  there are groups on mastodon?

  Elon quitting as CEO is not enough. He has to divest from tesla as well. His obscene wealth is the problem, and as long as his wealth is in the company I’m going to be pulling for it to tank to zero.

  real cops do this too, though not execution style.

  So I guess ‘Nicole’ is a bot or something? Feeling FOMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App Stores on Android: F-Droid? Accrescent? Others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t looked at it in detail. I like F-Droid because the apps seem to be non-predatory OSS that gets the job done. Its not really a ‘store’ though. I think some apps have a paid Play Store release and a free F-Droid release, to make it easy to support the devs if you want.

  Does accrescent support non-free apps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get people to use Mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll add to this that when I first registered at mastodon.social, my default view was some fancied up multi-column monstrosity. I managed to turn most of that off, but it was super confusing at first. Start simple and let users add complexity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I order stuff from ebay. Got a phone on the way from china right now. Ebay work-alike might not be a bad place to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another issue might be, how do you deal with people selling illegal items/services? How do you avoid “Silk Road” style liability? Would there be a blacklist that someone running an instance could use so they don’t have to vet everyone they are federated with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if you can ‘outsource’ trust by relying on payment systems? If a seller uses stripe and scams some users, stripe would freeze their account right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really like the idea of a grassroots Amazon competitor. That said,

  You need to have a high level of trust. A federated network of shady scams that just take your money and send you nothing half the time is not going to fly. Is there a vetting process, who controls that process, how’s all that work. If its ‘good seller’ reviews, how are those stats protected from manipulation.

  You need to have extreme ease of use. UI barriers that seem trivial to developers can sink a platform.

  If there are problems solvable by centralization, maybe that could be done as a cooperative organization which devs and vendors can join and run democratically.

  Unaffected since I’ve never participated in the Kindle ecosystem. I’ve been gifted a few Kindles but never was on board with that walled garden. Fuck Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s FE?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rust is Eating JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s room for a rust-lite language that is GCed. Something with a functional-style type system and that compiles to machine code.

  Roc is a candidate for this language. Basically Elm that compiles to machine code, but with a number of tweaks to make it work for more than just a web front end. Like Elm, the type system is haskell like, but simplified.

  why do I want to carry a printer with me? no. this sounds more like a point-of-sale device.

  More precisely, medical business strategy is a leaky abstraction; the assassination is the leak.
