the problem with #happiness is that we always think we need a reason for it, but that is just our bias - although it's hard to overcome
we are the #tech elite - meanwhile the main stream flows down the abyss of surveillance
We're now on @osswatch!
@steckerhalter Interestingly this is what the #scuttlebutt community did. They have created an application platform where you can hook in additional functionality as plugins, enabling you to:
rate books, play chess, play go, chat, share long blog posts, have a microblog like interface (the default), vote, announce gatherings and participations, ...
So yes, I agree such a thing would be really really helpful. Also you will get the one application as your door to the fediverse.
Hot take: the 'rule of law' is only possible because social norms have made deviations from desired behavior rare. The policeman in your head does the heavy lifting. When norms diverge from law, norms win.
@sheogorath @steckerhalter I am excited to see what the golang community does with github.com/go-fed/activity which is one such library. I think a nodejs one was being built as well but I lost who it was when my previous account died.
Those are the only libraries I am aware of, I think the rest roll their own implementations.
look, now everybody builds some #federated shit, like #pixelfed #mastodon #peertube #pleroma #hubzilla etc.
what we should to instead is to build an #activitypub framework that can be extended with plugins to whatever purpose necessary
one core that contains the federation tidbits and a myriad of plugins to fit any crazy idea, got it?
and let's include federated storage into the whole thing as well
If you know anyone working on an ActivityPub project and they need any advice/feedback/help or want to spread the word, tell them to DM me! I am more than willing to help or spread awareness! #activitypub #fediverse
I'd like to put in an order for a #federated #soundcloud where #musicians can be tipped with @Liberapay
🥂
makefiles not war.
oh yeah, learned about #obarun via @Tlacaelel
#arch #linux without #systemd is called Obarun https://web.obarun.org/
TIL that #github is among #debian LTS gold sponsors: https://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html
other notable sponsors: #toshiba and #linode

the biggest supermarkets in #switzerland are coops, one is called "Coop" (yes 😆) and the other is called Migros. they are about the same size and in most places you will find both (and even close to each other most of the time)
somebody suggested that #canonical should start a #mastodon instance. 😖 but on the other hand I'd finally have a worthy #DDOS target.
wow, shit. I was pulling my hair out trying to find a way to exchange files easily between #android and my #pc and now I found #nitroshare https://nitroshare.net
it's awesome, just awesome 👏 🤘
