    @Suiseiseki if I can change the rom by removing the cartridge and replacing it with a different cartridge, and this causes the computer to execute a different program, then clearly the program must have been present in the cartridge. The comparative ease/difficulty of changing the bits on the medium doesn't alter the fact that their value is as bits.

    @Suiseiseki this argument is the same level of speciousness as saying that software on a write-protected 5 1/4" disk is actually hardware because you need to physically cover the write-protect notch before you can change it

    @mjg59 @Suiseiseki I used to have an atari 2600 (it was second hand, I'm not _quite_ that old). Are we saying that the game cartridges for such consoles do not in fact contain software?

    @quixoticgeek few years ago my builder ghosted me with a half-finished kitchen extension. Every other builder who subsequently came by to quote for finishing the job asked the same question: were they foreign? No, they were English just like you

    @petrikas I remember the early days of windows 95 and I'd say that had a strong claim to be the most open os ever - although maybe not in a useful sense of the word https://www.infoworld.com/article/2176957/worst-windows-flaws-of-the-past-decade-2.html

    Now substitute "provide software" for "send aid"

    @feld perhaps you should just have said "we've made data portability in the fediverse architecturally impossible, so please don't ask" in the first place instead of trying to argue that it doesn't matter and nobody should want it because other things can break too.

    @feld

    unless the domain is taken away from you. Or the TLD is retired. Or the registrar shuts down and the domain expires and you can't renew it because it's stuck in limbo.

    Assuming an old-school TLD (com/net/org/iso 3166 country) that's not run by muppets, any of these things happens less often than hosting providers going under and a lot less often than fediverse hosts throwing in the towel.

    I'm not saying it's a panacea nor is it available to everyone, but it's still a shitload easier than self-hosting your fediverse instance. "It's ok to lose your fediverse presence and have to start again because it's also possible to lose your domain name" doesn't strike me as a particularly great argument given the relative probability of those events.

    And it doesn't even seem like it'd be especially hard to fix, if the software folk wanted to. A tool to export the database as plain text (JSON, whatever) and another tool to import it in the new place.

    @clacke @lowqualityfacts I don’t “like” nearly as much as I probably should, perhaps because I still have the association with “favourite”, and “favourite” is a very high bar

    @KatS @millihertz @SEGFAULT haha, same. "A combination of factors around the time I was at university [... ] Perl - specifically my horror to learn that it flattens (1,2,3,(4,5,6)) to (1,2,3,4,5,6) - yes, I know about references, but I think it's a bug not a feature that the sensible syntax is reserved for the silly behaviour"
