Y'all know Jack Dorsey isn't involved with BlueSky and hasn't been for a long time right? Like that's the one bit of weird misinformation people seem to be fixated on. He left when they refused to leave the platform unmoderated. Since then, they've implemented a bunch of moderation tools, frankly tools that are better than this platform has. I say that as someone who was a mod for a large instance.

Eugen has, and I mean this to be as insulting as it sounds, been a horrible steward of the project. There are reasons so many forks have popped up, and we have this weird split of instances that are partially compatible. So many of those projects started as pieces that could have easily been pulled into the main code base, but his refusal to consider anyone's ideas but his own made these fractures a reality.

Endre Ady was born #OTD in 1877.

Some of his notable poetry collections include "Új versek" (New Poems, 1906), "A Holnap" (Tomorrow, 1908), and "A halottak élén" (At the Head of the Dead, 1918).

Since I saw a report about 1984 (because of a new audio version done for motherfucking Audible!) with the same talking points, here's the usual correction:

1984 is not a book about total surveillance. It's a book about how to ensure the middle class will never stand with the lower classes against power. It's about how to destroy solidarity. In 1984 only the middle class is surveilled, the lower classes (proles) and the upper class (inner party) are not. It's a book about power and class politics that is more relevant than ever - but not "because our phones surveil us".

Seeing some of the replies thinking a title like this, in a context like this, is remotely OK, says so much about how much progress we still must make if blindness is to stop being used as a demeaning pejorative. dragonscave.space/@jscholes/11…
in reply to Matthew J

Hi. The issue is that "turning a blind eye" to something doesn't mean that you can't see something. It means that you can actually see something, a thing that's usually harmful or problematic in some way, but you're deliberately choosing to ignore it and look the other way. It's the same reason why I dislike it when people similarly use the expression "a deaf ear" to things they'd rather not have to listen to.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

I got a pretty decent maths background and I can do derivatives and integrals and things, but I don't get limits very well. I sort of get it conceptually (something gets closer and closer to x when y grows) but I don't get how you can operate on those. Like the typical f'(x)=(f(x+h)-f(x))/h when h tends to 0... How can you possibly get anything out of that... when there's a tends to above and below, it's like you can kind of use them as real quantities but they're not?

And yes, I am mildly embarrassed about admitting this.

#TIL I learned that German cities used to have a "Bettelvogt" or "Armenvogt" - a minor official whose job was it to "control the behavior" of beggars and other poor people.

They were explicitly tasked to _control_ beggars, and not help them in any way. Which just goes to show that shitty behavior towards poor people by the authorities was well-established long before the advent of #LateStageCapitalism .

INXS: Never Tear Us Apart

Prý nejslavnější hudební klip natáčený v Praze, a to ještě před pádem komunismu, v roce 1987. Prý se jim líbilo, že je to všechno "netknuté" a vypadá to středověce. Každopádně, až se nechce věřit, kolik klipů se v Praze natočilo (a na kolika z nich je hlavní nádraží).

There is talk about about re-layering the transport parts of HTTP: provide a common multiplexing, streaming protocol that works over TCP as well as QUIC.

Motivations are twofold:
- extending HTTP now requires double work or breaks at CDNs (they talk QUIC to clients, but not to backends)
- TCP will not go away and HTTP/2 is weak in regard to DoS handling. No one wants to put more effort into extending h2.

So, there might be a HTTP/5 coming on top of a tcp/quic multipleXing thingie (TUIX?).

in reply to Stefan Eissing

@bagder was t SPDY supposed to be a test to see if it was worth the effort of wildly deploying a new IP protocol beside TCP, UDP, and ICMP?

Didn’t SPDY work out well enough to prompt further research resulting in QUIC?

Can we move forward with the new protocol that rides on IP and fix this properly?

Why the layers on top of layers on top of more layers?

in reply to DrScriptt

@drscriptt because of stupid middleboxes, like everyone's home wifi router for example. The point would also be to allow an HTTP/3 that can "easily" function over either transport
