@ink_slinger What's so bad about the aesthetics of a cyberpunk dystopia? ;)

It's already embarrassingly amateurish of Windows to require reboots to apply updates in general, but this is an entire additional level of ridiculous.

@fribbledom If outright library software like https://evergreen-ils.org/ is too heavy/overcomplicated for your use case, perhaps http://tellico-project.org/ ?

@pho4cexa @aral @conservancy In a vacuum, that's a valid theoretical concern.But for this particular instance, I mean really any organization or conference with Bradley Kuhn in a prominent role, I'm not exactly going to be too worried about pro-AGPL talks or the like being tossed aside ;)

@kaniini Rich text formatting would be a *huge* feature advantage for The Fediverse over Twitter or even Facebook, too.

@Canageek@gamehawkHonestly both the U.S. and Canada could benefit from having more minority governments (although obviously that isn't immediately possible in the U.S., but we have a chance for one in the next election in Canada later this year).There's this meme about minority governments not getting things done, but coalition Canadian federal governments have done for example: * Universal healthcare * Pension * The Canadian flag!

@gamehawk@CanageekHah, fair point, but you just have a government that can't quite make a majority—which is different than if you had more than two parties, and coalitions of them could form, dissolve, etc (and couldn't all just be held up by the intransigence of a single man).

@gamehawk@CanageekThat's a reasonable concern, although in such circumstances the Prime Minister's Office actually often has, if anything, *more* power than the U.S. Executive Branch, due to the lack of a "checks and balances" meme in Canadian political structure and norms.

@staticsafe Yeah there's definitely some UX concerns, but I figure the bigger concern is that Bandcamp fundamentally isn't a streaming service in the sense we normally mean it these days (ie. subscription-for-full-catalog).

@staticsafe They *don't* necessarily want people just streaming random tracks from random different albums; they want people to be buying albums. And currently the way they do that is by an escalating cutoff, where they start nagging a bit then eventually force a purchase. (In fact, drunkenly listening to my own music the other night I was forced to pay myself to stream it, hah!)

@nightpool @staticsafe Hmm, that's an interesting riff on it, although that still causes complications for how Bandcamp handles the listeners. But yeah in a general sense I don't disagree with you at all---it'd be great if Bandcamp supported playlists, and I'd definitely use such a feature! But I also understand why they haven't implemented it yet, since it's kindof a can of worms for them with how they currently try to politely steer people towards purchases.

Gmail's ability to use "username+whateverthehell@gmail.com" addresses is nice for tracking where your email address goes after you give it to some sketchy provider. For instance, I'm getting spam emails from Hotels.com these days and it's apparently due to Ticketmaster.

@aral The downside of them changing policy and adopting the Gnome style guidelines and the guideline especially to not change applications' icons.I'll try not to be too smug as a KDE guy ;)

@1iceloops123 @kaniini @xrevan86 There's a larger debate to be had there (I don't think it's so black and white, personally), but the practical reality is that Gab has had its apps removed from mobile app stores before, and repeatedly and consistently enough that they've given up trying to publish them. Any Fediverse app devs that don't end up blocking Gab's instance(s) seem quite at risk of being removed too.

@mangeurdenuage @xrevan86I hate to be the one to break it to y'all, but app stores, as it turns out, don't actually follow consistent and airtight rules, neither practically nor philosophically.

@ink_slinger Even better experience on fediverse.keithzg.ca ;) Since I'm the only user, the Federated timeline is largely just people I follow with replies in threads those people are in (or retooted) also sprinkled in.

@ink_slinger Actually, in all seriousness, about half of the Federated timeline on my Pleroma instance seems to be content I don't see an obvious connection to, so I'm not entirely sure why it's being federated to there (my lack of understanding what's actually going on with such federation being perhaps a worrying sign considering I'm running a fediverse instance, haha)
