It’s on the web like Facebook is on the web. I can’t post or reply by creating a web page, and identity is not email or dns, but specific to whatever mastadon instance I register with. I already have a domain, blog, and email. Posts, replie

Am I the only one that hates that the “fediverse” is not on the web? We didn’t need a separate protocol/app and closed servers to do what are actually just blog posts and replies.

Tim should put his money where his mouth is! He posts on Twitter instead of his own blog. Saving the web is pretty simple: post to your own blog and stop using closed silos like Facebook and Twitter. Support IndieWeb tech instead of calling

Again. Hyperbole. We’re adults here. Who are you trying to convince with that crap? No, Facebook is a website. They aren’t involved in genocide. They aren’t why Trump is president.

Hyperbole. Facebook is a free website... A website . Burying competitors is a good thing. That’s the whole point. That’s literally the objective of every business in the entire economy.

It’s terrifying that people want to use the government to regulate a free website that nobody even has to use and which has not actually caused anyone harm. GDPR tyrants: get a life and stop using Facebook. Seriously.

It doesn’t matter how many words people write and how many times they say “disruption” Uber is still just a taxi company.

We have them. HTML/HTTP work great, but the DOM and JS APIs are out of control, and their surface area has no end in sight. The web actually works great without JS, and doesn’t require gigs of memory to browse. Every month there’s some

If engineers fear being on call it means the software isn't properly engineered and development processes have failed. Because if a service is properly engineered to maintain availability, being on-call is a small burden because downti

Serverless was never a thing. There are servers, whatever you want to call the them. Observing coworkers spend weeks setting up serverless stacks, for not needing a server they sure spent a lot of time configuring their tools... But obvious

Paywalls aren’t enshrined by any law. You’re misinformed. the web is public, despite SV’s best attempts to subvert and exploit that. If you don’t want someone accessing information don’t publish it as a website that anyone can access.

None of that is debt. You didn’t pay anything for the Vietnam war, and I’m not sure what you’re trying to say about urbanization and driving, but it has nothing to do with debt.

> who now have to live with, and pay, their debt. No you don’t. You don’t have to pay your parents debts. Not sure what “debt” you are referring to?

Do you support microformats? I much prefer static content to ActivityPub, and honestly a lot of AP sites are less accessible than ones with RSS or micro formats. The indie web approach to blogging (h-feed, webmentions, etc.) seems so much b

Blockchain ≠ decentralization ≠ peer-to-peer ≠ cryptocurrency This isn’t an article about decentralized social media, it’s a list of apps where publishers are paid in crypto currency.

Spend more time outside and less time inside reading about rich people. It’s that simple. I’d recommend minimum 3 hours outside no screen every day.

I would say financial freedom is not having to trade labor to survive. From that perspective, responsible spending doesn't lead to financial freedom, but ownership of capital that pays for living expenses. For example, someone who pays

Sounds like Tim Berners-Lee needs to take a break from Twitter and Facebook.

Funny that people see success as “replacing twitter” but even with a few users it’s more profitable than Twitter! :D

Host with AWS. They are 50% powered by renewables and have a long-term goal of 100%. They’ve also helped build solar and wind farms generating 250+ gigawatts of renewable energy.

Money has been spreading misinformation long before troll farms. Fox News doesn’t care about fact checking. We had birther conspiracies, Obama is a Muslim sympathizer, immigrants are coming to kill you, and other crazy narratives peddled by

It’s a little odd to me that people are so focused on supposed Internet comment manipulation when we’ve had one of the largest media empires pushing hate 24/7 through mainstream channels like Fox News for at least a decade.

At first glance, hooks are hard to reason about. They encourage changing pure functions into stateful functions that return different results depending on when they were called. Immediately after seeing the first example, I'm left wond

How so? Ballots are cast in public, collected in public, and counted in public (not the case with mail-in or electronic voting). Anyone can participate and request any poll worker be removed. Of course voter intimidation is a threat, but th

It's a great option but has the same problem (to smaller degree) as electronic voting machines, that the process is not entirely observable by the public.

What can I do to prevent my district from using electronic voting machines? With paper ballots, I know that there's no way my selection was changed before it was given to the poll worker (who is subject to public observation). With vot

It'd be great if we held politicians and the news media to the same standard.

Note that caffeine does not increase cortisol, it reduces the time your body takes to clear/lower cortisol.

Cortisol levels vary all the time... a blood test would only measure cortisol at one point in time.
