 @j12t Very few people *really* understand CSS... I love it, but it can be a lot, especially for high end use cases. The ramp from obvious to wtf is incredibly short. Glad I brought my sweater. And there are sometimes some wet drops that fall out of the sky. Clearly Portland is not California. #xoxo Marveling, as so often, how it is that while #covid numbers are as high as they are, maybe just 2 out of every 100 people at the airport and on the plane wear a mask. In the grand scheme of things, just how much bother is a mask, in comparison? XOXO, here I come. Looking forward to meeting like-minded people. Reach out and say Hi 🙂 One of the best features of the Apple ecosystem is cross-device copy-paste. I don't know what exactly triggers it, but it works more often than not, and it soooo beats doing an brief ssh connection (which, with a firewall, takes a bit of work to set up) or, heavens forbid, a USB stick. P.S. Is there something similar in open-source land? (Not a trivial project) Missile statistics from #ukraine https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/08/20/7471189/ A great quote from @timbray : “So I think the #Fediverse is actually existentially important to the quality and success of human discourse—and it’s by a wide margin I think the most interesting thing that’s going on in the whole human-oriented technology landscape.” Yep! From https://fediverse-governance.github.io “Non-centralized” as opposed to “decentralized” … because it didn’t start out centralized… interesting #fediverse framing in https://fediverse-governance.github.io Thesis: when you are building a software platform, the abstractions are the main product. Parallel: in a consumer product, the UI/UX is the main product. Both need to work, of course, but for the customer, that’s merely table stakes. Since January, @kissane and I have been researching governance on Mastodon and Hometown servers of about 80-2000 people. That research is now available!!!

 Longer post(s) to come after the morning school rush, but! The Fediverse governance research @darius and I have been working on this year—with the absolutely central participation of so many wonderful Mastodon and Hometown server teams—is out: https://write.as/fediversalist-papers/releasing-our-findings

 The "IBM Institute for Business Value" wants me to buy something from them. I wonder what the demographic looks like that gets a pitch from them and reacts: Oh, I really need to get that.  @j12t That same company that helped the Nazis track Jews, the crippled, Slavs and other ethnic groups during WWII ? Hu-uh... But we should focus on the present, right? Like with what happened with the RedHat and HashiCorp acquisitions... what Business Values are they promoting exactly? Yeah I would pass too 🙃 Eggplant moussaka for dinner. Light on the eggplant because the neighborhood rodent ate some of my beautiful eggplants. Grrrr….. |
