Oh thank FUCKING god Wayland Zones finally got merged.

I dunno why everyone keeps bringing up the sankey diagram thing. The sankey diagram thing is WEIRD, but it wasn't not hurting anyone afaict.

The root of the problem with matrix is that it attempt to synchronize rooms across servers peer-to-peer. That is fundamentally the wrong model to take for chatrooms, which (as opposed to groupchats) have clear ownership and likely fine-grained ACLs for utilization.

I literally asked for this, like. Yesterday! I didn't think it would happen this soon!

jj makes version control fun in all the ways git doesn't.

majutsu's not perfect yet but it's good enough that I'm happy to use it as my way of interacting with my vcs inside emacs.

Oh this is super interesting.

if it really depicted gay pornography on prime time I would finally actually watch a Superbowl halftime show.

There's a lot of bullshit going on in the world but if you need a distraction get in because it's PUBLIC UNIVERSAL FRIEND TIME

Some more insight into discord's legal situation

👀

Some people on here are so irony-poisoned they don't know what's okay and not okay to say and do socially.

Oh this is faaascinating. Like. just from a design perspective. Pretty novel use of the atmosphere.

It's important to have a healthy social media diet. If everyone you follow is talking about the same Discourse, it's time to diversify your follows. This will help you Not Go Fucking Insane.

Once a year on April 1st all drafts get entered into a pool to be selected and posted by the blue checks, sponsored by Draft Kings.

okay actually matrix is SO much worse than I thought. Nevermind ever using that garbage. Burn it all down and start over.

highly recommend muting or ignoring these people cause they live and breath toxic posting and will just jump from orbiting one toxic poster to the next and it will rub off on you or desensitize you to their bullshit if you mainline it

God what a loser.

Spearcat treating someone poorly? daaamn that's craaaazy.

"2026 is the year of IRC!" No it's not. The year of IRC is never again because IRC is an antiquated anf user-hostile system that doesn't fulfill the needs of most communities. If you don't recognize this, you need to touch grass and stop trying to make fetch happen.

🤮

Begging advocates for maximal decentralization above all else to touch grass and go get a hobby that doesn't involve decentralization.

Ocean's Echo is one of my favorite soulbond stories because it really says "FUCK Soulbonds" with its whole chest

fuck that shit

i'm mutuals with niche internet celebrities you haven't even HEARD of.

Is this the new boo.com?

Molumbo

the thing to understand about atproto is that there's clique A and clique B and they both hate each other and then separate from both of those are the actual people doing things.

I'm gonna throw up

Fuck anyone trying to publish slop.

It's just me, !takedownself, and I

Private posts in a closed community (which is what the blacksky community IS and what blacksky-only posts ARE) are definitionally not for you. I don't understand why everyone is crashing out so hard over this.

ATproto™: look you gotta admit all these signed replicas of everything will be really cool for future historians.

I mean all anyone ever says about blacksky staging is that the unbanned Link but there's a ton of great nice-to-haves in here.

yooo blacksky staging has drafts?

"But where's Walter in the new muppet show?" Nowhere! Because Walter literally only works in the context of one movie and he's incredibly bland.

Just discovered @leaflet.pub's built in subscriptions and reader. I assumed the "subscribe with bluesky" button would bounce me back to bluesky to follow the user there.

okay but what if we forced that chatbot to program a virtual computer to send messages to us. Like. The chatbot has to program effectively a haunted Altair 8800 to send text to us.

many people are saying this.

"archive.is is a GamerGate thing" no archive.is is the "I want a snapshot of this content at this exact point in time" thing. Also the paywall dodging thing but that's unrelated.

People have very weird ideas about what the "rules" around alt accounts are.

There has GOT to be a better way to manage emacs tree-sitter libraries.

There's actually a huge amount of utility in the atproto identity layer, even in environments where things can't go into the repo. We should be exploring the possibilities here more.

Can blacksky leapfrog bluesky and implement oauth logins?

You cannot let "I personally do not care about private data" become "nobody should care about private data" become "the things people are doing to accomodate the needs of users who want some level of privacy and are willing to trade off on decentralization for it are bad and they should feel bad."

Apps that get DNS verification functionality wrong really cause a lot of pain for their users. Having explained the problem a number of times, I finally decided to write it down so now I can just share a link.

Very weird to hear someone vaguely talk about racist backlash to something and assume they're talking about your mutual who isn't white and was on the periphery of the discourse.

now that I'm back do I get to do some discourse adversarial uses of atproto have existed and will continue to exist and will in time face the same failure modes as pre-atproto social and things will probably pan out fine in the long run

I don't think it's that Linus was anti-version control per se prior to bitkeeper. I mean, he says he was, but he thought of version control as "what CVS does". What happened is that he fell backwards into a modern DVCS workflow because of Linux being open-contribution...

A real report on using @standard.site in the field with an existing blog. Worth reading.
