    #CW politics, sexual abuse

    Assange
     - has admitted to essentially rape
     - did some good with Wikileaks
     - hasn't done good in a fucking long time
     - skipped out on his house arrest in the UK (which is a crime)
     - should not be extradited to the US (which are well known to hold barbaric and politically motivated trials and punishments)
     - especially not for anything WIkileaks-related
     - probably shouldn't have lost asylum rights (it's a super dangerous precedent)
     - was not being "illegally detained" in the embassy - he could've walked out at any time to face the music
     - was, by all accounts, a fucking nuisance and embarassment to have in the embassy

    Chat protocols are Fun Things to Hack Together, and have some thorny issues that are interesting problems in their own right. However, if your goal is to be The New Thing, don't. You will run into all the same issues that other protocols (notably XMPP) have already had to tackle several times with the current status being An Acceptable Tradeoff. If we want a global communication standard, we should focus on XMPP, as the most general, well-defined and decentralised alternative available, with many different implementation both of servers and clients, not to mention a broad range of small, medium, and large servers.

    OK, so

    Is "EFF considered harmful" a step too far?

    @spudboy Mostly their inability to commit to any sort of standard, making alternative implementations more or less impossible.

    Also droves and droves of NIH.

    @rubah All of them, probably. Discord and Slack are proprietary and centralized solutions, so I wouldn't generally recommend them for use unless there are features you need.

    This particular post was mostly prompted by Matrix complaints, though, and other folks talking about creating a new federated chat protocol because Matrix is so shit.

    PSA: there's a federated, well-known and well-implemented federated chat protocol out there with many working server and client implementations. It's called XMPP. 

    Use it or be prepared to remake the same billion mistakes that has already been made.

    I think copyright reform would be a whole lot more attractive to a lot of people (creators in particular) with a more reasonable and socialist society, where you don't need to worry about your family being taken care of in case of an emergency, and there never being a large enough pile of money to feel secure (short of several million dollars).

    DEMONETIZE ALL THE THINGS! 

    Work for free, play around usefully, give gifts to friends, ask for help when you need it, run infrastructure because it's cool, participate in organisations because they do good stuff.

    Do not use Slack. 

    In fact, do not use proprietary solutions.

    I realised both me and my girlfriend use a distinctly Nordic swearword ("Gudars skymning!", lit. "Gods' twilight!") quite obviously hailing back to pre-christian times, and referring to Ragnarök.

    Does the !fediverse have any other examples of such pre-christian/pre-islamic/pre-buddhistic expressions that are actually regularly used by you or others around you?

    On the topic of musicology - for you knowledgable people out there: Has there been any investigation into how the mechanization of music (player pianos, recording) factored into the development of jazz, and specifically its focus on improvisation?

    What I'm getting at is the increased focus on the individual performance as a distinct thing from every other performance of the same work, making it a better proposition to get people to live performances.

    @elizafox George R. R. Martin, a writer of some repute, is writing a series of fantastic fiction. His latest installment is late in coming, vexing his readers to no end. Some of said readers have misunderstood the relationship between reader and author, and seem to have some slight notion of entitlement to the work in question. Their number is, to me, rather unexpectedly high, especially as witnessed on the internet.

    So The Intercept apparently _sucks balls_ at source protection.

    "When the envelope first arrived at the Intercept, there was considerable doubt that the document within it was real. The reporters decided, per standard journalistic practice, to contact someone who could verify its authenticity. What is less standard — what Thomas Drake calls “abhorrent” and Tim Shorrock calls “just shameful” and investigative journalist Barton Gellman called “egregious” — is for a reporter to provide a copy of the document itself, which could help reveal precisely who had provided it. On May 30, according to court filings, an unnamed reporter sent pictures of the document to a contractor for the U.S. government and told the contractor that they’d been postmarked in Augusta."
