> You'll find a lot more in the ActivityPub specs, plus a lot of open implementations and helpful guides.

I've read that there's a problem with interacting with Mastodon if you only rely on the protocol specs, that they do things their own way and have different requirements than the official specs.

Is this still a problem? If it is, are Mastodon moving to be more closely aligned with the spec, or to doing more of their own thing?

I ported his code to a macOS screen saver back in the day, but I see I haven't updated it since macOS 10.6… I guess the chance of it working on a Apple Silicon Mac isn't anywhere near 100% :P

Just think of it as a very efficient firewall.

I did - a better browser than Internet Explorer. Granted, that was 20 years ago.

> I encounter colleagues conversing in Hindi, Russian, Hungarian, Polish, Greek etc. Any of those conversations is one I'm locked out of, and unable to contribute to.

This is really rude of them, and it's something management should work very hard to fix. Because as you say, in addition to being rude it's terribly inefficient for the company. If they employ people from all over the world, they should probably mandate English as the only allowed language in just about any situation.

If you have speakers of different languages in a conversation or group, it's just common sense to use a language everyone can understand and use.

Yes, it's easier for Danes to speak Danish when four out of five in the group understand it, but standing around there being the fifth person who can't understand a word of what's being said is not a nice experience.

The only downside is that you'll never get any new customers, and your product will wither and die.

> software engineers can't estimate how long something will take with any kind of accuracy.

Sure we can, it's always one of:

- A couple of minutes

- Today

- A week or two

- Probably around a month

- I have no idea, could be any of the above or more

> It’s only Windows and macOS that don’t

You can run macOS from a USB disk, although it won't be a readonly live disc like the Linux ones.

Can we stop call AIs giving incorrect information ”hallucinations”, please? It’s just a clever PR stunt to sweep the glaring issues under a carpet.

Another way IPv6 could make things better: no need to point multiple domains at the same IP address, so you could have a one-to-one relationship between domain and address and prevent shady things from hiding behind legit things.

Sweden. Switzerland?

There was a civilization in South America whose city/cities didn’t have defensive structures, don’t remember the name though.

Edit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav%C3%ADn_culture

Warfare does not seem to have been a significant element in Chavín culture. The archaeological evidence shows a lack of basic defensive structures in Chavín centres, and warriors are not depicted in art, in notable contrast to the earlier art at Cerro Sechín. Effective social control may have been exercised by religious pressure, and the ability to exclude dissidents from managed water resources. The climate and terrain of the neighbouring areas outside the managed land were a daunting option for farmers wishing to flee the culture. Evidence of warfare has been found only in contemporaneous sites that were not influenced by Chavín culture, almost as if those other civilizations were defending themselves via warfare from Chavín cultural influence.

Here's a first-hand account from one of the passengers on the Airbus, somewhat decently translated from Swedish:

Here in Sweden we have a law that forces shops to provide a "comparison price" on the price tag. Depending on the type of product, it's the price per volume, weight or unit. This makes it trivial to compare prices between products of different package sizes, and to notice shrinkflation.

Doesn't help detect changed ingredients that lower quality, though.

I thought this was a EU thing, but a quick search suggests that maybe it's something specific to us?

"careful analysis of DNA"

No need for careful analysis, just force the company to give you a list of registered users matching some criteria. Your kill list is just a SQL query away.

"makes no screwing possible that wasn’t already"

Sure, but it makes it easier and faster to select targets for your screwing.
