@Gargron If you want software developers work on open source software, tell your friends about them. @Gargron I hope I will convince some new friends for the fediverse with @bjoernsta at #ScoopCamp! https://www.thenewsocial.de/das-fediverse-in-guter-gesellschaft/ "If you’re going to build something, build it in a way that’s standard and portable across multiple services." @bart and I chatted with @jaypeters of @theverge about @subclub 🙏🏼 I also talk about how protocol-based networks can drive "one last network effect" and start a flywheel of innovation in social media.

@Gargron I haven’t been able to use the news tab in almost a month without the app crashing. It’s basically taken me off the app. :( Hi folks, we're excited to announce sub.club, payments for the Fediverse. We're the team that built the Mammoth app. Super simple Premium Feeds now available in all Mastodon clients, but especially sexy in Ice Cubes.

@subclub i appreciate somebody is coming with new things. Up until there will be no Android app for that i still found Nostr with payments integrated into the protocol and a lot of clients available to be better option fort that, even it is still a very niche network. There is no greater box.

@anja Since Amazon boxes are almost always in that range, even for a single pen, Maine Coon is the way to go for your next kitty. Little bonus @waveformpodcast today about ActivityPub and the Fediverse! If you're trying to understand what the heck the Fediverse is, we get... possibly a little too deep into it. But it's a fun one. Featuring some big names such as @evanprodromou , @mosseri , @mmccue and more. 🎉 @davidimel @waveformpodcast @evanprodromou @mosseri @mmccue If you'd told me the video was going to be used too I would've put more effort into cleaning up the room behind me 😅 Awesome episode @davidimel, y'all crushed it. Shoutout to @evanprodromou, @mmccue, and others for lending their perspectives. “The slow evaporation of the free/open source surplus” https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/the-slow-evaporation-of-the-foss-surplus/ Where I try to explain, as succinctly as I can (which isn’t that succinct), why I’m worried about where FOSS is heading

@baldur This side branch deserves its own writeup: “Some are reaching for LLM-generated code before they even look for an OSS project, both disconnecting those projects from opportunities to grow a sustainable community and nullifying the strategic advantage of having made an OSS solution for a problem. Note that the models are originally trained on that OSS.” @baldur @glyph Not sure about the point about laid-off/unemployed engineers not coding. I have spent periods of funemployment between contracts/jobs on side projects (a few apps/frameworks, some playing around with various technologies/languages and such). Looking at the fediverse, I don’t seem to be alone in this. Perhaps better social security such as a UBI would lead to more open source contributions. @baldur I would argue the industry didn't overspend, but overbuilt on FOSS. FOSS was free, is free and that encourages usage. But as all infrastructure, even free one, there is a maintenance price tag and the people with the bills are starting to knock on the door. As a result: panic. Not to mention that governments start to pick up on the transparency FOSS provides for regulations. |
@Gargron The human figure makes the landscape come alive. Nice!
@Gargron
Ah, yes. The Force. It has the Light side, and the Dark side, and the Whorneyside…
Lovely picture, though. Really. You have an eye for this.
@Gargron great capture
