@aral it wasn't shipping Wayland at all when you published the piece about accessibility, though. Of those on your list, elementary held back from shipping the busted experience. That seemed to be worth noting!

@aral I followed that whole saga, it was dismal. Glad the Mac is working better for you.

You should fix the note in your post that elementary is broken, because it still uses accessible X11 by default (Wayland will be an option in the upcoming release, but will not be the only option until accessibility features are mature there.)

@aral nice! I've thought about building a PC in that case but don't think I really have the space for it. Hope you find a good buyer, and condolences on the Mac!

@mntmn saying "I prefer a compiled binary for deployment simplicity" makes sense. Framing that requirement as "needs to use modern technology" came off as whimsical 🍃

@mntmn requesting a compiled language on top of the rest comes off as deeply unserious. What's the actual requirement? Memory constrained environment etc? Why not say that?

@mntmn no attack intended.

@mntmn implying scripting languages aren't modern shows you're not serious about this. Go ahead and NIH it in rust.

@aral you wouldn't normally use a server side framework for something like this react kawaii app, right? I guess that put me in the frame of mind to be surprised. Could be an interesting area to improve on the state of the art.

@aral it seems shocking that one could easily write a bug that shares state outside your machine. Sounds like a footgun. Can there be some kind of more explicit mechanism where you mark consent for content to be shared over the network, and unmarked content warns or errors out?

@aral where does the 9MB live? What's the payload size delivered to the client?

@aral I saw posts from the Mastodon team saying unequivocally their operations are remaining in the EU and that the US entity exists only to raise funds for development of the Fediverse and Mastodon in particular. Did you read the same posts & doubt them? I'm interested in whether you have info/perspective I don't when you claim it's becoming a US entity.

@kranzkrone @w7voa @Gargron @roblen bitching in somebody's general direction and calling that an opinion? Weak sauce.

@aral yes they look so freaking sweet. My inclination is to find 3-10 like-minded people to form a co-op, pool funds to buy hardware, and launch the service. If I started an every-3-months interest meeting, would you want an invite?

@aral want to go in on an Oxide Computer rig and build this? They start at around 100k I think? (Not suggesting this as a "you should simply…" - I've been genuinely interested in running a VPS co-op on free hardware & software for a while, in case you're also tempted in that direction)

@aral have you evaluated DigitalOcean?

@aral I was briefly concerned you were a CCC stan, jeez what a thread. Sounds like a whole headache

@Gargron how does this interact with memes? Would posting a reaction image without crediting the photographer be a violation?

@eff surely this means they're now proactively pushing into to LE databases or something? Hard to believe any good news about this situation.

People spent months raising the alarm that Trans Rescue's "Eden House" was vulnerable to attack and was likely to get raided by police, in hopes of reaching people before they moved into a known unsafe location. They blocked, deflected, took accounts private… and kept their "safe house" open in a country where it's illegal, and now just got raided. A totally preventable disaster, but Trans Rescue is run by negligent self-important doofuses with white savior complexes. https://mastodon.social/@trans_rescue/110583022928552076
