@eniko @Njord that's really cool!

So why isn't working as well now? Piezoelectric crystal got consumed or something?

@eniko reply with «Sorry, I'm just jealous that your support wasn't enough to buy my second yacht»

@passocacornio @eniko he sure had plenty of liberal supporters because «electric car!»

@fabiosantoscode @eniko it still takes a huge leap to jump from that to «you're right wing if you dare to criticize him»

@eniko he wants to make sure you're fully aware of what a huge pile of shit he is.

@rootsandcalluses IIRC it's a bot / system designed to emulate within a microblogging system like mastodon something that resembles newsgroups, forum sections, reddit forums, threadiverse channels, etc. You post to it, and it boosts your post to anyone subscribed. So it works differently from hashtags, especially across servers, because of how federation works.

@rootsandcalluses ah, in this case I'm guessing the message you replied to was posted to a fedigroup, so when you replied the fedigroup was among the recipients, thus triggering the fedigroups bot complaint. The fact that we have to remove the fedigroup from the reply recipients / mentioned people to avoid this is definitely poor UX 8-/

@rootsandcalluses I'm guessing you need to follow the group account before.

@jon @Ketakater @Vivaldi it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem though. JPEG XL for example is starting to see some traction thanks to Apple decided to support it anyway and the availability of extensions for Chrome and Firefox to handle it, and now Firefox is finally looking into adding it in main (not just in nightly behind a default-off flag).

Also, since you don't report Vivaldi as such anymore IIRC, how are you going to show that more people are indeed using it?

@jon @Ketakater @Vivaldi the problem with that choice is that when Google developers decide something isn't needed anymore, or shouldn't be supported in the first place (e.g., XSLT, JPEG XL) you are essentially forced to follow through with their decisions. That doesn't really help you make an impact.

@Elizafox my spirit animal

@donni just make sure to give sporadic signs of being alive or they'll start nibbling

@bloodravenlib WTF

@sten @lcamtuf sorry, it's been literally years since the last time I cared enough about this, so I don't have the links at hand. From what I remember, the dev(s) that got the project started claimed to not care about the license and that they would consider relicensing if the community showed an interest, but shot down all proposals to switch to GPL with no discussion.

Officially t's explicitly NOT about that:

«It is not primarily […] about license debates.»

@sten @lcamtuf

MIT licensing vs GPL.

(I'm not joking.)

@gelbphoenix nice, short and to the point. There are benefits to the layering introduced by ATproto (including nomadic identities and portable content), but they can be brought to the Fediverse without the centralization commanded by AT (see e.g. the nomadic protocol of Hubzilla and streams, or the Portable Objects FEP, see also <https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/nomadic-identity-for-the-fediverse/2101/96>)
