I've just found fox and swapwm (a minimalistic #Forth and a #WindowManager written in it), and I'm in awe. There are so many cool projects out there!

@strypey you don't need consensus to start off, just an implementation in one app, which seems to be doing by evolving / to use ActivityPub.

@Mrfunkedude
Thanks. Is it using ActivityPub the same way as Lemmy does?

I am really happy with how Lemmy works, as a more focused place for discussion in general.

I wonder why I have to use Mastodon too, though, for just the odd feature not in Lemmy. It looks like Lemmy is only a small step away from being a better Mastodon too - support posting outside of communities, and subscribing to accounts.

BTW, in a network with , using both and (and , etc.) wouldn't be an issue.

CC @strypey for comments 🙂

@crc You argue from a serious point, thus you missed the nonsense.

@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @ada@zoner.work snac deals with a lot of JSON strings, all data is stored in JSON files on disk, sent as JSON over network, etc. Handling the data as loosely typed strings most of the time is likely cheaper than marshaling everything into well-typed "objects" and then serializing them back again on I/O. I haven't delved much into the implementation of xs myself, but I used it when I wrote a few patches for snac, and it was acceptable to use. I've been using snac for a few months, and it's much better on resources than any other major AP software I've seen, so I don't have complaints about the performance of parsing doubles :)

I still see snac as "worse-is-better" software, which I don't like much, but at least it's simple enough to start doing meaningful patches within a couple of hours of diving into it, and definitely cheaper for me than having to write a whole AP server from scratch, which I was tempted to do before.

We don't forget that on Haiku we also have some really nice native applications, one of them being StreamRadio.

An application native to Haiku to search for and listen to internet radio stations.

This is very nice. But looks like AI generated. For example, look at the number plate.

Edit to add this: There is a WWII veteran with the same name, but he died in 2020.

@alex I think it was Hershey's that didn't advertise at all for the longest time, but eventually started advertising (probably to avoid losing). So it is a trend.

I think it is a lose-lose situation. If you do something because others do, you are trying to get the appreciation of sheeple who don't care about what is in the tin, let alone what is on the tin + you are presumably already spending more than your competition on what is in the tin.

Actual value seems to be a boutique product!

@alcinnz he he. You might as well as have said "our software industry", since nobody outside it is likely to be identifying and evaluating OS'es or websites or apps.
