imho the word misinformation is wrong already.

> Information is not knowledge itself, but the meaning that may be derived from a representation through interpretation.

what is misinformation supposed to be then? white noise?

tinfoil territory: i think the "misinformation" meme was created just to have the ability to shut down any topic as required. e.g.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-shadiness-hunter-biden-laptop-didnt-deserve-pass-rcna51280

"misinformation" is a bullshit label to cut off discourse.

@Hyolobrika @straw you let people live rent free in your head. "getting back" can also mean "be as shitty".

@Hyolobrika @straw the mute button is a glorious invention :)

@Hyolobrika @dave procreation as filthy kink, i'm sold!

@astrojuanlu i don't even want to argue with you 🤷‍♀️

i just don't see why having a radically different UX from mainstream is a bad thing. i think it's a good thing that free software isn't constrained by what is "trend". i think those radically different approaches are an unique selling point.

things like sourcehut which are not "fancy" also enable people to to use it which might have problems using github etc.

i'd venture that composing mails is likely more easy than navigating the github ui if you are handicapped.

the gamification by github has always deterred me (and i know from others) from publishing my things there, as they never will get many stars. the commit graph facilitates a style of work which very likely is bad for mental health.

it's no surprise that many long running projects are often just a repository somewhere and a mailing-list. it's a surprisingly efficient style of work while keeping people sane as there is no virtual pressure like a commit graph.

> It saddens me to see that the state of the conversation is still so poor.

because people disagree here and instead are happy with sourcehut not being yet another github clone?

it's not that i don't want nice usable software, it's that my idea of nice & usable is different. implement aria stuff to help accessibility? fuck yeah. add meta tags to have other tools process my stuff? of course. add shitloads of JS so that a page can't be used in a browser like netsurf or with js disabled? fuck off. maybe "the browser" just has outlived it's days as application platform.
this "make it ez" line of thought has brought us shit like systemd and consolekit and i hate it. things can be usable without being technological dumpster fires. you wrote yourself that we shouldn't imitate things in "floss". imitating shit to make it more sexy for more adoption is the opposite.

> even autonomous social centers ignore the #fediverse

of course they do, their members are probably in to virtue signal like 99% of people are everywhere. a fringe social media network doesn't help with that, so it's ignored.

@meeper i later on got to build a small cpu from parts which was pretty fun. i think those things are quite valueable, if only to show you how little parts are actually _required_.

@lnxw37b2 @dave europe here, don't you have passenger seat airbag switches for that?

@dave maybe biggest child on front seat, parent on middle seat in the back. isn't comfy though ;)

good night everyone!
