meta adj, half baked thought
Kinda wondering what a federated network with connections based on a web of trust + opt in would look like.
quite excited for the prospect though.
we'll write a jank wiki and everyone can just put their web links on it.

Does anyone know where I can find a spreadsheet or something similar where I can compare features of popular fedi micro-blogging software?
@robdaemon @troi I was spoiled by IBM’s 360 architecture, Amdahl did great work. Z80 was my first microprocessor, but I quickly found 6809. I loath what Intel’s done, big code museums. I’ve looked at ARM enough to want to do more. Compiling to Assembly is looking pretty good. The only issue I have is his choice of Typescript. I haven’t really done JS and the node.js tooling seems a bit much, but I don’t like Python’s tooling anymore either. Grumpy old man here :)
Built a cursed thing.
Used that to make something way more cursed.
Used that abomination to do something normal.
the system is rigged. people are forced to participate in a toxic culture of work.
maybe a quick project could be a lil common lisp newsletter program
maybe it will have a web interface. maybe.
Another debunked idea still pushed in mainstream #economics is that capitalism leads to democracy - some even go as far to say capitalism is a necessary condition of democracy.
This is just cold-war era propaganda that still occasionally shows up in econ classrooms to this day. If anything, unfettered free-market capitalism almost necessarily devolves into oligarchy, rather than bolstering democracy, as the biggest companies in the world are showcasing well as we speak.
