The decision in #activitypub that URL's themselves are the universally unique id's for all objects is extremely difficult to marry to a db system in an implementation without that implementation ending up feeling weird and messy. Like, do I just store the information that I need to know to check against _my_ urls and have separate tables for external statuses? or do I store a lot of redundant internal data so that I can have homogeneous table reads.

Wonder how the fediverse would react if Twitter federated itself 🤔 my guess is that it would be almost completely muted because of how much it would flood any servers it was federated with.

Flirting with mutuals sounds like an amazing idea, up until the point where I realize I am scared to death of saying something too forward or giving a bad impression so I just Dont.

@scarly part of me wants to say that the federated part isnt the part where clients interact with the servers, its where the servers interact with eachother.But the other part of me wants to point out that mastodon could absolutely be implementing a form of the activity pub client/server API standard rather than using its own proprietary one for whatever reason it was decided. The fact that AP is,, fun to implement,, only makes this problem worse.

@grainloom I was too busy looking at the awful notation that is `x and y or z` for ternary which I have never seen in the wild using python in my life and I hope to never see againjesus that is unintuitive and totally doesnt make me assume its logical and and or

@grainloom kinda a trick question, ternary doesnt seem to exist in haskell, according to a quick google, though rust's implementation seems sane.a part of me says that ternary is a generally unnecessary piece of syntactic sugar however, and a bad implementation like what im looking at there is worse than none at all.

@grainloom I take that back I found the ternary in haskell, its about what I expect a ternary operator should look like.

BTW to anyone in my following who doesnt know: #firefox just fucked its addons because they allowed the extention signing cert to expire. This is technically possible to mitigate by disabling the signature check, but thats probably not worth the risk and effort given how quickly they are probably gonna fix the issue.

hey can someone sanity check me and tell me if putting an encrypted private key, along with a script that uses said private key to upload to a server, in your repository is as bad of an idea as I feel it is?

What does the FSF think they are fighting for? like, the freedoms they talk about are rarely actually the ones that matter in practice, and the quality of the software that comes out of the gnu project ranges so widely from "you cant avoid using it" (tar, awk, grep, bash) to "why" (g*mp, nano, gnutrition(??)) to "active hinderance to the future of software" (mainly gnupg, god pgp is a blight) (also the gtk but like i dont think the gnu project manages gnome directly anymore) like god I would say rework your priorities and cut the cruft, but lets be real the cruft is most of it! they have *383* projects listed under the gnu project website! and what has the fsf even done for the community they support for the past few years? be freaks and bring back stallman onto the team??? We have moved beyond the need for the FSF, we have moved beyond the need for GNU,
