The way you get a really good score in Hotline Miami is to just do the most retarded thing you can, with no regard for whether or not it's retarded. Hopefully things don't get so chaotic that this is the best strategy in general.

@Bladural @sun @thatbrickster Yeah, I played it right after playing MGSV and RDR2 and you do things the opposite way in those. -

@vic @mint @grillchen @lucy @sun IPFS's codebase is a turd on fire and their network is a shitshow but being drop-in compatible in a limited context wouldn't be a bad thing. -

@syzygy @grillchen @lucy @mint @sun @vic I may or may not have mentioned him but maradydd and some others talked about it at length. I don't know if the website is still up; I did read the IRC conversation where he tries to get everyone to cancel a guy for being ex-military ("how many innocent iraqis did you kill" / "i feel so unsafe right now you guys" / etc.) and he's kind of a sociopath. -

Appelbaum is a creepy asshole; I don't recognize Muffett's name but it does say "Facebook" under it and that's enough.
I do not understand the point of forcing that behavior. I get the rationale but it seems pretty pointless. -

@mint @sun @grillchen @lucy @vic curl started "supporting" it by redirecting to a gateway. Brave just uses the JS library. -

@sun @grillchen @lucy I would be delighted. One of the things I have slated is getting Pleroma to fetch objects from alternative sources (in this case, a locally running Revolver) so as to allow the network to distribute posts rather than making every server fetch the same thing from the origin and flooding smaller boxes or failing to fetch posts when an instance is down; same thing with media, which could be a big deal (and if I can get Pleroma to feed the media directly to Revolver, even better). Once it's easy to fetch even when the other instance is down, it should be possible to make object expiration cheaper. -

I came really close to calling it "Packed/Indexed/Sharded Storage DB" and then backed out. -

@sun @grillchen @lucy It's Go. I actually would have written it in C but it is easier to port Go programs from Plan 9 to Linux than it is to do the same for C programs and I've been doing the development on Plan 9; the binaries running on FSE/Screamshitter/Apotheosis/etc. were just built from the same mkfile on the Plan 9 machine. (It'd be "typedef PiDB struct" in C, and I'd be using lower-case letters because fuck CamelCase.)
(I think I'm already pushing it by calling the internal K/V store "the ID Index Orthogonality Table". If I am too whimsical the code will read like Honk's and I like Honk but it is sometimes not as easy to read when all of the words rhyme and differ in only one letter. There was a conlang where the guy had made related words share prefixes, and it turns out that this was a terrible thing: if you make the first syllable of your words for "fork" and "knife" and "spoon" the same, it makes it less fault-tolerant. No one hears "fork" and thinks you might have said "knife", they sound and look very different from all of the other words that might be used in their place in a given context. It's fine that a fork on the table and a fort on a hill sound similar enough to be easily confused because you do not usually use them in the same context, same reason "hashi" is "bridge" and "chopsticks" in Japanese. Like words have a local optimum for avoiding ambiguity. I think Honk's readability kind of suffers from zonking its donks throughout the codebase.) -

@meso It was absolutely insane. Every movie that contained a shot of the Twin Towers was blacklisted, entire movies were delayed to rewrite/reshoot, like Spiderman had put a web between the Twin Towers to catch a helicopter and that was scrapped. MGS2 had the Big Shell crashing into New York and Konami made them move it. I'd never seen anything like the reaction to 9/11. -

@lucy @grillchen @sun I guess I can't see posts from brotka.st, but it is P2P fedi and designed to avoid the problems of servers being heavyweight and difficult to maintain, the handshake problem of post distribution, the liability/moderation problems, the imbalance between users and admins (specifically things like users having less control than admins about what sort of thing they see and some of the privacy issues), the bandwidth problems for content distribution, the reliance on DNS.
It is also a thing that I just avoided putting "PissDB" into and decided to call it "PiDB". -

@lucy @grillchen @sun No, it is not like either of those. It'd probably be closer to SSB if you removed a lot of the brain damage and came up with a clever way to bridge to fedi and you didn't hate the clearnet.
I addressed Nostr on the status page on the blog: https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/status.html#every_question_i_have_gotten_about_nostr
I didn't address SSB on the blog because no one uses SSB. -

@colonelj I said everything I've got to say to the guy, and it's more or less the same thing I said in the thread yesterday. Sorry to disappoint but since he's been gone, it's been fine; someone's causing trouble and it's better if they stop, he left about a year ago, so there's not much to say besides "Don't come back starting shit." I don't have anything new to say about Gleason except that I called it and that I wish he wouldn't.
> as expected, backs their business partner.
You ought to know that's not the deal; after I saw him blow up at me out of nowhere (all I'd posted was "Did Soapbox remove the tags from the body of the post? I hate that.") and then saw that he'd done that to everyone that had so much as mentioned the change, I concluded that he's a liability and said as much. He has, since then, burned every team that let him on. I was friends with graf when he disagreed on that point, and I am still friends with graf after he came to the same conclusion.
