@freemo I might have my wires crossed, then
@amarok !!! What leads you to think it better than JS? (not a JS lover here, but historically I hate it less than old PHP)
@chaos0815 We were too late to take it back. It died under our fingertips.
@Crell I did a bit of Docker and liked it, before we were able to consolidate to the #JVM. Now JVM is my #container (since I don't go deep and actually customize it besides memory specs)
@freemo I could definitely be wrong. But I thought there was a week or so when he first left Musk's instance that he was actually on QOTO

Implementing a web browser is literally impossible.
"The total word count of the W3C specification is 114 million words […]. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications."

@freemo I believe that qoto was one of the first instances he ever joined, but now is on universetodon.
Yeah, I follow him as well. But I remember what a big deal it was that he started on QOTO, and then shortly after he switched
@freemo I think that blocklist might be the same reason we lost George Takei after a brief spell
@freemo No explanation. I suspect it's a matter of just using a generic block list. I did let them know that I am in contact with the owner of QOTO and that he is very approachable. I'll give your handle if they ask. I just didn't want to seem too biased about QOTO 😉
@freemo The owner of mstdn.games, Britt, has been in touch with me and their international admin group will be looking in to it over the next few days.
@freemo I know qoto is just on some generic block lists (as per previous conversation with you), so hopefully it's trivial to remove us

We will be hosting an AMA on our AI Discord — hosted by one of Mozilla’s innovation engineers — about AI building challenges and take a sneak peek of all the innovation projects we’re cooking up: https://discord.gg/96TfbRr7?event=1182689641195900938
@mozilla I guess discord is one of those non-FOSS necessary evils to get reach to users. I guess I haven't pegged just how FOSS-extreme Mozilla is

Is anyone with JavaScript interested in maintaining the Abricotine Markdown editor? It's being abandoned by its author. Abricotine is slow to start but otherwise the best Markdown editor for Linux in my experience.
@argosopentech I guess I contest the "Best on Linux" thing #emacs
Seriously, though, this sounds like a good project to take leadership for all those looking to boost their resume or experience in JS
@Crell No kidding! It's had an open ticket to match their versions for months now, but upgrading the PHP version on shared servers is complicated. I definitely miss our solid Clojure setups.
