It's always disappointing when someone you've followed for ages on Youtube turns out to be an expert in their field, but ends up being a full on moron in everything else.

Mastodon fanbois seem pretty insecure...

I hope not because that'd be... silly? kinda dumb too. I'm fine with the appview doing aggregation and sort of collecting statistics, but the one-source-of-truth should remain the PDS. If that gets in the way of read-after-write functionality, maybe client apps should be cleverer(tm) about it...

You kind of gloss over the point that a dedicated server that is overspecced for the minimum will run maybe 50 bucks a month. Ergo, cheap. If you're worried about 50 bucks, maybe not dabble in crypto ;)

Also if you've got fiber at home you can just run it off a RPi... even cheaper.

Been working on this for a while already! Competition?! :D

You're my best friend now! Awesome :D

If app A publishes it's lexicon, interoperability is "easy" as long as you adhere to their lexicon. And vice versa. I think the only thing "missing" in ATproto is a standard method of exposing said lexicons without having to download them out of a git repo somewhere and including them.

:D that's actually a really nice bit of music, thanks!

:facepalm:

Hum. So the things I thought I had I don't have. But I found other things I didn't knew I had, so that's good. I'm talking about boat parts by the way :P #boatlife

I need to do some cleanup in my following list, I really am sick and tired of politics because fuck this timeline very much, and I really just want to see my tech nerds nerding and maybe some cat photos. And maybe a lewd every now and then because why not?

I guess another side benefit is that if the rules of chess ever change it's an easy update :P

Then you're going to need an UI on the PDS - and if you're going that far, you might as well throw an admin UI on there too *wink wink nudge nudge*

Personally I'm of the opinion that the appview should do both; it should a) inform the frontend what is and isn't possible, and b) always validate a move because sooner or later someone's going to try to make it do illegal moves ;)

And since someone will ask, I was dropping my car off at the boatyard I will be taking my boat to next week. Since the boatyard is in the ass end of the armpit of nowhere. With the boat it's a 450km trip, 5 days, good times!

Oh and moving on from the train hilarity, anyone deciding to visit the Camargue region of France better get it done in the next few days, the mosquitos are out and about and getting worse. I think I'm missing half a pint of claret and that's from 4 hours there.

Onoes! Whatever will you do?! Will you ever recover from this?! :D

... would cause delays, but no, sell me that particular itinerary anyway instead of maybe possibly potentially maybe suggesting I take an earlier train so I get to my TGV with time to spare. Wasn't an option, even, to do it or I would have because I hate 5 minute transfer windows in strange stations

... granted, the station staff was super helpful and got me home, but the 3.5-ish hour trip now took the better part of 6 because of course the only option is the regional train that stops in every bumfuck little town. Turns out afterwards my delay was due to construction works they knew...

So. Sorry French folk, but #SNCF can absolutely fucking suck it. I book myself a trip. Great! Tickets in order, all fine. Train even leaves on time. Except then it arrives 10 minutes late, meaning I miss the connection (that left 5 minutes earlier) to the TGV I was supposed to be taking...

To get one's PDS banned from the bluesky relay means they've done something absolutely awful (CSAM comes to mind) at which point I'll cackle with glee and move on because they deserved it :D

An appview and a client that talks to that appview if you want to have a 100% separated experience I guess?

The relay isn't that expensive. An appview that can handle all of Bluesky (to maybe fork it if need be), that is expensive.

Door games. All the door games. TW 2002, BRE, etc.

That's a salty individual - what on earth does your software do (or not do) that has angered him so?! :D

Reading?! READING?! How dare you... :P

Join the club - either I end up with a 1 paragraph totally random summary, or it's an epic novel...

Welcome to social media :/

I mean, it's not entirely obvious from the documentation that exists that an appview exists - it's mentioned, but it's not clear *what* exactly it is that the appview does. Also the name appview does sort of invite confusion because it could just as well be the UI. It isn't, but sounds like it ;)
