    I expect that in future I'll add support for other !gnusocial servers. such as PostActiv and Mastadon. within the new version of Freedombone

    Incidentally the freedombone.net site is created with org-mode then exported as html. You can specify a css file and such. Doing it that way makes site maintenance trivial.

    It's been a while, so I had almost forgotten how dreadful some job interviews can be.

    I don't think you can legislate away DDoS. To fix the problem you need to move the internet to an IPFS-like system. But that ain't easy.

    @mmn @fnadde42 It's always the case that if you don't care about freedom or having control over your systems then whenever the latest and trendiest chat app comes out then you'll switch to it in a heartbeat. Possibly the solution here could be Matrix. That way the trendy people can still use their trendy app until they find that the company which makes it never actually believed in openness and decides to turn it into a walled garden.

    It's a bit like when folks turn up on !gnusocial and declare "this can't work because where's the business model?"

    @lnxw48 in the real world the law is often either bad, heavily biased towards the interests of the rich or simply ignored by officials following their own agenda. In my opinion secret courts are not really courts, because for a legal process to be valid it must be publicly knowable - otherwise it's just some private decision. Secret courts are really just purely the exercise of arbitrary power.

    @strypey @arunisaac I think there has been some attempt at a W3C standard, but I know that Mike McGirvin (Hubzilla) has no faith in that. Anything implemented needs to be able to define which users can see or interact with what content, otherwise you end up with systems which are public only but of no value for private communications.

    • mangeurdenuage
    @mangeurdenuage this seems like quite immature stuff (and no, I'm not being transphobic). If I were GNU I'd just fork libreboot from before the shitstorm, rename it to "gnuboot" or whatever and find a new maintainer. Even if there is a genuine discrimination case underneath all of this why drag the entire community into it? Surely if it's a personal disagreement then  the relevant people should figure things out between themselves.
