She’s a legit snack.

I talk to god with temple os btw

upvote this wherever you get your federated content.

linux users when they meet mac os users.

hmm, well kids that’s access controls and networking for ya! use it to your own advantage. besides, i doubt any federettiquite has beem established. remember you can always start your own instance with your own friends and block everyone else out. thre’s lno reason not to.

There is identity (who you are as a user, e.g, @dipshit@lemmy.world) and there is content (which must be on a server which can be accessed by anyone on the web 24/7 in order for things to work). Mastodon has a really portable system, but importing and exporting data requires that server hosting the data be online 24/7 (or at least when you want to access it, which could be anytime 24/7).

Bluesky’s proposal is nice and clean, but it refers only to your identiy. If bluesky were to go down, you couldn’t transfer your content out of it until it came back up. I think this is the problem nostr tries to solve with relays but I could be mistaken. either way, relays are just another server that needs to be online in order for the data to be accesses.

As I understand it, they also communicate with other crows too, so there’s a slim chance I will be found in this city as well. Yay.

Federation is just a protocol or a shared language so that other activitypub-federated services can act as a user on that instance. Most activitypub software include the ability to block instances for any particular reason. Further, most activitypub software include the ability to host private instances. Nothing about this is against how federation or the fediverse works. It could be considered a dick move, but I think that refers more to federetiquette than the fediverse itself.

I have only ever made crow enemies. you do not want crow enemies.

also, if you see a dead or dying crow in your driveway, don’t move it. don’t touch it. even if it’s blocking your car (idk, buy a new car instead?) maybe call animal control but by all means don’t present yourself near the dead crow - the crows will assume you killed it and will make your life hell. i was divebombed multiple times for many blocks from my house. i only gingerly moved the bird a few feet over to the grass so my wife could move the car and get to work. but crows remember. boy do they remember.

this only stopped when i moved to another city

can someone please explain how one site existing causes other sites to fail? that’s not generally how it works.

Excalidraw is nice. Also, I want to throw in a mention for mermaid.live (mermaid js). A little less flexiblity but it’s nice. There’s also kroki.io which hosts a lot of these types of apps.

I’ve certainly encountered a few of them myself. I keep reporting them.

One process for every thread! now this is computing!

Tech is hard, leaders aren’t always technical. AI is great at bullshitting, and it’s swooned many CEOs into thinking it will 10x (make them 10x more efficient than they previously were) existing employees / replace the need for programmers. Lots of leaders just look to what other leaders at companies are doing - some see what elon does at twitter as proof that downsizing drastically won’t kill your company.

Programming is like editing a book with many chapters. New developers need time to learn the story line of the book before they can begin editing anything. If the book has been around and edited continuously for over a decade, it’s going to take some time for those developers to understand the book well enough to start making meaningful contributions. Lots of these tech companies have multiple books each with many chapters, and one thing leadership either doesn’t realize or doesn’t seem to factor into the equation is that maintaining these books and all their story arcs and character development gets harder and harder over time. Truly in the tech industry, it’s more expensive to train a new hire than it is to promote an existing hire.

But again, leaders are listening to folks like elon musk…

You do realize that federating with meta doesn’t mean that the instances which allow federation with meta will be tracked more, right? Meta users are going to be tracked as much as meta users are going to be tracked. The old tricks that facebook used to do to track everyone with a facebook account everywhere on the net don’t really work any more in modern browsers and won’t ever work on an instance that doesn’t have a facebook “share this link” or “like button” integration.

Technically, if an instance did have those buttons and facebook users in older browsers used those instances, that would be tracked by meta, even if the instance itself didn’t federate with meta.

Are there any instances that aren’t free? Instances which run ads and tracking?

I love you.

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.
