wait, that looks familiar...
in the background of the thumbnail for this talk is the album cover for [ninajirachi's i love my computer](https://ninajirachi.bandcamp.com/album/i-love-my-computer )!! whose tracks "all i am" and "it's you" i listen to on loop for multiple hours at a time
with that plus christine's endorsement there's no way i'm not watching it

you've heard of progressive web apps and offline-first development
so let's do queer first development. trans, pan, non-binary by default
want to play a straight cis dude and romance the straight cis princess, sure that's *allowed* just download the dlc to unlock that niche feature
oh you need "Male" and "Female" for some dumb-ass reason in a dropdown box? just contact our sales team for a *free quote* to upgrade to enterprise tier

on the subject of computer services that are or aren't operated by bootlickers<li><a href="https://porkbun.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://porkbun.com</a> is a domain registrar</li><li>it is owned by TopLevelDesign based in Oregon</li><li>they also own the .wiki, .ink, and .gay top-level domains</li><li>they donate 20% of revenue from .gay registrations to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups</li>
perhaps insufficient evidence here. but porkbun fares better than a few other companies in recent memory
also worth exploring:

everything about this idea appeals to me too except the thought of trying to work next to a full height rack full of rackmount computer fans. even my own rather quiet desktop is an annoyance. the noise wouldn't bother you?

anybody got a paragraph or three about what made cohost great, that you didn't experience with, say, fedi, aimed at those of us who never got into cohost?
was it a preference for the particulars of the ui, the length of posts? was it network effect, the people that happened to be on there? moderation policies? problems that fedi (or certain popular clients) have that cohost didn't?
i don't ask to bait argument. just daydreaming about what future social networks should look like
