@fell Not *wrong* just super obtuse when you see a huge and completely random string in the URL when linking to that message. Not great UX.

Oh no, neomutt switched to entirely randomly generated message-ids in the latest release. I'm not fond of this either. :(

@sab the easiest example is that if you decide to move instances, you can't move all your content -- it's tied to the instance where you posted it. Second of easy example is that the admin of your instance can post anything they want pretending to be you, without any way of easily identifying impostors.

I've got to say, that considering who is developing it (the person behind SSB, for one), I am interested to see how the AT protocol shapes up.

@dragnucs In my experience, given enough eyeballs, people will assume that someone else's eyeballs are going to do the looking. :)

Yes, there may be a few bugs there. Probably. Or there could be zero bugs. It's like looking for a black cat in a dark room -- you won't find it until you stumble over it.

@jmorris @corbet this is why we need web3 -- the enshittification is baked into web3 apps from the get-go.

@corbet that said, if you figure out a way to make electricity from snow, you'll corner the entire Canadian market.

Bugbot status update: it's now able to monitor lore lists and start tracking threads as bugs based on an arbitrary query. E.g. you can mention "bugbot engage" in a thread and the entire thread will be converted to a bugzilla bug (if the email of the person issuing this command matches a bugzilla account with "editbugs" group membership). Any subsequent messages in the thread will be automatically added to the bug as new comments. Any comments posted on the bug via bugzilla interface will be sent to original recipients.

Now working on the other direction -- bugs added in bugzilla will be converted to mailing list threads and sent to proper maintainers (based on certain conditions, e.g. a "bugbot" flag needs to be set to "on" and the cf_subsystem custom field needs to match the corresponding MAINTAINERS entry). Should be done tomorrow, at which point I'll be looking for early testers. :)

This is how wizard paintings in Harry Potter work. They emulate dead people based on statistical analysis of things they have previously said.

Of course, I can only imagine the kinds of terrible effects this could have on people in mourning, so I predict legislation restricting this practice.
