seems very specifically a microblogging platform. It's a glorified, web3 partyline. With that level of simplicity, I'm pretty sure trying to make it a standard would get in the way of its adoption.
The ActivityPub network, such as it is, is dominated in this space by Mastodon, a gigantic silo of 1.8 million registered users. Look, the fact is, these things follow a pattern of 80% of the users being handled by the top 20% of the sites.
I'm rooting for it, personally. It's rapid, reckless progress, but it's gotta be done.
Although, the "cryptobro culture" of nostr is fucking :blobvomiting:
How much experience have you had with pg_repack? I've been using it intermittently, worked the first time, but lately it seems to be making corrupted databases on me. I can't seem to figure out why it's doing that, and Google is now fucking useless, so I can't seem to figure out if anyone else has had the same issues.
