New blog post: Make your own Personal Hub

With the slow decay of the big social media sites and spread of userbases to different ends of the internet, it's time to make your home in the Internet.

Does your social network have a large marketable plushy?

Yes, it does!

Renaming "Unlisted" to "Quiet public" is still such a weird move.

The Winamp source code is here!

(and it has a horrendous license that people are rightfully complaining about already)

https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp

So far:
* License was probably not lawyered, so it contradicts itself a lot, even though they probably meant "redistributions need to drop all branding and attachment to Winamp" which is fair
* The license violates GitHub terms of service, because the ToS grant the right to fork for every public repository
* The source includes commercial or non-distributable libraries
* SHOUTcast server side code is included in the repo (lol???)

Funniest bit:

"Forking is not allowed" vs. "Contributions encouraged"

On GitHub, that requires a fork however 🤔

or do they want us to use git send-email?

hot take @ people with more than 3 pinned posts on their profile:

get a website

why does the Thunderbird front page look like it's a GitHub product :neocat_woozy:

Happy New Year, fedi! 🎉🎉

@ada curse and blessing, in it's own way.

it sucks that it is like this, but it's great forks at least enable change, where with closed systems we would just have to live with it.

forks/fork maintenance really depends on the projects and the "why people fork".

@solidsanek @lain this will only net you deferation from Ray, not sure if they like being traced.

@halcy spiderman button? 🤔

To be honest, a lot of Twitter people storming misskey.io isn't that bad.

I mean, it basically is the same as "mastodon.social situations", but we really can't give much of a shitg about that.

People are used to their silos, and let them toy around on here for a while, if they stick, they might eventually migrate to another server or even software, but before this, there's a long phase of "no idea what exactly this is" and it's hard for us to solve that anyway.

@lain rewrite all fedi docs to be analogies of sex so people can understand them easier

@lain also, isn't that wrong because if HTML and a calendar invite have sex, the result is more likely to be WebDAV.

@lain > which is a little like HTML had sex with a calendar invite

that one caught me off guard

@puniko achja, kommst du eigentlich auf die Revision dieses Jahr? >:3

good morning, fedi!

@puniko na, wie geht's, wie steht's?

@puniko ganz gut soweit, lieg noch im Bett und bin zu faul aufzustehen!
