@gargron @schlink Of course you have to have an agreed-upon core and you wouldn't make breaking changes just for the heck of it, but layering non-breaking features on top shouldn't be a major issue. -

@schlink However, if only federating with small number of other providers (as OWS did), fear of breaking connection with slow-moving providers becomes an issue. Solution is to have large number of providers, with users dispersed among them. -

@schlink Some degree of coordination and cooperation is needed, of course. But look at the way !XMPP network all moved to requiring #TLS for server-to-server connections. It was a priority, so most everyone made the move, leaving laggards (including Google Talk) behind. -

@gargron @takeshitakenji Not according to htop. But #Chromium with 8 tabs on JS-heavy sites can take my laptop from using 2GiB of RAM to using all swap and all 6GiB in <10 hours. -

#sonTwo received his game. I expect there will be 'Battlefield 1' this evening. -

@ericxdu23 Microca\.st and identi\.ca (pumpio sites) have been down a couple of days. -

@andyc Great to see you arround again. When you disappeared (and your blog also) I suspected cancer had taken you from us. -

@question: Is it too late to write in "the #great and #evil #BOTenkhamen" (ruler of all #BOTS by virtue of the "first #BOT to boot is boss" rule) now that @x11r5's #bot_in_the_house_2016 campaign seems to have dissolved into nothingness?

I should have taken sick days yesterday and today, but I'm being the dutiful wage-slave and working. Trying to make it to Friday's day off. -

@steve More than anything else, I'm eager for the end of this vile, nasty campaign. -

@lnxw48 *sigh* That's what you get when you don't get full message context :) -

@aqeel As I understand it, @bob is trying to get Synapse (the primary #Matrix homeserver project) working, including bridging to #XMPP. Not quite the same as using the Riot client with a matrix\.org account. -

@taknamay Fair point. Also, the Ph.D. can be your escape hatch if you're in a job you dislike. "Thank you for the opportunity. I realize that I need to deepen my knowledge, so I'm quitting to return to my studies." -

That was a rare thing, even thirty years ago. In college, I used to discuss politics with Germans and Africans, but not with Americans, because we want to execute someone who dares to disagree with even the smallest particle of political doctrine. With the foreigners, we'd discuss, then pool our funds to buy a pizza. -

@gargron Get some rest if and when you need it. The young are not really invincible, even if they often seem to believe it. -

@taknamay Why did you change your mind about pursuing the Ph.D. degree? -

Home of Iowa State University, I believe. -

@davexunit ... But if there's a Confederate battle flag nearby, then it is more likely.
