Oh my God. Overloaded brain, or what? I just realized today that FE stands for front-end. I mean, I knew when people were talking about it that it was a different front, but my brain just didn't make the connection.

Looks like some rest did me good. 😂🤣

i don't think enough people realise that the reason currency came into existence and its primary function today isn't for the easy exchange of goods but rather for the accumulation of wealth beyond what can be justified as personal use

I'm new here. I'm a software engineer living in SF Bay Area. Very curious about social.coop in particular and in general about better ways of interacting, working and being together and in society.

Mastodon: it's going to be okay, lots of us are/have been in the same place and know what you're going through. We're always here to help.

Twitter: Random trolls screeching hate and profanity.

@Gargron And the community is still mostly white guys.

It doesn't seem like folks are trying to manipulate you into anything, but rather just listen to the folks that aren't white guys, because quite frankly they aren't harassed as frequently as others are.

If that's the kind of app you want to build, so be it, but so many people are expressing their willingness to help.

Take advantage of that.

@Are0h @Gargron Having both tech and social leadership responsibilities to a large, heterogeneous, and demanding community is crazy hard. Everyone will speak to you as though their needs are the most urgent, legitimate, obvious, logical...

On that note, I guess I haven't said it lately: there are a lot of projects putting forward work into ActivityPub implementations right now. I'm very grateful for everyone across all those projects who are working on things. I know it's hard work. Not just programmers for those projects, all contributors.

For 3 years I put in a lot of stress and effort into activitypub, and many times I considered giving up. These days I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for making it worth it.

RT @igorpianist: Über 60mio Kriegstote, Holocaust, die totale Vernichtung ganzer Völker, industrialisierter Mord... laut #AfD ein “Vogelschiss”. Wo bleibt der Superaufschrei? Und diese Faschisten sitzen im Parlament. Menschen, die sich von denen repräsentiert fühlen, sind verloren. Ein Alptraum. https://t.co/4dnS5n1Zdd

So when some of you said "it's great that GDPR forces people to ask me about another opt-in for storing data or sending newsletters", under GDPR itself, emailing that question is illegal *especially* in the case that you haven't given consent yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just received this from No-IP:

"Note: This email is a required legal notice; it is not a marketing or promotional email. That is why this email does not contain an unsubscribe link and why you are receiving this email even though you may have unsubscribed from No-IP's marketing emails."

I really like the part with "We're spamming you legally even if you unsuscribed from these emails"

This meme has potential:

People: "LOL, politicians have no idea how the Internet works at all."

The same people: "It's a great idea that the EU tries to regulate the entire Internet via unlimited chains of responsibility among companies across borders. We as citizens should be legally forbidden to make our own decisions about what servers and people we connect to, for our own good."
