@andstatus @thefaico One important feature I'm going to build into the API is flexibility in what you request and how. I want it to be easy for clients to get JUST the data they need, as this will alleviate server load greatly (a single API request for a timeline right now can run over a hundred queries in some circumstances!) and also make things much easier for the client. An important component of this in my opinion is making it so we can easily identify specific resources.
Users, notices, and avatars are on the list of things I want to make uniquely-identified. Are there other things you can think of which would benefit from this? -

@gameragodzilla You'll notice that none of these people have actually lived under communism. -

@xj9 Freedom means accepting that others will also exercise their freedom, and thats exactly where those brand of authoritarian liberals lose their shit. -

Problem number 1 through .. probably like 982390832.ZZZ with developing federating software is many programmers will want everyone else to follow their chosen conventions, rather than following a convention themselves. -

If you truly care about people, then perhaps spend some time to improve their lives instead of merely using them as pawns in your game of social credit and manipulation.
If you truly care about people, you can start by treating them as human beings. -

@lnxw48 @clacke @steve @alpacaherder It was still in the redemption period, so the original registrar had precedence. Great news to hear they got it renewed. -

@clacke @lnxw48 @steve @alpacaherder The domain name expired and immediately got scooped up by a squatter. -

@moonman @mikael I run /scrips/upgrade.php and the one to clean up the file table nightly prior to my backup process -

@mikael @moonman Upgrade.php cleans it. I'm not sure if anything in normal operation does however. I know that the TwitterBridge plugin fucks servers up by filling the queue_item table up until the server explodes, though -

"While synthetics make up just a fraction of the market, they have growing appeal to younger buyers -- a headache for mine owners, who are under pressure to cut supply and lower prices, because traders, cutters and polishers are struggling to profit amid a credit squeeze and languishing jewelry sales... "Martin Roscheisen, chief executive of Diamond Foundry Inc., a San Francisco synthetic-diamond producer with a capacity of 24,000 carats, says he believes nearly all diamonds consumers purchase will be man-made in a few decades," reports the Journal. "To counter the threat, last year De Beers helped launch a trade association with other producers to market the attraction of natural diamonds."
So in other words, they can't compete with price or quality, so they hope to ascribe some sort of moral value to diamonds mined out of conflict zones by workers who make considerably less on average than a living wage?
Yeah, good luck with that. -

@moonman If you have specific ideas about how the API can be improved, PLEASE comment them in https://git.gnu.io/maiyannah/postActiv/issues/54 so they can be addressed when I redo the API, which will be my next major project after we've finished the postgres stuff and I've done the render code. That might be a bit off and I don't want any of these ideas for improvement to get lost in the intervening time! :) -

It is so fucking annoying to get meaningful error messages out of GNU social, between the way it hides most things, is riddled with deprecated code, and the existing HTMLoutputter has basically no resilience in failure states. -

@clacke Perhaps you should actually start looking outside your own circle then. -

"After Microsoft ended its year-long "free" Windows 10 offer, new installations have slowed predictably. But in an unexpected turn, October saw more new installs of both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 than of Windows 10."
This was only surprising to people whose brains and arses were reversed. -

@clacke No, they are not, but the conflation of death threats with the people whom questioned his methods are disingenuous. Not every person whom questioned him sent him that mail, but the video the article I'm quoting and commenting on makes a pretty clear implication that if you questioned him you must have been one of "those" people. -

"At 23 minutes, scientist Michael E. Mann, famous for co-discovering the "hockey stick graph" via eigenvector based climate field reconstruction (CFR), recounts how media like the Wall Street Journal demonized him for his research, how he received death threats from unknown sources, how Congress grilled him about whether his scientific methods are credible, and how he even received an envelope in the mail with strange white powder in it."
If being held to the highest scrutiny about a claim isn't to your liking, perhaps you meant to get into religion, rather than science. -

@lnxw48 @gargron @normandy But really, they got bought out because they were direct competition to Patreon and they had the money to basically buy themselves and effective monopoly, so why wouldn't they?
