@lispi314 I am definitely living below the poverty line.

Honestly, I wouldn't really call it "living" but I have worse news for the "blocks them and then stops using their code" person:

FOSS is already in *everything*.

Always has been. Presumably, always will be.

OpenBSD's libc was forked and is in Android as bionic.

OpenBSD's pf and OpenSSH and LibreSSL are in macOS.

OpenBSD was the basis for Microsoft's SFU (Services For UNIX).

As just, a few examples.

You can't get away from open source software, period.

The TCP/IP stack widely (re)used by everyone on the Internet? Derived from Dr. Marshal Kirk McKusick's work as a grad student at UC Berkeley's CSRG/BSD too.

sendmail? The reference SMTP (email) server? Open source.

BIND? The reference DNS (domain name system) implementation? Open source.

@foone Cancelled, almost immediately?

Have you seen who owns that site? ;)

@amigalove #Alt4You
An Amiga 3000 with what is presumably Deluxe Paint and Tutankhamun an image of Tutankhamun loaded on screen.

An Amiga Zone coffee mug to the right of the chassis with the distinctive red and white "boing" ball over the I in AMIGA.

(I dig your images but I sincerely wish you would write your own Alt Text for accessibility!)

/me observes that "The Kid"'s WordPress blog which has some Perl scripts to copy replies from ActivityPub/FediVerse/Mastodon doesn't actually sync changes to those replies if the upstream message was revised.

Still, I guess it's not much different than posting directly to said blog, and also: not being able to edit a post.

/me wonders if the official WordPress ActivityPub/Mastodon support is as bad?

We had libre/free open source BBSes which had message editing functionality in the 1980s, Citadel BBSes' networking even had "anti-vortexing" (their nomenclature for message deduplication). Heck, The Mother of All Demos showed off collaborative networked editing in the 1960s. That kind of functionality, to me, is fundamental. To WordPress in 2023: apparently it's still unimplemented?

Maybe someday I won't be phased by how regressive some popularized technology is, but today is not that day.

A bit last minute but hopefully not too late.

Since this is right now, 21:00 UTC February 25th is the date!
