The #Fediverse has a business model problem. (Use the term "business" loosely if you like.) Today's exhibit: Guppe groups is a loss-making project, donations are insufficient, and the developers will need to shut it down if that doesn't change asap. Given all the things they tried already, that seems unlikely. Lots of projects will end up like this if we don't solve this.  @J12t a problem that crypto socials like $DESO and Nostr will never have. It'd be trivial to raise money on those platforms.

The aspiring #Fediverse #Developers Network is upgrading from a single Matrix room to a Matrix space with several rooms, it got too crowded and hard to follow. Join us if you like. In the right room :-)  @J12t We have a similar space. But our email invites, while allowing people to join our server, never direct them to the invited room once they log in? Have you had this issue? Weโre completely flummoxed and Element/Matrix is not much help/ https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/24793#issuecomment-1520272244 Open source software is great! You can file bugs and the community works on them and they get fixed!! Like today, my issue against cloud-init was fixed. Yea! A mere 8 and a half years after I filed it. I really don't like anybody putting people into stereotypical categories and then dismissing them because they are in some stereotypical category. And I don't care what the category is. Every individual has their own story that is worth acknowledging. That may be a completely lost cause on all parts of the human spectrum. Looking for a prediction market for federal default in a few weeks, can't find any. Where have all the prediction markets gone?  @J12t Who needs a prediction market when you can just buy foreign securities?  @J12t The absence of a prediction market suggests that there is no disagreement on the predicted outcome: MAD guarantees that there wouldn't be a default? "AIโs Ostensible Emergent Abilities Are a Mirage" / Stanford study. Nobody saw that coming, right, because nobody has ever oversold their hot product, right? https://hai.stanford.edu/news/ais-ostensible-emergent-abilities-are-mirage #ai Great table of decentralized social projects beyond the ActivityPub universe by @rabble https://airtable.com/shri7e7EHoTi0cEjO/tblGfBcmj5sJzk2WK/viwPJRXjBeELkIaZZ  @rabble would love to move this list to a wiki somewhere not on capitalist infra, I might try to reformat it into a page on https://joinfediverse.wiki Which century would you say was this portrait created? Before or after the French Revolution? I've finally gone over. Every time these days somebody technical suggests "we could add cool feature X or do something with Y protocol", my first gut reaction, without even thinking about it, is "will this provide the value to the user that the user is wanting and expecting?" And every single time, the technical proposal needs to be at least packaged very differently than proposed to actually make a difference to the user. I've become annoying to the geeks I notice. Hopefully less so to users. How long should social media posts be retained? That's an interesting question. Facebook, for example, retains everything forever, not just posts, but also searches and private messages. Some newer social media protocols are based on an append-only log (which means old posts can never be deleted). But much we say on-line -- not all -- is really similar to a conversation with friends over a beer, and we'd be appalled if we'd record each other then and keep for years. What's best? Some people apparently read IETF RFC as a form of entertainment. That's going too far even for me.  Public townsquare? Permanent record? Full transparency? Bluesky? Somebody put all of #Bluesky's posts so far in one single database. Note AFAIK everything that happens on Bluesky is public, and can never be deleted. So this is not a bug, this is a feature, according to their architecture. @J12t Woah. That's a long stretch from the "own your content" users want. Permanent record is not a good solution to social media, as it only serves to create further problems (like bullying) down the line.  @J12t you can delete things on bluesky. there was a bug a while back where old media files attached to deleted posts werenโt getting deleted but they already fixed it and have planned to do a rebase of the repos to remove the old dangling files. Writing new code is just so much more fun than refactoring existing code. This simple fact explains a lot in our industry I think.  @J12t It shouldn't be... I think if your work hard enough on your new code you should be able to get to a point extending it is more pleasant than going through the pain of designing your app from scratch again. I also don't know of a single company that would pay me to spend that amount of time on my new code. ๐ That's why I don't code for a living ... Status: filed Mastodon bug. Only happens when running Mastodon inside a Linux container with recent kernels, which is great for development, but obscure enough I'd be surprised somebody fixed that. What a totally fascinating graph! Spot the difference! Seems to me there is little immunity over time, but certainly a great reduction of symptoms! Except when Omicron hit.

@J12t I interpret it as a reduction in the ability to report cases. Most cases are going unreported this year.  @J12t There is and was never immunity. Omicron can carry long covid in the long run and has not less albeit different symptoms. Lots of noisy supersonic planes in the air in the bay area. That is very unusual. What is going on? Travis AFB is in the San Francisco bay area. It could just be standard flight traffic. We get them flying over here in Granbury to and from the Naval Air Station in Ft. Worth and the occasional Chinook fly over. Occasionally they have craft flying enroute to a deployment, or it's the Air Force Reserve weekend. @J12t Not supersonic but I heard/saw at least one very loud fighter plane near Moffett today. Traffic was a bit unusual, yes. @kissane Great post! IMHO we need to do holistic design across the entire #fediverse, not just #mastodon. The larger value proposition is in the overall network, built from many parts, not just one app. Want to help? There's a budding Fediverse Developers Network :-)  |
