@evan the diversity of web browsers is not great (arguably, it never was). We have basically one company that decides where things are going. Depending on a web browser for everything does not seem like a good idea to me.

@Suiseiseki @civodul “When it comes to free software projects, nobody can possibly know if you are a man or a woman unless you tell them and nobody cares either”
Sometimes the “you tell them” part is triggered if you’re using your real-life name in e-mails. I happen to do that, because managing a separate identity irritates me, and some people do definitely care.

So, given that the official Guix survey presented the lack of nonfree software as a problem, and found that it was a problem, will the maintainers decide to allow non-free software? A little clarification would be most welcome.

@dthompson I was wondering if there was a way to access the linear memory with Hoot. Do you happen to know if it is possible?

@civodul @jas
“guix-daemon --disable-chroot”
This does not spark joy.

@civodul we demand fail2ban-like ddos protection.

@janneke @fsf @nlnet why is there an ext4 partition, if Hurd only supports ext2?

@alex Imagine un web où on pourrait avoir un système d’authentification totalement découplé de Google : https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/tls/
Google : Mmh, on va plutôt faire OpenID-Connect comme ça on pourra tout contrôler. On va supprimer l’élément <keygen /> du HTML5 qui permet de faire ça (p’tite rant : https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2015Sep/0000.html)
Firefox : Oooh, non, pas de chance, Google a dit donc on n’a pas le choix, désolé.

@erincandescent @lanodan About the bare URL things, I asked a similar question to public-solid, and Melvin Carvalho replied to me:

There was actually a system like this about 15 years ago called ripple, I'll see if i can find some links to it.

@evan @hrefna I was talking about the chain between two end-users: client – server – server – client, 2 servers.

@hrefna There’s one server more in ActivityPub than in Solid, because you are supposed to deliver activities to your outbox, as opposed to delivering them directly to your recipient’s inboxes.
