I think best ActivityPub : BlueSky analogy is X11 : SurfaceFlinger. The latter two have in common:

* Funded, capable product and engineering effort
* Open source bug no RMS vibes
* Many more users

The former two have:

* Some users who choose it on principle
* Fragmentation in the layers above
* Whining from the hangers-on

But fundamentally they solve overlapping but not identical problems. That's a fine thing.

Enjoy writing those modelines!

Ouch. The fact that you compared ActivityPub to X11 and not Wayland implies that you think ActivityPub is already obsolete.

@matt That might not have been *entirely* fair, but it is what came to mind. I was thinking more about the intractability of solving problems like "high dpi" on the X11 side and "how to move instances seamlessly" on the ActivityPub side.

I'd like to see less criticism of how Bluesky isn't really decentralized, why it sucks that the Bluesky app uses React (I regret that I briefly piled onto that one), etc., and more discussion of why we're losing people to Bluesky and what we're going to do about it. For my part, I'm trying not to be a toxic reply guy.

We're not losing anybody. It just looks like the good old Twitter to them, and there is still considerable time left until it turns out it isn't that.

To join the Fediverse, some fundamental insights and some commitment are required, which just aren't there as long as a shiny alternative is available that looks, at first sight, exactly like what you are looking for.

I understand how they get that impression, and I'm not mad or angry about it, at all.

@thibaultamartin somewhat, yeah. I've got some experience with both, but I'm wondering if there's anything cooler.

One thing I'm looking for is something easily styleable, and a decent ecosystem of pre-built components. Also Typescript support is a must

if you’re primarily hosting dynamic content, I would use a SSG.

- vanilla html/css if you don’t have many pages
- @astro if you want a really snappy website. It also has an interesting content layer to fetch content at build time. That’s what I use for ergaster.org
- zola if you’re looking for stability (you don’t need to update deps every other day). That’s what we use for matrix.org

Happy to expand if you want me to :)

Childhood mortality -- death before age 15 or so -- used to run at about 50%.

Every second child born, died before becoming an adult, all over the world, for as far back as we've been able to track.

We didn't turn the corner until about 1900, when science got us the germ theory. That sparked sanitation and vaccination.

A cabinet nominee (RFK Jr) who questions vaccines is frightening. A nominee who brags about not washing his hands (Hegseth) is terrifying.

A graph of child mortality over time. Dots for the death rate of different civilizations -- Roman empire year 1 AD, Mexico 300 AD, Japan 1300 AD, Poland 1875, and many others -- give a line at 48 percent. Global child mortality is still 27 percent in 1950. As of 2022, world average is 4.3 percent.

It's 8:00AM, and still sleep is illusive.

Typescript having both undefined and null is mildly annoying. Semantically undefined is what you should be using to denote that something may or may not have a value in your types or function arguments. But if you're working with a non-typescript library or getting something from an external source, null is actually what you should be checking for in many cases. If you only check for undefined because that's what the types say, but you get null instead, your program explodes.

@EJGilbert After the Welcome Back message, do you see an Account button? If not, I suspect that you need to sign in or register by creating an ElevenLabs account. It's possible that this is a required step in order to import your own files. I did this as soon as I installed the app so I've never seen what happens without first signing in.

Even huge company like #google sucks in #UX so much.
This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?
Youtube UX: no link to the video, but here you can watch some different stuff...
Screenshot of embeded youtube video saying I have to sing in to prove that I am not a robot. There is "More info" link leading to generic support page advising me to log in on the youtube page. Then there is "More videos on Youtube" with 3 thumbnails of videos I don't care. There is no link to the actually embeded video I originally wanted to watch. Last hope is the youtube logo in the corner. But clicking on it does nothing. I just have to dig out the video link from browser's dev tools.

It’s funny how the only reason WhatsApp exists is to help Meta show you more targeted ads.

You are not paying with your data—you are literally paying by being psychologically manipulated into buying shit you don’t need.
