Cursed English
English words I am mad about, part 3719: Bureaucracy. I can never for the life of me remember how to spell this dirty fucker. It's so easy in German: Bürokratie. I mean come on, a word that's actually easier to spell in German? That's not how this was supposed to work out!
@andrewrk is the north star FSF-/GNU-like espousal of "all software should be free"? How would even that, let alone something less than that, prevent inflicting of carelessly-written software on users?
@jimbob @andrewrk @jarekrozanski
I mean people who are like you but with less of a moral spine.
I don't think you get to take that advice and hope they don't.
I think you play the META and expect everyone else to also play the META.
@andrewrk perhaps "Ask for forgiveness, not permission" attitude did do more bad than good afterall.
@chris as a user of multiple fediverse protocol variants, have you felt one of their servers could be enough for all-purpose use? Or maybe some all-purpose app to simulate it client-side?
@soatok what I don't get is why you take this opportunity to attack #pgp in general, like taking the opportunity to push for some agenda, the site is called gpg.fail, GPG not PGP, most of the problems are related to gpg or some C code implementation bug, or using gpg and others in the command line and getting tricked by some ansi printing in the terminal, how that translates to "let's kill pgp"? ex. none of the listed problems affect #DeltaChat at all
(I was present in the gpg.fail talk btw)
It's true: the more technical background and pre-conceptions you have, the more more likely you run into trouble with #deltachat 😂
Don't think so much! 😉
@bentsukun it is great to hear that `gst` is in usable shape, because development seems quiet (compared to the Paolo Bonzini days).
@mscheffel @dabertime jokes apart, I have heard it likened to shaking dust out of a rug - dust coming out (struggle to concentrate) is a prerequisite for reaching further.
@JessTheUnstill one of these is needed for Android
@kwramm
Cache invalidation is due to a communication issue 😅

@coderCyclist I have heard this called attribution-based economics (ABE), but not of any software path to it.
@Migueldeicaza @sinbad and you know, the thing really hurting the Microsoft brand is all that C and C++ code.
Ignore the anti consumer behavior, shit products, cloud services for genocide, and overall mask-off evil stuff.
But the original web is still there, it's just infinitely harder to find if all you look at is the behemoths. To be happy in our little bubble is hard since we are social people and we want to be where everyone else are.
And it's very hard to trust the small ones that are trying to create something nice. When they have built a nice user base there is always a risk that they sell everything and letting one of the behemoths take over the wheel.
It was different only until it became a commerce and branding/PR channel. Then that mostly drowned out everything else.
And we should consider “social media” as completely owned by commerce (ads) and PR (promoted posts, etc). Some of it is corporate, some of it is political, but all of it is harmful.
