   It’s hard. We just tried that with a design-build firm and they managed some very impressive fuck ups. If I was gonna do it again, I would: 1) hire a separate, independent architect 2) spend more money on lawyers to review contracts up fron

   Well said. I wonder if maybe It Can Be Different This Time. I think it will take focused work at the protocol level, because you’re right that the Fediverse is a juicy target. I worry that the next 6 months will be a war against spam and ot

   Hmm counting from Identi.ca? Fair enough. What’s the term you prefer for this stage of its growth then? The jump to 7 figures of MAU in the wake of Twitter’s collapse seems like an important change to me. The idea might be 15 years old, but

   Yeah. The vision of a unified fediverse at Twitter scale seems unhelpful. The whole point is that you don’t have to align with everyone else, you can do your own thing and opt into the world the way you want. This contradiction flares up in

   If you want to help make the Fediverse happen, there appears to be a serious need for energy and ideas in the standards effort. I have a thread going here https://hachyderm.io/@PeterBronez/109688815511361197 But the up

   I have a thread going where I note Fediverse activity of Serious Credible Organizations. Medium is a stretch, but I added them because they at least have Serious Funding. https://hachyderm.io/@PeterBronez/10955219894310

    Thanks for sharing! What’s your evidence for Miele’s durability? Is it just their “pro at home” line, or all of them?

    +1 for Kagi. The lenses and customization are nice, but I switched just for the raw query speed. It’s the snappiest service I use daily.

    Yeahhh Roland kinda sucks lately. This concept has some cool stuff, but in synth land they kinda missed the boat. Everyone else is doing this awesome pure analog renaissance and Roland is just doing emulation. They’re not even leading digit

    I think this is where NFT could actually be useful. Buy a video, and you have a license for it. The money goes to the people who made it. Maybe you resell that license sometime, whatever. The point is that you can get the actual video file

    That has been my experience. It’s astonishing to see folks advocate for fascist theocracy when that’s Jesus taught pretty much the opposite.

    yeah the snarky responses aren't great. Maybe a better play would be to let the responses roll, then do a blog post discussing the use of technology in law enforcement. They let the haters get under their skin and provoke an aggressive

    I agree. They hired a person who was a field tech for a police department focused on organized crime. That's perfectly respectable work that society needs. It's great place to get a lot of maker experience. I respect Raspberry Pi

    nope. No way the modern economy could function if you had to lug around pallets of cash all the time. Similar to the reasoning for going off the gold standard. The problem, of course, is that when the money is just a number on a screen, it&

    I'm sorry to say that you are incorrect. There is not a specific number of itemized money units that define a fixed money supply. In fact, not even stock certificates work that way! It's all elastic, and central banks have sophist

    I’m seeing a lot of that in the Fediverse right now. Stuff that worked just fine for years is suddenly overwhelmed by the usage spike. Lots of volunteers putting in lots of cycles to scale things. Fortunately it seems to be mostly working.
