  Are you calling the server list on joinmastodon.org “the federation”? Because it’s not; it’s literally just a list. Nothing about the list tells you about any actual federation between instances. Without a doubt there are instances on that list that are federated with ones not on that list and vice versa. It’s not even the only list out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grocery stores should have food banks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This would be a good thing, though I think it’s trickier than it appears:

  • How arbitrary are “best before” and “expires on” labels and how do they differ from food to food?
  • How do the labels themselves differ from each other and how to do they differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction?
  • Could acknowledging that “expired” food is still good cause expiry dates to just be extended? How far could they be extended before food actually is dangerous past the label?
  • How does liability work when someone gets sick from “expired” food? Does it change when it’s part of a structured donation system?
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you currently handle Covid infections?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of comments already telling you to stay home so I don’t think I need to. What I will say is if you don’t want to contribute to the growing number of variants, you’ll stay home. Variants largely arise from mutations in the virus during replication. Humans are virus-replication machines. If you’re infected you could be carrying a new variant right now and the only way to stop it is to let it die inside you. Your body’s immune system will already be in full swing and be in the best position to deal with it as opposed to an uninfected person.

  Don’t contribute to the endemicity of COVID and stay home.

  My default sort is Hot because I thought it sorted by upvotes/likes. Is that not the case?

  Available on desktop device (Windows, MacOS, Linux), because decentralized network may cause high amount of cellular data usage when connecting with nodes.

  It looks like SimpleX does have a desktop app, it’s just via cli: github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone please explain like I'm five the controversy involving Oracle, Red Hat, and SUSE?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This will be a terrible answer to your question, but I recently listened to this episode of the Linux Unplugged podcast and they seem try to explain the situation from Red Hat’s perspective. It sounds very technical, but it was interesting to listen to because up until then I had only been seeing anti Red Hat commentary online.
