So it’s up to you whether you want to give away licenses to your content. You have been led to believe that the necessary cost of using internet services is to give away a broad license. It’s not, you have options.

@dakedres Yeah, they should at least consider giving the option of setting the font in the app 😭
@kate I think their aversion to RDF and JSON-LD would mean any effort would need to start from the outside.
@kate Probably no. Mostly cause of data model and cryptography mismatch. I really wish they had started with the same data model at least. I'll likely be building bridges for some clients though it won't be "verifiable" and you'll need to "trust" the bridge.

Sometimes, I just use `return` as a means to comment out code when redoing a function.

So the acronym #XR is just #VR, #AR, and other-R tech - the X has no meaning, it's just a placeholder. (In the OpenXR logo, the X is literally made up of an A and V shape). But, some folks call it "Extended Reality" which I have trouble aceepting: it feels like a backronym, really awkward. The beauty of XR was that it was an umbrella term over the other existing "reality" terms. But if I'm gonna lose the "X in XR has no specific meaning" debate... 😉
🔥 Hot take: XR stands for "trans reality" 🔥
@neauoire Fave talk so far!
@rolltime Regarding electron, I make sure to set the font everywhere to "system-ui" which uses the system preferences instead of random shit loaded from google. It works great cross-platform.
I wish we could say the same thing for font and background color instead of havinf devs decide what "light" and "dark" mode look like.

a friend is nearly in tears because changing their KDE font to opendyslexic also changed the font ePubs render in in okular, meaning they can actually read their assignments.
this is why apps respecting your preferences is important, and it's why libre software (and KDE in particular) is so awesome.
unrelatedly, fuck electron.
Having convos on what the story for #WebMentions / #ActivityStream integration will look like for #DistributedPress
Hoping to iron out a cool new #p2p social layer on top of your #dweb sites later this year!

If I were designing a fediverse-with-accounts-delinked-from-instances, and if you've been watching this account long enough then you know I have, I would have at least as a fallback supported addressing an account by a hash of its signing keys or something. Does Bluesky have such a fallback? Will it? Does it have a way of detecting that the https signing key for a domain has suddenly changed? Will it?
