XMPP and SIP are decentralized, federated, and self hostable as well and they had bridges before matrix was a thing. The main draw for matrix for me is it has the most modern bridges. Not because the protocol allows it but because it’s where people have been making them lately. The main downside I’ve noticed is large rooms take an inordinate amount of time to join and sync. I still enjoy matrix I just don’t think it’s as unique as this pitch makes it out to be.
What if someone disagrees with that and wants to include potential or alleged misinformation? Should it be censored because it is your wish to do so? I would heavily dislike that approach and would not like to accommodate your wishes. We could just use different platforms and be fine with that. Maybe you could use a platform provided by government? Revival of the old times perhaps?
Maybe the internet isn’t a good analog of the square.

I’m sure there are taverns near any reader here where one could “say the wrong things” and be asked to leave or maybe roughed up or even worse. Those consequences might be an important part of this not-really-discourse-or-free-speech-but-we-want-to-treat-it-like-free-speech.

Hard to say what the best thing is. Huge parts of our society don’t like consequences for actions.
UpstartD was the good alternative offered by Canonical, but Redhat finally won with their SystemD.
facebook is bad because it is run with an iron fist by a single person. Eventually Zuckerberg was surrounded by yesmen.

This is almost impossible to avoid. With wealth inequality on the rise, the yesman industry has developed a lot of tradecraft that has made them better at the extraction of that wealth.

This creates mania, and with no oversight, the entire company is subject to his manic whims.
Some tracks are more hard on them than others, but I haven't heard much about any negative affects in NASCAR besides feeling dizzy or off balance for several hours after a race. Open wheel drivers commonly pull over 5 G's though in corners. Their heads are supported, but I would think your brain getting pulled to one side with that much force for over an hour can't be a net positive.

Not speaking negatively about it of course - to each their own. I raced Superbikes for eight years and you might as well throw risk tolerance completely out the window with that kind of racing.

> You might get racist boards, but then its easy to get rid of all of them at once.

You don't have to shut them down, you know. The British Government did this all throughout the 1970s to 1990s, where pubs (and later online services) where Republican terrorists hung out were very much left alone. They could have swooped in and scooped the lot up, but they didn't.

Because if they ever did want to scoop them all up, they knew exactly where to look, and why would you disturb that?
> You want to solve the problem of people saying racist things, so you decide to destroy the public square

"Public Square" online is a fallacy. A public square is typically thought of where someone grabs the attention of all passerby and is voicing their thoughts. Those thoughts voiced are short lived and can only be broadcast as far as the sound wave will carry them. Social media like twitter allows millions of people to spread their thoughts, commentary and keep them semi-permanently online for a long time, decade or more.

I never stated I was solving the problem of people saying racist things. I'm challenging the assumption that designing a new social media platform should repeat existing designs that have public content with public comments driven by advertisements. In my opinion if someone designs with that premise it will end up the same as the existing social media platforms we have today (with a side effect of new JS frameworks being borne).

Is this the only product design Tech has: public content and sell advertisements?
Let's think one level of abstraction higher - do we want to marginalize voices in the first place, given that some of them are fighting oppression and injustice, and others are advocating for bigotry and hate? That is, if we cannot effectively discriminate between those two types of voices, whether because "moderation doesn't scale" or any other valid technical reason, or because it's not always possible to disentangle "legitimate" from "illegitimate" marginalized voices. It's not a binary category, because people who advocate for stuff are not one-dimensional caricatures. Do we accept the bad in the name of $good_stuff_that_comes_with_making_marginalized_voices_heard, or do we marginalize it all straight into oblivion by going after the forums of spreading ideas?

The answer to this question seems almost implicit for you, but it's far from obvious to me.

Well, look at Trump.

Trump was kicked from Twitter, so he made an alternative one (Truth Social). It seems to be running on Mastodon, which is what you suggested; and he made some custom app, which you suggested.

Unfortunately, I cannot see Truth, as Truth is America-only, apparently.

edit: Gab made an alternative Twitter, also based on Mastodon.

You see... right-wingers _had_ to do alternative Twitters as they were kicked of the real one. They have an experience in this.
It would make sense for Chrome not to include JPEG XL in the first place with some list of explicit reasons. It does not make sense to implement it, hide behind a flag, and then remove, claiming there is not enough interest -- when there's no way to reliably gauge interest from this "experiment".

Each system has a text file where I note down the steps I did to install and configure something new or also when doing major changes. Also the steps for less often routine jobs (like major OS updates) get entries. On one hand it is kind of a log book what changed on the systems and also is a wonderful sources for when you need to do it the next time.

Because you need a VM with GC on the server so it doesn't crash and can share memory between cores properly.

On the client you can go lower since deploying new buggy code only affects some of the clients and not the entire server (unless you deploy completely untested patches).

- Go has no VM

At my last onsite office job, there was a deli on the first floor and we were essentially captive customers; in theory there were plenty of places to walk within a half hour walk, but in practice its raining and 40 degrees so we were forced to shop at the company store, so to speak.

I believe that the end goal of systemd is to end Linux distributions as anything other than a flavor.

DNS is the public town square: when using browsers, navigating across domains, we are all fundamentally gathered in the DNS space. Me having "foo.com" is akin to setting up a stall in this public town square and selling my vegetables, and you are free to visit "foo.com" and buy into my ideology, or simply never visit it.

And yes, precisely, "foo.com", or "twitter.com", or "tiktok.com", cannot, by definition, be digital public squares: they are just stalls, booths, were we go and check certain vegetables.

You just invented Indy racing. And it's excellent.
Yeah, a more accurate measurement would be "baseline + X" - you don't really need to go above the average household size, but you can fit people in way denser than 25m^2 (270 sq ft) if they share common areas. The average dorm room is 230 sq ft (with a roommate!) but the dorm provides common areas and other amenities.

Another thing to consider when comparing countries is what is considered "living space" and what is not - some areas have large porches that are not considered "living space" even though they serve similar functions to what a living room might in other parts of the world.
Just because the project is moving, doesn't mean it's moving in the right direction.

What I like about linux in general, is that there are lots of small tools, with a reduced and specific scope, that do their job well. Systemd seems to want to do and control everything.
Being extroverted is not a useful skill. Communicating well when necessary is. Extroverts are not necessairily "good at communication" by nature.

I employ a very very introverted individual. When he comes to my desk, one can be absolutely assured you need to pay attention, because what he's about to say is 1. important, 2. well thought out, 3. he wouldn't be there if it weren't absolutely necessary.

The point being: everyone (ex and in) should learn to communicate better; _that_ is the useful skill.
That unfortunately doesn't help me. I have imposter syndrome. Then I realize "who am I to think I deserve to have imposter syndrome? What have I accomplish for anybody to even think I might be an imposter?"

Twitter devolving into 4chan or as you say "diversity of thought" will not lend itself to having journalists wanting to keep their status on the site.
People have an extremely dependent relationship with Twitter. It’s more like gambling than media. They will absolutely pay.
XMPP with a frozen set of extensions could work but without that you’ll end up creating iMessage where leaving the bubble has to fall back to the lowest common denominator or the Chrome problem where one large vendor will go buck wild and force everyone to play catch-up forever.
They'll likely use optimization laws of nature to get perfect solutions instantly, like what people try to get nowadays in some labs with electricity finding the shortest path/route immediately.
It’s clearly a trade-off decision. If paying will give you access to a target audience people will pay. But I agree that you need some kind of business to be willing to pay.
Facebook or Instagram doesnt have monitization problem. Wouldn't this be short sighted / greedy?
"as Twitter becomes open to more diversity of thought."

That remains to be seen. It might as well just lead to a shift of thought. Or that all opinions are welcome, but only those get traction and an audience, that happen to align to the opinions of Musk (and whoever else, who has invested heavily behind the scenes)
Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app
Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies.

I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL.

It's set up currently to support a single trail, where the trail and trail markers are deployed with the rest of the app. So it's single-use in that way. For future trips, I can simply swap out the GPX files and deploy.

I am releasing it with an open source license in case anyone wants to use it as a boilerplate to create their own.
I'll tell you what someone should have told Zuck.

You need to separate out the permissions for synchronous communication and async since we already build an "alternative twitter" in the 2000s -- it was called... SMS.

What you are going to need to do is VERY CLEARLY distinguish what is permission for lack of a better phrasing... "broadcast" from permission for synchronous comms, because those are two VERY different things, both in a social sense and in an IT sense.

(You do know what peer to peer means... right?)

I signed up for Facebook, and to me it was like "*Wait... do these goddamn pedophiles not know some of us went to computer camp?"

The air of entitlement off the folks I spidered off from that network of Harvard people was... intense.

For context, after Columbine, the school I was in told us how to dial out (9, then 911) and in parallel, told us if we wanted we could apply to the township police.

I didn't have the same ability to express myself back then, so I wasn't able to articulate what I will today, in a less threatening way:

Why the fuck would I call the police if someone shot my teachers? They abuse me. They smirk that they think it's funny because we have less money, we only get to sue them if it's a test case with the ACLU.

Right as I was getting to a point I could put it that simply, 9/11 happened, and it felt like they took those... techniques... and deployed them on the rest of the world. Which sucked, since back in 412, up until the Iraq war you could pump gas then go into the station to pay for it.

(They'd take down your plate if you drove off.)

Anyways, please include a voice chat option in your network... I am on the autistic spectrum, but I've gotten a lot better at spotting when someone is a literally a spy and voice gives a lot of information.

(Or you could skip all of the above, and focus on why people seem to need to move from network to network, when it feels like in a comedy context, we've known what's OK for a very long time?)
I was talking about is making up a new markup language, which doesn't have to inherit the distinctions and behaviors of HTML.

If, in this language, you wanted to have this feature in combination with what I proposed, you could simply mark the attribute-like children, to inform the engine that it should apply different defaults for them and unmarked children that it doesn't recognize.

This is what I do in the first variant of my language:

a [
href=[...]
[...]
]

the `=` appended to `href` marks it as an attribute.

This certainly simplifies things when translating to HTML.

But if we were not constrained by the legacy of HTML then perhaps bothering with this when designing a new language would be unnecessary. Maybe not having this default behavior does not matter in practice and you can have a simpler language without it.

To determine whether that's the case it would help to answer: when is the feature you described useful in HTML? And also: when is this feature harmful?
Yes it will, if those people are creating the content for some other goal - e.g. political, commercial, publicity, etc.
Seems pretty complicated to me. There’s lots of steps involved which increases the chance of something going wrong. For example, the self signed cert will eventually expire, how easy would it be to renew it? How do I keep this up to date?

It would just be a heck of a lot easier to just use KeePass and save the database on a SD card.
Most are ovals, yes, but in those there's also banking involved, 30+ degrees in corners, so the idea of just turning left is missing a very important nuance to it. Outer tires are inflated more, usually 10+ PSI.

> XMPP doesn't (to my knowledge) have any good, standardized way of dealing with offline communications and catching up with messages.

It does. Incoming and outgoing messages are synchronized across all your devices. Work on that feature began in 2012 (before Matrix was born), and is specified in XEP-0313: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html

Due to people having multiple devices, and those devices having unreliable connections, it's obviously an essential part of any XMPP-based IM client these days. It's been required for full XMPP IM compliance since at least 2018.

> And due to licensing of OSS, it may be a bad thing for a company to build their multi-billion dollar business on something they need to open source for someone to immediately knock them off and kill their business.

Nobody, other than a company that makes only CPUs or CPU IP, adds value in the CPU. If you're anybody else, a CPU is a commodity dingus that you need to run your software, which is where the interesting things for your billion dollar business go on.

If you are a large user of CPUs, or even CPU IP, there's only so much you're going to pay before you band together with other large users and cut out the person collecting the payments. The freedom to make small tweaks may also be a a nice extra for a very few users. Maybe you need a special functional unit to speed something up. But your core value is not going to be in those tweaks, and in fact you save money if you can upstream them and get somebody else to do some or all of the maintenance.

That's what happened with the operating system layer. Nobody worries that they're "building their business" on the Linux kernel.

When did paying 30% of your paycheck in rent become "very affordable?"
Lots of devices attached to ongoing services today are sold for a one-time fee. For most of their existence, Microsoft and Adobe had very sustainable businesses based on one-time fees. It is a fine model. Software companies today are addicted to "recurring revenue" (thinking that is the only way to get sustainable cash flow), but a lot of people will pay you $20 once who would never pay you $1/month, and there will always be new people using popular products.

One-time fees are a perfectly fine model for a business, even if it is unfashionable currently.

That's a pretty long list of small changes, but nothing really sticks out. I don't really see any ground of discussion about this.
Apparently there are about 400,000 currently verified users. So, assuming 100% buy in (or enough people buying the blue check mark that it makes up for those who don't), that brings the total revenue from this scheme to ~$100M a year, or about 2% of Twitter's current $5B annual revenue.
