This is a great list and thanks for posting it.

Also, the pixelfed guy needs to give up full control of his project (no matter how nicely or reasonably he argues “not yet”). I have asked on mastodon and nobody seems to know of anyone else who truly understands the project so if he dies or gets disappeared the project… Dies? Maybe? More concerningly, it isn’t open source. He cotes good reasons for this (the massive labor to refactor and whatever else goes into open sourcing a functioning project), but he also occasionally humblebrags about being offered huge sums of money to sell it to corporations. I suspect it will become corporate at some point if he doesn’t open source it soon.

Did you try sum(squash[0, 3], na.rm = TRUE)?

Ohy god it took me a full minute to realize that I wasn’t looking at three stylized vaginas.

To be fair, I have seen several neolithic Venus figurines lately.

Yeah, that’s a possibility. However, as some Mastodon folks said recently, no platform is forever. Signal’s prospects seem reasonable to me, right now. If they co corporate and enshittify next week, I won’t feel my time and investment with them was a waste, nor my financial support (which hasn’t been much, tbh).

ha. That site is fun. I’m also clueless about some of it. Do you know what the “Come and find it” shirt references? I have a couple of guesses, but I really don’t know.

This is some good info about Matrix, thanks. I’ve been considering it as a Discord alternative.

This comment right here is going to make somebody $50. From me.
