Last Notes npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron My first vacation related purchase... a couple of doorstops, so Her Daftness (Pictured) doesn't get herself stuck in a room, in between being checked in on, while I'm away. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron I'm frequently annoyed that #Discworld isn't as popular as it should be. It satisfies so many tastes. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1g53…v0hh ohhh i vaguely remember getting a demo of Hoi and being terrible at it 😅 npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron Time for a #miniaturepainting science tip. The little bead of water that forms on the ferrule, after rinsing off your brush, is called the "Arghgerrofyalittledrippybastard" npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron Be aware of dangers in the workplace, such as cats who find themselves 10 minutes past their regularly scheduled feeding time. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron I have not done any miniature painting to speak of for about 16 months, and for some reason, I decided that starting again with the smallest mini I had was a good idea... but I'm quite happy with how he turned out. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron #Caturday cat has called you into their office to explain why they can see the bottom of their food bowl npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 There isn't really a hook with mass appeal. I'm guessing most reasons that drew the current user base to the Fediverse are only relevant to a particular Internet subculture, as existed in smaller numbers back in the late 90s and early 2000s. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1p5q…q5r0 @npub1qg4…augv hey, if an omnipotent sky entity wants to show up and fix capitalism I'd vote for them. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub12ty…vnqc Does this mean we can expect to see a paws in development? npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron This Caturday I present some feline friends from many years ago, before the Internet became as well established as a cat repository (And before digital cameras were any good). npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 the Fediverse is exactly what the Internet needs. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 at first I did think that inspiration could be taken from the IRC network architecture, but after spending a bit of time here looking at some of the "discussions" between instance admins I've come to the conclusion that it would only work for individual server scalability rather than at a larger scale on the fediverse, so you end up circling back around to centralization. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub12ty…vnqc while I do like Mastodon and what it has done for social media, sharedInbox is defined by the ActivityPub spec, and Webfinger was created by the IETF npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron "Human, I glimpsed the bottom of my bowl, I feel the darkness closing in." npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub12ty…vnqc out of interest, what's the most resource intensive job type that is likely to backlog other jobs? Mostly curious whether it's processing or I/O. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub12ty…vnqc @npub120z…33r2 @npub18qs…0s8s A minor point, but rel=me was the creation of the people behind the XML Friends Network (XFN) specification :) npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron One of the great things about #Discworld is the depth and subtlety of the writing. It touches on many problems in society, but it doesn't hit you over the head with them and say "do better!". #TerryPratchett masterfully weaved them into an enjoyable story, with relatable characters, and by the end of a book all but the most resistant to change will be thinking, at least a little more, like a better person. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. If you want a flexible device that can do more, then you need to accept things like inconsistencies and UIs that aren't as "designed." npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 I've always felt that Google products are over-engineered compared to others, which leaks into the UI. That said, the Samsung UI is quite polished these days, and about as clean as you can get while maintaining the flexibility afforded by the OS npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 e.g. if illegal material somehow makes its way onto the server, either by it being directly added, or being cached from another instance, and the legal responsibilities that can result of becoming aware of it. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1cmg…rzd2 I used to run a custom chat server back in the day, when people had heard the word "Telnet" 😅. I could probably afford to run a small Mastodon instance, but the potential legal liability that comes with things like that these days just makes it too much for me. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1qg4…augv The sad part is that to some people the attention they get from MegaCorp, and saying they are "in discussion" with MegaCorp, is enough for them. Hell, I think I'd prefer it if money was involved, at least that wouldn't be quite so embarrassing. npub1rf63wtzlp442fs2l07kakhrl967t2wv5ehksnx5harclr9rm3sfs2neezk Cameron @npub1094…2wum My cat's introduction post got more attention than mine, maybe I should pin that one instead 😅
