I came across one a while ago but it seems to be run by some folks that I don't think I could trust or even mention in any professional contexts. :/

I was kinda hoping would be tracking something like this but I didn't see anything in their api

@j3j5 Yeah defs a fan of the bad space. I think my only concern is that there isn't much insight into where it comes from and how much "shared reality" there is. IMO "the top most blocked instances" is an easier sell for folks just getting started + reduces the overall size of your blocklist.

Very much into integrating with it as stuff progresses and stabilizes though.

Anyone got an API endpoint of the "most blocked instances" handy? I wanna add it to the initialization flow for the

Ideally it'd be nice to say "Here's the top 100 most hated instances so you can preemptively block them if you'd like". It's not perfect but I think this would make it easier for small publishers to get started.

I know it should be "because privacy first", and I do take it into account, but Google killing off services/products left and right for whatever reason is my main reason for not wanting to subscribe some of the stuff. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0

We've got a new implementation that'll be released in early September in !

Instead of fancy frontends and databases, we're focusing on enabling statically published sites to add AP support via a lightweight Social Inbox server that they can register using standard HTTP Signed Messages.

If you aren’t sure about what we add:

- an escrow system for commission deposits so both parties feel like they can trust each other more
- a shop/studio system where you can specify your offerings, with support for limited slots that are automatically managed as you accept commissions
- a discovery system where potential clients can find you
- automatic sales tax/VAT connection and remitting so you know you’re compliant
- for US artists, we even generate 1099s for you with your earnings!

There should be a rule that any media company that pulls that shit of canning completed work for the tax write-off has to make it public domain.

I mean, if they're saying for tax purposes it's worthless then they're not out anything by releasing it free and under Creative Commons, right? Right?? 🤨

@foone the frustrating thing is that everything should be able to work together but as I understand it everything has an API and needs a library to interact with it.

Watching lgr videos and hearing about how smart devices used to be whether or not they had a computer inside them you just sent them a certain number and they would do a thing.

now you need a library and authentication and then the library isn't maintained, so a change in one of the 8 million libraries it depends on breaks it...

Gonna ditch all my programming languages and go full SQL. Style my web pages with an SQL to CSS transpiler. Query my filesystem with SQL. `SELECT from videos/spongebob WHERE season = 2 | vlc`

Honestly, instead of an "API" or some sort of HTTP RPC thing or even a RESTful interface, I just want a database that I can query. Seriously, just let me load my data and be on my way. Everything else is friction and pain points.

Not a fan of how sites with search features (youtube, duckduckgo, ali express, etc) have taken to showing results that they think are a "best match" even if they don't contain all the search terms I'm looking for. What the hell is the point of giving me options if it doesn't plan to respect them? Every year data becomes more frustrating to access as stuff gets "machine learned".

You know people love to shit on Node.js and dependency hell in it, but dealing with package versions in it has been so much easier than other scripting languages like Python or Ruby. Even major updates in the version tend not to break all that much.

The reason for difference between two is in the WHATWG spec: url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-repre

There are "special schemes" (http(s), ftp, ws(s)) for which hostname gets actually parsed, but for the rest - everything after the "protocol" part will go into the pathname (including two “//" slashes). This is wild!

You likely don't have to worry about it, but in Electron apps this can easily result in a bug. Here's my fix for proxy-agent npm module github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-a

I wonder what percentage of programmers out there has never had to manually parse information from byte buffers by going one byte at a time.

Thinking of names for a new app that loads data from *anywhere*.

So far thinking as in "Semantic hog which eats all your data and rolls around in the mud and you give it belly pats to search through stuff".

Also sounds a bit like "send hog".

free software? aye comrade, and food should be free as well! and housing, and the hospital, and the library and post office too. ah, but why are these things not gratis? that is a dangerous question, isn’t it? why when there is more food than even all of us could eat, is there poverty all around us? do not limit your query to the business of software, comrade, for the villains of this play have a far greater span than your meager discipline.
