You and M’Benga.

And no constant IP exposure!

I envy you.

Rake is a good one.

If you want something welded or smashed on with a hammer and you don’t bring me the materials, I want cost of materials + 50% up front for custom work. Shit’s expensive.

Lego playsets? They’re everywhere.

It’s Cybersecurity.

100%

Absolutely.

Adblocking is good cybersecurity practice. It puts into stark relief how much of Marketing is actually just manipulation and malware.

“cn, email, uid” was such a choice of Web 2.0 that confused the hell out of so many people.

So, it’s super weird to see the FOSS Crowd simping for a company that’s taken what was once FLOSS (Free, as in Liberty), made it FOSS (already a problem), and is now hiding it behind pay-for-play in the repos.

Privacy vs Privacy. In this case I’m talking less about the accessibility of the information by masses and more about the acquisition of that data and the monetization thereof. I believe firmly in the right of the individual to control the relevant secure aspects of data (Confidentiality and Availability, integrity gets a back seat for a rare case). When an organization takes that data and utilizes it, it’s a breach of the desired confidentiality of the data. It doesn’t matter if the data is read it matters who is doing so and for what purpose.

Something akin to a non-commercial open source license. I don’t care much what individuals know my stuff, I do care what organizations know and do with it.

Consider that three common core values of the Fediverse, and open software in general, are a propensity towards transparency, privacy, and decentralization. Literally everything Meta stands for is in opposition to that, including their lackadaisical approach towards moderation. If you look at our value profile, Meta is a threat actor in that regard.

We aren’t trying to find out what something new is going to do. A cancer that metastasizes in every host it’s ever had is likely to keep doing so, you don’t take a wait and see approach. You excise the malignance.

In this case, you surround it with walls until it dies on it’s own.

Heghlu’meh QaQ dajaj!

Qapla’!

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

The hell we can’t.

Big oof… can’t we use something better than telnet? ;)

I was serious. Conceptually it makes a lot of sense to do, I’ve thought about a number of CLI clients, but like a federated BBS from someone with the experience to do it right would be… just… chef’s kiss

I’m of the wrong era. I got the tail-end of using them and wasn’t developing until well into the WWW days.

OMG… we need a federated BBS.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

I would love to see/have seen Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick get a scene together.

Everquest. Man that was revolutionary.
