   It's amusing how there's a whole W3C working group creating a social spec and the actual fediverse simply runs on buggy implementations of incompletely documented protocols.

   • Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca
   @bobjonkman The latter. The former is allowing too much internet connectivity.

   PSA: if it's connected to the internet and an intelligence agency is interested in you then you can safely assume it's a bug.

   Protip: if you make TWKN your primary timeline you're going to see disagreeable posts.

   Custard now loads data from the server and shows it:

   There's still a lot of work to be done, but this means all three major application parts (view, database and network interaction) are at least working together on the most basic level.

   One crucial mistake that happens, I think, is to think of the GS parts of the fediverse as a microblogging service. It's not. It's a Twitter alternative. Blogging implies a one-to-many publishing but the reality is that the value of the fediverse is in the interaction between people. It's inevitable due to the nature of the fediverse that nodes won't have a full vie…

   Every time I look at GNU Social API's it strikes me how much info they give that I don't want and how bad they are at giving info that I want.
   
   It's like in the evolution of the API everyone has been working on extending it with cool features rather than making the core solid.
   
   Same effect can be seen with the various standardization attempts.

   Facebook wants people to flag fake news. Prepare for accurate news to be downvoted harder than a Hillary AMA on The_Donald.

   I have a new idea for a heat source to power the internet: mastogab.

    @archaeme Oh, and there are only noobs at Docker, including Docker devs. The rest ran away from it.

    https://git.postactiv.com/verius/custard now exists, offering a worse experience than Mustard-Mod (i.e. all images are black boxes)

    @maiyannah I don't see the downside of mastodon defederating.

    @gameragodzilla @maiyannah In the Bush era I read something of Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Still rings true today.

    Politicians should be fined every time they use the term "populism". It's such a lazy shorthand to avoid addressing why people vote for folks like Trump.

    • mjd
    @pennyfortheguy @mjd There's also systemic issues with the first past the post system that make it really hard for a third party candidate to get elected. Since in first past the post the candidate with the most votes wins if you like A best but don't want B to win it can be more strategic to vote for C if you think enough other people are going to vote for C. Transl…

    @andstatus @maiyannah @lnxw48 @thefaico Indeed. Though the twitter API is to some extent by necessity hackish.
    
    Looking at the atom protocol and the existing PumpIO class in AndStatus it may be interesting to look at the native atom protocol. I'll do some experimentation over the weekend. If nothing else it'll be a good refresher for my Java skills. :)
