why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun

A man walks into his local library.

Man to the librarian: "Do you have a book about Pavlov's Dogs and Schrodinger's Cat?

Librarian: "Ah now that rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it is there or not"

Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, “Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question.

#Tusky 20 is now on F-Droid!

@jon @Vivaldi Started at work. At least colleages in my office room and half the people on my floor use it. Feature ranking:
a) allow pop-ups to be opened as a tab (crm system opens popup windows for every click you do)
b) stacks with duo-lines
c) tab tiling
d) vertical tabs
e) tab scrolling

one of my colleages got angry last week "when it is so easy to build a browser like that, why do all the others not have all these features"

thanks a lot for all this! and for making it look so easy

Everything gets pentested. If you're lucky, the people who do so will tell you about it

I have to run more cabling around my house so server fun is on the backburner for now.
So... I decided to play around with #haikuos on a VM.
Holy shit has it advanced. I could even see myself using it as a bare-metal desktop OS!
The last time I used it was during the release of beta1, and it was OK although audio didn't work at all so I blasted it. But even just trying beta3 (a year old already!) the difference is astounding.
I can't wait for beta4 (which is supposed to come in like... a day or so) to see even more progress.

@jonn it is in fact precisely because its an apache killer. Loic even uses that phrasing describing his early involvement here: https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-story-so-far/

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

You and I and everyone here are part of the first 10 million people on the fediverse.

We are setting the cultural and technical norms for the next few decades.

So if there's something you wish Mastodon did, or ActivityPub did, just start acting like it already exists.

If enough people want it or need it, it will get added by the software and protocols later.
