Surprisingly, no. For example, even though every whole number is also a rational number, mathematicians would say the size (or more accurately, the cardinality) of the set of whole numbers is the same as that of the set of rational numbers.

That's just hosting your own, basically. You can pay someone to do that for you.

I don't think that would be a good thing. Google used to host the biggest xmpp server (google talk), and then they defederated from the rest of the network.

Where are you getting that most users have an account on "every" instance? I've been on Mastodon for several years, and this isn't my experience at all. Right now Mastodon is a bit weird; all the servers are overloaded a

Now I think about it, there's a bunch of ideas there that don't involve delivering stuff. If you have 1000 pieces of installed hardware spread around the country in urban areas, you should be able to pay the postal company to take

Thanks, exactly the kind of thing I'm going for. The site is pretty confusing thought, I don't think I could have found it myself. Now I know the link exists I can find it, but I think putting it behind a dropdown on a box labeled

This sounds like a very interesting technique. Does anyone know of a Scientific American level explanation that goes into a bit of depth about this?

I would love a good GUI library for rust. Hopefully this will drive some more development to get there with Iced.

If MS Outlook started refusing to communicate with 163.com, would it be fair to say that email had banned 163.com? Would it be fair to say that email users had to work around this block? I think it's an issue with MS Outlook, not with

I think you are referring to some of the mobile clients not interacting with gab. This wasn't mastodon itself. It's an open protocol, anyone can write a client. If you're referring to something else let me know, I'd be i

I don't really disagree but I want to note that most of Wikipedia hasn't been subject to an edit war. So most of Wikipedia isn't decided by Wikipedia's ritual, but just by whoever put in the effort to write it.

With the federated model, peertube isn't one site, and so in the model there isn't a way to get a list of all the content. It would be like getting the recommended list for WordPress. That said, I like this account for video tips:

These aren't implementation details, these are the things you are actually dealing with when you use git. You have to have some mental model of what the program is doing. With SVN it's basically "the server has the latest ver

If you are talking about the thing that git calls a branch, it's literally just a pointer to a commit. You can look it up manually. Here is a random repo I have on my PC: ~/p/s/sigrok-cli> cat .git/refs/

I for one like how git works. Some of the command names are weird, but I know more sane names are being introduced (e.g. git restore, git switch). Yes, you need to follow a tutorial to use it effectively. Designing for beginning users is of
