i just realized that housecats are predators of the modern dinosaur and i don't know what to do with that information

@luka @gaditb @mattskala @shel i would be careful about conflating any of:
- OStatus, ActivityPub, etc., which are federation protocols
- GNU Social, Mastodon, etc., which are softwares
- Any of the various communities *on* GNU Social, Mastodon, etc.

these all have different points of origin and histories and it's important to be clear about which one you're talking about when you discuss them

holy shit this is the actual real-life FBI Cyber Crime website what https://glitch.social/media/fifAE9pa-DrTu35vmcA

wait hold the fuck up

if a domain expires
someone else buys it
and then implements a robots.txt

…

does that remove the entire original archive of that site from the Internet Archive?????

you can chart the history of Apple losing the rainbow and draining of colour and slowly becoming more sleek and modern with its loss of relevance as a cultural icon and enduring strength as a brand. Apple design doesn't MATTER anymore because we all know there will be a new version in a year anyway. it's all temporary.

(and they take advantage of that imo to pull shit that previously wouldn't fly, because we're all trained to view any flaws as temporary and to-be-fixed in next year's release)
