Dear Silicon Valley startups with "Growth" in your name. You sound like an unfortunate medical condition.

@graphite @pixl_xip @steffo if you're not "gen alpha," have you considered going by "gen technology preview"?

@graphite @steffo welcome to No Man's Land! Fell free to ask kids born in 1980 if they consider themselves Gen-X or Millenials. :)

@steffo 'cept I ain't gunna cap, I just ain't got the rizz for gen-aphas to follow me, bruh. It would be super Ohio if some of them lowkey stanned a cheugy old dude like me.

(Yes, picking up the slang is the unfortunate downside of volunteering with scouts.)

@steffo I guess with the oldest gen-aphas turning 13-14, finding them on the fediverse is no longer beyond the realm of plausible.

Everyone who didn't react with "huh? what?" is a parent of a gen-alpha kid.

Oh, another “systemd considered evil” round, based on a command that no normal user, even if root, would ever use. This was fixed right away and that could be the end of the story. But noooooo. It’s systemd. So the bashing MUST continue. Le sigh.

When did you last use ‘sudo systemd-tmpfiles --purge’?

@luis_in_brief @inthehands @graydon @regehr @pervognsen @durin42 @dsp It'll still be fragile, cumbersome and anti-newcomer, but in addition we will also lose all the abuse prevention layers of email, such as spam filtering, node IP reputation, etc. Plus, ActivityPub is great for one-to-many and one-to-one communication, but it's quite terrible at many-to-many interactions common on mailing lists. I mean, you have to run something like FediFetcher just to see all the replies on a thread that you didn't start.

@mo I believe the most effective method is significantly adjusting your GPS coordinates. Has other benefits as well.
