@shironeko oh, yikes!As a former BES administrator, I hate Blackberries.I'll never forget how RIM was shipping vulnerable versions of MSDE, years after Slammer! I couldn't even begin to imagine the nightmare for Obama's IT team when be became POTUS.EvilBill showed me one of the last Blackberries which seemed sorta neat, could also run Android apps or something. Albeit I think he maybe had to dogfood it since he worked at Wind River/Intel (though I guess now Wind River was spun out into Aptiv?) and there were various QNX VxWorks migration interrelationships or something? I dunno.I do actually prefer pocket devices with physical hardware keyboards, but the last one I had which seemed decent for consumers was the Sidekick 4G. The Precursor OTOH, is a fascinating thing in a very different realm.I still want to watch the BlackBerry movie with ProZD. I saw posters for it, but never saw any theatrical screenings near me (not even in the theaters which had posters for it) and it looked weird when I researched BluRays online like maybe they were shady bootlegs or something.

@OH3CUF Yeah, LibreWolf needs to jettison associations with Homebrew too.Homebrew enables Google analytics by default. Sending telemetry without even warning users to opt out, was a bad look, even before Google was convicted as a monopoly.I've mentioned the same thing to LadyBird devs on the FUTO funding YouTube videos.My comments, get removed. Not sure if that is due to FUTO being shady a.f. or YouTube being under the convicted monopoly umbrella, but it doesn't leave me with any warm fuzzy feelings aside from affirming that it appears as if the powers that be, are continuing to abuse theirs.Anyway, you've been warned.Maybe someone will do something about it?I've looked into creating MacPorts Portfiles for both LadyBird and LibreWolf, but couldn't get either project to build from source, which is kind of a prerequisite to making such things easier for others.Both projects are severely lacking when it comes to useful documentation for developers and package and port maintainers.I'm not exactly "new here" either, I'm probably one of the only people aside from jkh or Kip Macy who ever bothered to build NeXTBSD (basically FreeBSD with launchd, before TrueOS went for OpenRC) from source. Which, also basically had no documentation. At least in that instance it was very similar to FreeBSD, which has a rational build process with which I was already so familiar with I could basically do it without current build instructions.@librewolf

@NGIZero I wonder if @grunfink maybe should apply for the Fediversity grant? snac fits all the criteria (I think? There's already a nixpkg for snac, though I don't know much about that since I focus on maintaining the MacPort.)

@shironeko I can't claim to have built a Faraday cage, but I remember when I looked into such things decades ago there was even wallpaper designed with such applications in mind.

@grunfink I submitted a PR to update MacPorts' snac to 2.59 here:https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/25774Passed the GitHub Actions CI checks.As usual, I don't have commit access so it's up to someone else to merge it.Thank you for your continued improvements and bug fixes! I see even since the 2.59 release there's already been changes to the repo.Also, while I am not the biggest VNV Nation fan, I have seen them perform live at least once, groovy to see some resonance in audio inspiration too! ^_^#snac #MacPorts #OpenSource #ActivityPub #Mastodon #NoDatabaseNeeded #NoJavaScript #NoCookiesEither #NotMuchBullShit #snacAnnounces

@simplenomad If only the start ups like Duo et al, would focus on just making good products, instead of selling out to bigger corporations and cashing out.I can't even begin to imagine how much better the world would be.

@simplenomad I don't understand it.Twitter/Birdsite/X/whatevertheheck if someone blocked you (unless they were private) you could always just log out and view their timeline anyway.Which is to say: they never had implemented anything as remedial as message privacy in the first place; only the illusion of such things.If fElon Musk thinks that unwinding that broken "feature" is moving the sunken ship forward, I guess it's just more evidence that no one should ever trust billionaires to have a clue about anything. But hey, he paid for the piece of it.sh he can do whatever he wants to it I guess?

@jcs Apple gets way too much unmerited love and always has, especially the Macintosh.The Commodore Amiga epoch begins in the 1970s, which IIRC is when TripOS (Amiga Workbench's predecessor) began. It also avoided Y2K and y2k38 issues though there are some 22nd century issues for those who are using Amigas in the next century will need to mitigate eventually.

@foone at least that is consistent with the user experience in 1995? ;)

@aeva I dig how @grunfink's snac (https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2) displays threads as far as other ActivityPub implementations go.

@grunfink I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.60 here:https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26129All GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed OK.I still am not in a place in my life where commit access is a responsibility I am willing to take on, so it is up to someone else to merge it.Neat to see the improvements to Mastodon migration in this release! Maybe that will help facilitate more users?Thank you, as usual! Also, nice to see a code push on a Thursday (in UTC at least?) not a Friday! ^_^#snac #MacPorts #OpenSource #ActivityPub #Mastodon #NoDatabaseNeeded #NoJavaScript #NoCookiesEither #NotMuchBullShit #snacAnnounces

@grunfink I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.62 here:https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26495Currently the GitHub Continuous Integration checks are queued, so I don't know when that will complete or what the results will be, but hopefully it's just a delay in the process and doesn't reveal any errors.Thank you for your continued improvements!#snac #MacPorts #OpenSource #ActivityPub #Mastodon #NoDatabaseNeeded #NoJavaScript #NoCookiesEither #NotMuchBullShit #snacAnnounces

@shironeko The web site loads for me?Well, intermittently. I also hit a 500 error.Are there multiple http daemons behind a buggy load balancer maybe?

Honestly, I couldn't care less if some politicians aren't on the FediVerse."Oh, you used to lead a country? That's cute."Y'know, the person who wrote the protocol which begat the world's largest computer network until the mid 1990s is on here.The person who wrote the reference DNS server is on here too!Last I checked DNS is queried around a billion times an hour by more or less every computer on the Internet.That isn't all those people did either.But it would get like, kind of crazy to name all their individual technical achievements without name dropping them.As it is, if you know, you know.Their follower counts?Let's just say the individual who was employee #2 at Phoenix, that company that reverse engineered the IBMPC BIOS which facilitated "clone" PCs (IIRC Hewlett Packard came to them with some hardware that they blessed with their ЯƎ-ed BIOS as just one example) has fewer than 1000 followers.That individual who also helped implement DHCP? So you don't need to sit there tweaking your IP and netmask and gateway and DNS settings every time you change networks? 1.3K followers.If you know, you know.If you care about politicians being on here?Let me know when ANY politician has ever contributed to anything as widespread as those two who are already here, and presumably will continue to keep toiling in the shadows, doing neat things, releasing code in free and open source manners as they have done, for decades.No lobbyists needed.No billionaires bribing anyone for votes.I don't think the FediVerse's priorities are off.I think everyone who is so ignorant of who really co-creates technology claiming that the FediVerse/Mastodon should be more like Twitter/BlueSky/whatever the heck is just showing that they have a lot to learn?We all do!Good thing ignorance can be conquered!:)
