Can you link the bug report please?

Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France (“Le Web3”) for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don’t like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole “Web3”)

I think you’ve retconned a little bit here. LeWeb3 was named as a sequel to the previous conference which was called LeBlogs2. Remember, at that time Web 2.0 hadn’t really taken off yet - browsers had only just implemented the XMLHTTPRequest API - so it wouldn’t have made sense to already be talking about Web 3.0.

Here is an original document containing some history of LeWeb3: https://web.archive.org/web/20070704054929/http://www.loiclemeur.com/LeWeb3executivesummaryv1.pdf

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

It appears to have all of the downsides of a centralized payment processor (like PayPal, Visa, etc.) and also all of the downsides of a crypto-currency. I would avoid this clusterfuck like the plague.

Taler does not require any Blockchain technology, and is also not based on proof-of-work or any other distributed consensus mechanism.

Your wallet stores digital cash and thus ultimately your computer holds your balance. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account.

Since Taler’s digital cash in your wallet is anonymized, the exchange cannot assist you in recovering a lost or stolen wallet. Just like with a physical wallet for cash, you are responsible for keeping it safe.

In case of a compromise of one of your devices, an attacker can spend digital cash from your wallet.

Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.

Look, I know a lot of people could be using the sharing feature to share material that is in the public domain or that they own the copyright to, but let’s be honest: most of that sharing would be considered an “unlicensed public performance” by the MAFIAA.

Who is “we”?

Does Unraid still use JBOD with a single parity disk or have they moved to a sane drive layout?

Please tell me you’re not vibe coding this project.

Looks like he’s waiting to order in Burger King.

Most distros build for ARM now. Disregard, I just realized we’re talking about Macs. 🤦

And almost invariably they act like I am asking them to give me their firstborn.

You can’t infer that they are being possessive, when an equally possible explanation for that reaction is that they are offended on behalf of their community members, who would not want a unilateral consolidation of their community into another community that they feel no connection to.

Just because you mod a community doesn’t mean you get to make the decision about where people gather for that community. When instances have different moderation rules and different vibes, you must have a consenting userbase in order to make decisions like that.

a community I have.

Try not to think of it that way. The community is the people who subscribe, post and comment. You don’t own them, you just take out the trash. If they are happy to move then good, if not then don’t force it. And you can always just make a second community on the other instance and hand over the old instance to the people who want to stay there.

Mastodon for personal use: not so much as replies don’t federate with main tweet.

Didn’t this get fixed very recently? I think it can fetch all replies at the time of loading the thread now.

If we want more people to migrate here from Reddit

They say “necessity is the mother of invention,” and damn, this guy needs a service that will delete his tweets.
