    I noticed the company who wanted to add their service directly into Owncast, and I said no, started releasing their own version of Owncast with their own changes in it to support this use case.

    I'm not sure how to feel about this. It's kind of a fork, but it's really just another release of Owncast by somebody else. They're releasing something called Owncast with functionality and decisions that have nothing to do with the real Owncast. It specifically says stuff like "Owncast does X", and Owncast does not do X, and will never do X. Only their changes do X.

    I fear this may confuse people. If something goes wrong with their version of the software, people are going to ask me for support, and might make the real Owncast look bad. But I don't know if this is wrong, or if this is completely acceptable. It's open source, and the name "Owncast" isn't owned by anybody, as Owncast is an open source project, not a company. So I guess they have the right to do whatever they want and call it Owncast.

    But it feels wrong, and it seems like really bad things could come of this.

    Saw there's a poll for "How often do you use Owncast?" In my mind, it's like asking, "How often do you use a concrete mixer?" Most people here would say "Never". But the people who need to build stuff really need a concrete mixer. If you compared a concrete mixer's popularity to an iPhone or a laptop, you'd say concrete mixers are a failure and nobody uses them. When, clearly, people use them every day to do important work.

    That's how I feel when people try to gauge the "popularity" of Owncast.

    My heart goes out to xz. A single maintainer, who was clearly in a rough place with mental health, screaming out to the world for some help and additional contributions, and somebody shows up wanting to help. Could you imagine how happy that maintainer was? They were no longer alone.

    And it turns out the only reason somebody wanted to help them was nefarious. I can’t imagine how they feel right now as everyone is blaming them. I hope they’re ok.

    @darnell I appreciate your approach of trying to slice and dice this, but if Threads is on the Fediverse, then a Threads user is a Fediverse user, whether we like it or not.

    It's clear that Podcasts peaked in 2005. What Podcasts were you listening to then? I'll start.

    The Daily Source Code, The Dawn and Drew Show, IndieFeed, MacCast, This Week in Tech, Engadget Podcast, Mashup of the Week.

    @evan @o_simardcasanova @thisismissem If a project is no longer very active, and you’re wondering what can be done to help it, then inconveniencing a maintainer who is not as active with PRs is the least of the concerns. The project needs people to work on it or it’s dead. The goal should be to build a core group of contributors, not have sporadic drive-by contributions. That way it’s not all on one person. Including the job of reviewing PRs.

    @evan @o_simardcasanova @thisismissem I’m coming at this conversation from the bias of a sole maintainer of a project where I’m doing my best to keep my head above water. I would love have a core team so I don’t always feel so guilty that I’m not doing enough. PRs take time, but what a gift. I’m immensely thankful for every single one. But long term core team members would be better.

    @evan @o_simardcasanova More contributors. If one person is working on something, and they slow down, nobody is allowed to complain if nobody is willing to help.

    @evan With that narrowed scope, that is absolutely an answerable question. Thank you.

    @evan The whole demeaning "It might seem incomprehensible to you, you just don't get it" with an immense sense of superiority. In this case, you're telling me I don't understand what ActivityPub is, and I'm too dumb to understand your question. I take offense to that. Not to you, but that's why I think you could reword what you're trying to say there.

    @evan This question is impossible to answer. Benefit of the doubt... of what? If somebody messed up an implementation of ActivityPub, absolutely, they deserve it. We're all trying our best. If somebody built an implementation of ActivityPub to steal our data, advertise to us, harass people, or build spam bots? No absolutely not, we shouldn't let that slide just because they use ActivityPub.

    @tchambers Transcripts are awesome, but I thought “Podcast 2” was primarily about Crypto currencies? I sure hope Apple isn’t getting into that.

    People try and compare Bluesky and The Fediverse. But reading “Bluesky appoints X as Y”, could you imagine replacing that with The Fediverse?

    You can’t appoint anybody as anything on The Fediverse. That’s what true decentralization and independence is. I know people incorrectly think Gargron is the president of The Fediverse, but it’s incorrect. Nobody owns The Fediverse, it’s impossible. If you can appoint a single person to oversee it, how can you pretend it’s anything decentralized, independent or open?

    I cannot, for the life of me, imagine building an entire company on top of ChatGPT. It just baffles me. They WILL fuck you over and you WILL lose your company and you WILL say you didn’t see it coming. It’s coming.
