@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org :derp_charmander: énorme encore une fois :pikakisswink:    @davidrevoy The people of the future, on the decentralized, anticommercial web, will have to study about the brief phase where there were only centralized and monetized platforms which will be a concept so foreign and ridiculous to them @ErikUden @davidrevoy Tbh, that's how I feel about the idea of AOL Desktop v.s. just using a web browser 😳 So this scenario could very well be the case, if Mastodon pulls through and becomes ever-more popular 😮 @ErikUden @davidrevoy I think decentralized social networks should get government funding. That is some good use of taxpayer money. I think it's comparable to building roads, it's infrastructure. @davidrevoy Every time you make these it's just so incredibly well done. I laughed out loud seeing Google+ in the background 🤣. Amazing work as always! @davidrevoy Can I download it somewhere in 1920x1080? I want to have that masterpiece as a wallpaper 😃 @edgren Hey thanks! Yes, the source of the artwork is here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc__2023-07-30_Scary_by-David-Revoy.html , check in the bottom, you'll find a link for the high-resolution as well. @davidrevoy I have the impression that they are in constant panic :D https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/110667473958287668 @bloodywing Haha 😆 Yes, now you tell it, it is a recurrent pattern. I need to stop depicting this tiny group in panic mode. @davidrevoy @bloodywing you could depict them celebrating arrival and inclusion of new members, e.g. the GoToSocial sloth (when that project is mature enough for your taste). @zatnosk That's a good idea! I'll wait mainly feedback about this last interrogation I had an hour ago here https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/110807949966344541 .   @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org This is amazing! Also, I love the catgirl and foxgirl! :blobfox_aww:   @nartagnan Merci. Oui, j'avoue que passer quelques heures à bosser l'anatomie du squelette de l'oiseau était aussi un chouillat macabre pour mon dimanche 😅 @davidrevoy I really love the details that there are MySpace, freenode, Google+ and orkut in this museum too ❤️ And it looks like the big blue bird was fighting for its life for a long time. It is emotional and really deep. I love it! Keep up the good and impressive work 💪 @davidrevoy So you predict that X will die. I think Musk by making weird changes and rebranding will just kill off Twitter. It may end up as it was with Google+ (whose functionality I liked), or it will remain just a medium for militant politicians, which also means the end. @davidrevoy I see. The most, worst thing is that different social media actually fight each other, different communication protocols make the user exclusive. The lack of this universality of communication precludes exchange between them. I heard there's a new medium in the making: Blue something, similar to Mastodon. Lovely illustration! But disturbing, sad. @darekpages You probably refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_Social ; but there is nothing similar to Mastodon in it. As far as I can see, it's proprietary, with investors, so expect it will get monetized aggressively by adv, data mining, or anything like that after a free period that will serve only to bring in the Bluesky boat the new adopters and an audience. @davidrevoy @darekpages what dis, i have no brins todae i am tomat: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds
📽️ Process of "Scary" 📦 Source and high-resolution: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc__2023-07-30_Scary_by-David-Revoy.html − CC-By 4.0 @davidrevoy I hadn't noticed the paintings in the background before this time-lapse, that's such a nice touch 😆.  @ArneBab @Whidou @davidrevoy I'm still annoyed about name takeover, primarily because some of the primitives provided by Locutus and Hyphanet are very different (CRDT-likes vs SSKs) and taking over the name is bound to cause confusion, especially with old documentation floating around. @Parnikkapore yes — and with old articles and even the past years lectures I gave about distributed systems. @davidrevoy I love these so much. So many things I care about all wrapped up in one. Art, freedom, technology. Thank you.   @brucehankins 😆 I'll only accept the melodica version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-58hQ9dLk @davidrevoy @mancavgeek Haha, yes 😆  @davidrevoy I really love this painting! It conveys what I've been feeling about Twitter as of late... It's not the same as it once was and it just feels empty... I'm so grateful for opensource, I would feel really lost without it! ;;o;; @davidrevoy I'm just now noticing the photos in the background… Google+ and freenode hit close to home (the former because I followed a lot of Android engineers there, the latter because I'm involved in some open source projects who had migrate from freenode to Libera Chat/etc). Overall, well done! And, sadly, I suspect this museum will continue to grow. @digitalfox Thanks. Yes, I was also very affected by G+ closing, it was at that time my account with the most connections to contributors and audience of my webcomic (Pepper&Carrot was pretty new at that time). I remember I followed also many pages and accounts I never saw anywhere else after. Same for Freenode to Libera; but in this case, the migration happened so quickly and Libera team really supported 1:1 features that nothing was lost in the process for me and all went almost smooth. @Flamekebab Oh, the staged point of view in the room could be indeed a good screen for a point-and-click. I would play this game 😆  @Smerks1109 Thanks! I was surprised to read how long the list of defunct social medias is : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_defunct_social_networking_services . I preferred focus on my illustration only on those where I had an account and saw their extinction: Orkut, G+, Freenode, and Myspace. I wonder who will join the museum in the next ten years. (I personally hate Pinterest, polluting my image searches, so I really want this one to go extinct 😇 ) @davidrevoy Painting well done! love paintings that have a lot to look at. To almost study. Thanks for sharing! @davidrevoy gives me AI vibes solely based on the subject matter 😅 that logo is beyond cursed  @davidrevoy I find “ha ha #Twitter sucks” posts a bit silly but this art is great, love the easter eggs for #Pleroma and #Misskey      @davidrevoy Why do they look scared (And even more important why do they go with a flashlight through a museum at night)? @andre_601 They look scared because they are three mascots of social media alive in a museum of extinct social media. The lamp and museum at night, is for the spookiness, and a subtle reference to Luigi's Mansion series. 🙂 @davidrevoy On one side an extinct species got resurrected, which is thriving now 🌈🦣, while on the other side another species which used to be very much alive is being forced towards extinction! 🔥🐦 |
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org brutally awesome!
