It'd be cool if more sites supported WebMentions (or similar).
For example, it'd be cool if I could have the handy features Github has where they inline references with backlinks, but across arbitrary domains. This'd make stuff like project management outside of Github easier to deal with.

See these words from @chockenberry, developer of Twitterific?
Exactly what I said would happen when Elon Musk screwed over 3rd Party developers.
Twitter didn't create broad adoption of Twitter. It was 3rd party developers.
Now devs are pissed—much more than they were before.
What will they do next?
Drive broad adoption of the Fediverse.
Not only former Twitter developer making these moves. @tapbots is also making an app for the Fediverse.
Bad move, Twitter!

Does anyone know of a ... geowiki? software?
Something that lets you have pages organized by like streets and parks and maybe other openstreetmaps objects ,but have a forum or page there to discuss?

My household's cat has been wanting to sleep with me more often since the housemate she usually sleeps with is away.
It's cute, but sometimes she gets too excited by my reptiles and needs to be yeeted out so I can actually sleep.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to sell bread when families are starving?"

Really thankful that most of the cool infosec nerds from twitter are on here. Makes the migration oftwitter that much easier. 🥰
OMG what if twitter started paywalling tweets lime those online newspapers do. First three tweets are free, then you gotta pay for blue with an annoying banner all in your face
@garbados sorry for the like spam but you just happened to have all the best toots on my feed 🤷🤷

The character of the light made it possible to get the texture and color in the feathers.
I'm legit so happy that the latest version of Node.js has support for global `fetch` and all the APIs that depend on it (like Blob, FormData, ReadableStream).
Makes implementing fancy protocol handlers and doing HTTP requests way nicer.

Tech is the funniest industry and it always will be.
It's a bunch of people who think they are creatures of pure logic, but every problem they try to solve turns out to be a human problem that is inherently illogical.
The results are endlessly hysterical.

I’d been hearing about the coal-mine protests in Germany, but this photo by Sean Gallup is the first that gave me a real sense of the titanic size of the thing and what’s being protested. Just… unreal.

"Do I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet?"
That's right. I tied a badger to your desk.
@andrew_chou Yeah, also just setting it up can be a pain in the ass. I tried to self host a bunch of times before I gave up and paid etke.cc to do the setup on my own digital ocean droplet
@andrew_chou I think my main complaint with Matrix is that it starts getting super slow as the number of chats you enter and the number of people in those chats grows. Having hudreds of channels with thousands of participants means that Element takes like 20-30 seconds to load and freezes the page while it does so. :P
Probably optimizations that can be made to improve the situation, but it's not great by default.
Fluffychat is a little faster, but can still end up waiting a few seconds to load
@andrew_chou I really enjoy matrix for the bridging aspect personally. I have all my slacks/discords/signals bridge there and then I can organize things into spaces based on what's actually useful.
Defs not a perfect tool either.
Hypha mostly uses Matrix and Slack with focused channels that people opt into which has been convenient.
