Someone at work recently tried to draw me into a debate about whether or not a hotdog qualifies as a sandwich, and now my wife is trying to have the same argument.Is this something people feel passionately about?

@ashfurrow This is just about the most New York thing I’ve ever seen, speaking as someone who grew up Upstate

@sir I think PEPs 517 and 518 are aimed at replacing setuptools, for what it’s worth

@sir I'll happy give you a dollar to read them and explain the reasoning for whatever conclusion you arrive at :)

@jalcine I think I agree with you, and I'm not just saying that because the drama is hard to avoid right now. I think #IndieWeb might actually scale better than #ActivityPub over the long term.

@jalcine Or maybe they end up playing together, like #ActivityPub replaces #MicroPub or something, but that brings it back to your point about waiting.

Has anyone done any back-of-the-napkin calculation on what the server demands will be to run an #ActivityPub server if the number of folks participating increases by an order of magnitude? Can people even realistically self-host at that point? What's the upper bound on the number of m.s-sized instances someone's home server can federate with?

@padraic_padraic @ashfurrow It almost seems like there's an inflection point somewhere in the future where #ActivityPub only continues to work if the number of instances starts to grow linearly with the number of users. My impression is that isn't really happening now.

@ashfurrow @padraic_padraic @jonw Hosting Mastodon specifically on a Raspberry Pi? Or some other ActivityPub server? Either way I’m genuinely surprised to hear about that, but glad!

Wanted: A service to wrap #webmention support around a static website. Will ideally also support #backfeeds from various social media sites.Does this exist? Or did I just volunteer to write it?#IndieWeb

One thing I like about the DEV platform is that I can cross post items from my own blog, and they set “canonical-url” back to my own website. Works well with #IndieWeb!I’ll be looking into their API to see if it can support #backfeedhttps://dev.to/djmoch

@technomancy @HerraBRE Yeah, I think it's kind of unfortunate that projects have to make a choice between mirroring to Github (with all of the exposure that provides) and working the way they want to work. OTOH, I see the point about this being easy to automate. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to write a bot to forward a pull request to a mailing list as a patch.

@HerraBRE @technomancy I'm trying to interpret that move as generously as they can, and I think the counterargument would be that if they didn't clarify their usual development process to newcomers, then those newcomers might never find out. There's a lot of value to participating in mailing lists and they'd be missing out on if they just throw PR's over the fence.

@HerraBRE @technomancy Some of it is genuine too. :)I think Github could do a better job as well. Someone in your previous dialog mentioned that Github makes it nearly impossible to turn PR's off. I actually haven't found a way to do it at all. It'd be an easy feature that would send people to the README and save them the aggravation.

@jalcine @HerraBRE @technomancy Yeah, I've moved to self-hosting recently. I have a Github account, but now use it just to contribute to other projects.

@dgold @HerraBRE @jalcine @technomancy Agreed. It's weird to see a closed-source platform become the poster child of the opens source community.

#qutebrowser has the design I was always hoping for using Vim Vixen on Firefox. A truly modal input design. I'm enjoying it!

@byllgrim Sure, as much as any other browser. I disable JavaScript globally and re-enable it on a per-site basis.
