We already know how to do this is the point. A mailing list is federated. We could see these things coming, which is why there was a concern about gcc adopting a plugin api for example. I think we've gotten too used to corporate sponsored floss as the new normal and it's normalised a sort of consumer experience simulacrum of cooperation. We managed to create things like git without things like github.

@Maenad sounds like it

i think you're meant to go easy on the skin, it's super sensitive for now

@Maenad I'm trying to remember when my kid got their cast off if they were a bit wonky after, dunno, it must affect your circulation and stuff, seems plausible it could make you ill

@Maenad this makes sense to me but then i used to get upset if i had to take off the cashmere sweater i wore continually for like a year (without ever washing it)
you made an adjustment to your situation and now everything's changed again, i think it's natural to be a little thrown by that

@basus @mayel @alanz @cykros @Framasoft @ebel the linux kernel manages fine with a mailing list

@basus @ebel @Framasoft @cykros @alanz @mayel libre versions of these things exist

@ebel @Framasoft @cykros @alanz @mayel

We did all of this stuff for long enough before the silos came along, we used just mailing lists and usenet.

One of the reasons RMS doesn't like APIs as I recall is that they allow non-free software to interact with free software, where the preferred alternative is that anything leveraging your code basically has to be a derivative work.

@eden love, hugs, scritches [delete as required]

Someday to you

Please wait

Wait, don't lose faith

But I know it's gonna happen
Someday to you

@eden that's wonderful; that's the focus we need to keep, when the shit gets us down

@eden i know, we just have to keep our eyes on the better future for all who come after; i wouldn't have dreamed of transitioning at your age, it was hard enough growing up queer in a country where homosexuality was still illegal

@eden passing through London over Christmas with my daughter, getting off the tube she said to me, "I forget people can be so horrid"; and I'm like huh? Oblivious as usual to my surroundings, and she's like, didn't you see those old people being really mean to the trans lady sitting beside you? And me hadn't noticed the girl sat beside me at all, why, what did they do? "They were making faces and whispering and you could tell she was really uncomfortable." My daughter may have unusual parents but it still felt like a really generational thing. We may still be at the thin end of the change, but it's there.

@enkiv2 with this one the heat death of the universe might be a price worth paying

I love our disparate timezones and the way there's always someone to say good morning to, it's like an all day breakfast

@enkiv2 loved Hawking saying philosophy was pointless bc we have science, blissfully unaware this was a philosophical claim thus one he was hopelessly unqualified to assess

@Concerned_Commy i have a button like that, it's wired to my menchies
