Technically, genderfluid is more a descriptor of the rate of change of gender than of gender when you think about it :p

So really, the answer to that is an ever changing subset of people ^.^

I don’t think you understand anarchism.

Thanks ^.

I have a very shitty notebook this is likely to be very useful for ;p

How does this compare to zswap. For me, if you still want a swap device on a real disk, this might be better? Idk >.<

Edit: arch has zswap enabled by default https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap - someone below says it is better if you have zswap when you already have a swap device :)

And it’s a good thing. Fuck proprietary software 😎

I mean the person in tye image has a fox news logo as well as an antifa logo. I’m mocking the absurdity of the concept of someone claiming to be antifascist while liking fox news xP

This is what the right thinks a joke is, folks. Apparently this person is an antifascist and also thinks fox news is good or something?

The soviet union was authoritarian state capitalist (as opposed to market-capitalist). It just called itself communist, even though the Soviets (worker’s councils) were suborned to the party very rapidly.

Yet another vitally important front in the war on general purpose computing (it’s a short and important read imo)

Fuck Google, and fuck DRM.

those are usually the opposite of libsoc lol

I use:

• qpdf for mucking around with pdfs, reordering, selecting pages, combining them, etc.
• ffmpeg for video and audio sicing and transcoding. Usually encompassing a command in a script because I forget the precise params every time ;p
• nvim for anything like Markdown (which can be converted to other things like LaTeX or pdf or html, sometimes in multiple stages)
• imagemagick for simple image conversion stuff.
• wget for downloads ^.^
• youtube-dl or yt-dlp for grabbing youtube stuff.

I mean I have very negative views towards both concepts sooo ;p

Pretty sure Falun Gong is a cult last I remember.

It means we do not see content from them, and any posts they make or comments or similar won’t show up.

Nope! :)

Also it might be worth attaching this as a secondary standard, “DiscoveryPub” or something, to avoid scope creep.

In particular, I’ve figured out a way to specify sentiment/interests efficiently and combine it reliably over federation, and the data structures required to do that.

I’ve also provided some ideas for sensible defaults (automatic selection of instances, and accounting for instance load), with incremental enhancements to specificity for more advanced users ^.^, as well as a general search mechanism that can be derived from this - though for efficiency, it might be worth trying to develop some sort of probabalistic reverse index to avoid a linear scan, if we’re talking about discovering entities like users or groups where there may be very large numbers.

I hope that if people are interested they will boost the post onto Mastodon, which afaik is where the devs and ActivityPub standards people are, and try and get the ball rolling, because my focus is elsewhere right now, and the social aspects of developing things like this are much more difficult for me than the algorithmic and architectural parts ;3

I have made a post with some work I did to make getting into the federation without requiring users to understand it much easier here, by providing a sensible automatic way to select instances randomly but weighted :)

My idea is meant to allow for a spectrum from simply “pick an instance for me” using the weightings for an assumed “the user is interested primarily in general discussion”, to “search for an instance for me related to xyz topics as a search query”, to fine-tuned discovery ^.^

The weighting is always necessary to use because it allows instances to have more control over who they accept and avoid overloading smaller instances. But you can make the default UI very simple.

This is actually kind of a general activitypub thing. I might do that but that feels like I’d have to make it was more refined and go through some formal process, and I hate doing that kind of thing and find it quite difficult, especially since my attention is elsewhere now.

I kinda just want to put it out here so people with more attention and time and knowledge can push it forward or e.g. boost it onto mastodon. Though if it really goes nowhere I might do something? Idk ;p
