You could make a better UX on ActivityPub without inventing a new, incompatible protocol that has a centralization problem. Email is decentralized just fine. They could have also made proposals to ActivityPub or extending it like most applications do. It is just venture capital bullshit cloning Tvitter which makes it more familiar rather than an objectively easier UX.

I would say the same & I don’t even use it—but I would trust it being around the longest & is better than GNOME IMO.

I use aerc thru home-manager accounts on NixOS

When will we see XMPP account support in the profiles?

Alcohol is bad for you health. Workplaces should be better so folks don’t feel the need to injest poison to tolerate it.

I find this pretty bad since everything seems to be compatible until it is too late & it is already adopted. I would like to see more uptake of the alternatives.

Jerboa vs. the website do different things since they render Markdown differently. Markdown itself is so spartan that it doesn’t have many things users want or need, so a bunch of incompatible forks get made & everyone just pretends it is all the same when in reality, it often lies on a single tool’s implementation.

Take AsciiDoc with its verse directive or reStructuredText with its line-block directive. Both get you poetry-style newlines on demand & are a part of the spec instead of left to the implementer.

Yahoo is Bing too

Cherry on the shit sundae was a couple months ago when Google started to require JavaScript be enabled for search.

No. DDG still puts less priority in small blogs over Reddit posts. All bigger search engines put way too much stock & rank in corpo social media.

Pumpkin or peach ice cream has the strongest childhood association for me—a place by the highway sold it fresh & seasonally. These aren’t common flavors either.

& abduco can work if you only need attach/detach

It also functions as a PWA (progressive web app) for those that want those features. The underlying chat protocol has many native clients as well for everyone to have a low-power, low-data-consumption option for encrypted chat, both direct messages & chat rooms.

Movim https://movim.eu/ could serve a dual purpose for you if you don’t yet have chat which often make sense for certain non-tech-savvy circles. It can be an all-in-one application for chat + posts (short form, long, with media, & now whatever those short videos are called)—& this better mimics how many interact with Facebook. It isn’t ActivityPub, but it is FOSS / decentralized (can join or disable connection to other pods/servers). There aren’t chat applications integrated together with ActivityPub—& Mastodon doesn’t provide E2EE.

I maintain quite a few packages on Nixpkgs, so I use Atom to subscribe to a release feeds for those projects so I can get a form of notification independent of the project’s code forge (mostly meaning I can spend less time on MS GitHub).

AUR has a lot of packages but still nowhere near as much as Nixpkgs

So? Not everything is packaged on all distros & you can benefit from sharing & reusing declarative configuration even if for specific scopes (meaning not just NixOS).

Just use Nix. It can run all the packages on whatever platform. It has the largest repository of software & are some of the most up-to-date.
