@atatassault @evan are you sure of that? Have you ever gotten a hosted open source project on the GSA schedule? Because I have.

@keith indeed.

@koteisaev I think that’ll come in time

@dragoniff2 you may not understand what these terms mean, then

@KimSJ are you going to run a fed-certified secure mastodon hosting service?

This is a milestone for the open web. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24119353/joe-biden-threads-mastodon-activitypub-fediverse

@ernie @anildash@threads.net Ernie no

@waldoj it doesn’t rule out simply taking your shorts off

A second Trump presidency could count on a fully Trumpified GOP, a reactionary super-majority on the Supreme Court, and the omnipresent threat of escalating political violence.

Americans may want to resist. But it would be far harder and far more dangerous this time. 12/

@dansup I’d prefer to have the option of a general subscription, where one option is being able to have some kind of symbol denoting I was a paid user. Let’s not conflate payment with “verification”, and be explicit about what it entails for content visibility or promotion.

The perfect @glitchdotcom story: Slate covers a family of Wordle enthusiasts, and there’s an aside where a high schooler casually builds a tool for tracking NYT Spelling Bee high scores, using Glitch. https://slate.com/culture/2024/03/wordle-connections-nyt-hint-word-new-york-times.html

@Gargron @haubles truly a joy to welcome the folks who’ve made this incredible community and platform possible. There’s nothing like meeting someone for the first time in person after years of appreciating their work online!

I dislike it from the left

Joe Lieberman was one of many rich Americans who used his status to make life harder for almost everyone else in the country.

His death is preceded by the preventable deaths of many he could have helped save, but didn’t, because doing so might make billionaires less wealthy.

From the “kids are geniuses” department: the high schoolers on this bus are playing a game of punchbuggy, but instead of hitting each other when they see a VW, they shout “Tesla!” and punch each other when they see a Tesla.

@alexhammy lol no I can't, they are hoping that R2D2 for Amazon Megaflipflop for Enterprise CloudBlaster finally solves their branding challenges. https://dev.to/alexantra/let-s-have-a-look-at-how-aws-names-their-products-eye-twitch-44l2

@alexhammy I think it's a lot more like if McDonald's named their french fries "french fries", which... they do. It's very common for web services under a brand to all be named literally for what they are.

@alexhammy what’s the oof?

@Quinnypig Corey do not make me come over there

The headline says it all. You can build fundamentally different, better experiences for your users if the platform you build them on gets data to your users an order of magnitude faster. Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself. https://www.fastly.com/blog/be-among-the-first-to-try-the-greatest-kv-store-ever-made
