Oh, it was really meant to be a personal experience more than an approach advise.

I have the feeling that FOSS software, linux included, is getting more and more mature by the day actually... to the point that when I install it on people's machines they barely notice anything, beside the increased performance (and occasionally some game not working).

Just my perception though

@rynras
How many do you have in stock? Are they properly trained?
I could do with a good cooking old human, but only if the price is fair considering the remaining shelf life

@GwenfarsGarden@sunbeam.city @gromit I'ìve tried to make couple of this, could never see any bug in it so I'd call my a failure. Let us know how it goes to yours

@eshton
I'm not sure, I don't like dogs... or any pet actually. Can we still be friend?

@solarpunkgnome
Afaik this is more or less what the people at commonspub are doing, a general purpose AP server which should make it easy to implement anything on top ( https://commonspub.org/ )

@mayel is one of the devs so could tell us more, right?
This, of course, if I got your question right in the first place :D

@solarpunkgnome
Woah, thanks for the tool, seems very useful indeed!

As there are no decent reviews that I could find, right now I'm just taking all the articles (257 on sciencedirect, couldn't find more elsewhere) and I'm slowly working through them with zotero.
I am on the lookout for sloppy statistics, that is always a good advice, but so far I haven't seen any quantitative data in general... I've only just started though, so I hope to find more.

@tom79@mastodon.social you are rolling out so quickly no one noticed, don't worry =D

@tom79@mastodon.social this app is getting EPIC

@jeffalyanak
What works in my experience is they asking me how to speed up their very slow laptop, me trying a live debian that goes so fast they don't believe it, they beg me to install that damn thing because they usually have to wait 3 minutes for the browser to open and 1 hour for the updates when they shut down.

@aral @alcinnz

@mayel
No worries, I see your point of view and I don't disagree, after all we are on the fediverse, we both must like decentralization :)
I'm not that sure whether a federated software for hospitality exchange would work better at the moment, but I'd love to find out alright. If someone would start working on something like that I'll back him/her up, sure thing.

@erosdiscordia

No worries. It is a rather good question, right now I'd say that a critical mass is when the platform does what it should well. If it's a wiki, means that the quality and quantity of the pages increase, with a hospitality exchange maybe that you usually find a host without too much of an effort?

It doesn't usually happen atm (also because of the choice of making it invite only, which on the other hand has kept the quality high).

Maybe a federated approach could increase that mass? I'd be curious to see it, even though I wouldn't put it in my top 5 application I'd like to see federated =D

I'd be afraid of moderation, quite. When you sleep in someone else's place you want the platform to be quite controlled, especially for young women who oftentimes have bad experiences on couchsurfing. With the fediverse moderation is difficult and has its challenges (I'm a mod, I've faced a few).

@mayel

@mayel
What do you mean? TR is not really in competition, not market-wise at least, being not for profit, donation based and open source, is just a community of travellers. It's not like federating is perfect for any use case, not saying this won't work, but it seems to me that it would require some more deep and technical consideration first.

Anyway, just start your project, no one is stopping anybody

@erosdiscordia
What, why would you think that? What I meant is that, it not having that many users, I see no real urge to decentralize the software.
@mayel

@mayel
I am not sure that those ups would actually balance the downs like how it's easier to manage moderation, implement new functions and develop the software in a centralized service. Trustroots doesn't have all that critical mass right now and everybody feels to me quite attached to the project, wanting to share the space together that is.

It could be interesting though, I'm not a programmer

@mayel
I don't know, what advantages would you see in that? Like, different policies by instance, or..?
