Dude, Gen Alpha is going to be a generation of cyberbabies. This is beyond having access to a smartphone. AI will make people so incredibly smart. Dumb people who don't know how to ask questions will of course still be dumb. But anyone who is curious and asking questions will be able to find answers like never before. "What happens physically during a CPU cycle?" "What happens when you delete a file?" It's easier than ever to build upon the past.

Solve these impossible problems:

1. Create an encryption that can be decrypted after a specific date, without relying on any third-party.

2. Prove that a website is running a specific commit without accessing the server.

Either of these would change the world. But unfortunately they're not possible.

1. Time-lock encryption
2. IPFS

Not impossible.

Guess who just added quote posting?

You: "Mastodon?"

No, Pleroma! That was a trick question, because you forgot Pleroma didn't already have quote posting. Because you've been running my branch in Rebased or Akkoma for almost 2 years already. The very same branch that Pleroma just merged.

This is the type of stability and queer allyship people have come to expect from Pleroma. 💪

Absolute boss opens issue with relevant search terms, posts solution, and then closes own issue. Chad.

There is a NO COOMER RULE on my website. Can't believe I have to say this. There are so many other sites you can go to on the Fediverse to jack off. Don't do it on mine.

I like this new design a lot for the ScrollTopButton. Not sure what happens when there are several posters.

Flat design is good because it lowers the barrier. Open Source and big tech can design on roughly the same playing field.

How to integrate your blog with the Fediverse:

Option 1: spend years developing an ActivityPub WordPress plugin in PHP. Your blog shows up as a giant plaintext post with poor formatting. You get DDOSed constantly. 😕

Option 2: integrate into a static site generator. Now you can have the same poor quality post format. You no longer get DDOSed, but instead your post isn't delivered to your followers automatically (unless you manually boost from a real fedi account), and nobody can follow you. 😕

Option 3: just paste a damn link to your blog. Many hours (and your sanity) have been spared in favor of a better UX for your users. 😃
