Maybe some day after we're done replacing X11 people will collectively find the will to do something about systemd before it gets too much worse. I wonder which will be easier: Throw it all out and start again, or split it up into parts of more manageable size with well-defined interfaces between them.

As I’ve only just recently written here, blog comments are not social media, and I think such things should remain separate.
So it's definitely not social media but it is the social web? I don't see any comments section at all over there. Some of these "indieweb" guys are pretty weird.
"more sympathetic" to conservative values than Europe
Oh look, it's another foreign land that hasn't yet developed any immunity to the infectious diseases coming out of Europe.
Okay, who's giving odds on this one coming anywhere close to living up to its billing?
Self-censorship working a little too well.

I was wrong, it's 1024 not 256. It's a soft limit, so easy to adjust once you're aware that you need to.
Where is it? It's in the 1970s. Tempted by Lucifer to get brighter and brighter, we collectively chose to leave it behind.
I would certainly advise everyone to choose a phone with that in mind.
The desktop client is not great, but it works. There certainly are things Signal could do better. Its phone-centric nature is ridiculous and I have no idea why they cling to it. But it's easier than trying to get everyone to use Matrix or whatever — mainly because more people have heard of it.
Be paranoid in your estimation of how much privacy you have, but diligent in your efforts to get more of it for everyone.
Yeah, Signal is good enough. If people use shitty operating systems like iOS or Google's version of Android that's another problem and not really one that it's my job to care about that much. What matters is the network effect and every user who moves moves from Whatsapp to Signal is one more person who gains the freedom to easily improve their digital lives further if they someday choose to do so without it costing them the ability to chat with all their friends.
It's still operating for now, right? Because if I look at random government pages in a browser that profile that doesn't block the social media widgets I can see links to facebook, twitter, instagram, whatsapp, youtube, and threema. There seems to be no mention anywhere that a mastodon server exists.
They're complaining about the low number of users. Did they bother to tell people that it exists?
