The nature and scope of the request.

Either Funko is lying or their “brand protection partner” is lying. Also, what the fuck does Funko have to protect? The only thing they actually created was those beady little eyes they put on everyone else’s IP.

Nah, I think this should tank them as a company. Once a scammer, always a scammer.

Because it is. Who wants to pay $120 a month on streaming services you barely use?

I didn’t say basic. I said bad. HTTP 1 is a good protocol. ActivityPub is not. Read both the specs if you don’t believe me. I have.

There’s not a single point in HTTP 1 that I thought, “what the fuck does that mean?” There are several in ActivityPub. ActivityPub also has several areas that are ambiguous. Ambiguity is bad in a specification.

ActivityPub tries to support everything, and has no defined behavior for when a client doesn’t support whatever thing it just received.

It also uses JSON-LD, which isn’t necessarily bad, but defeats the purpose of JSON by making it too complicated to easily write by hand.

This is not easy to write, read, or parse, or build:

{
  "@context": {
    "name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",
    "homepage": {
      "@id": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/workplaceHomepage",
      "@type": "@id"
    },
    "Person": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"
  },
  "@id": "https://me.example.com",
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Smith",
  "homepage": "https://www.example.com/"
}

Imho, ActivityPub is a bad protocol that tries to accomplish everything, and ends up being bad at all of it. The spec is also ambiguous in a lot of areas. And major implementations don’t always follow the spec. All in all, it’s a miracle the fediverse even works as well as it does.

That’s not who I wanted to see dead at 74.

This is amazing and I love it.

Ha! That’s awesome!

Ok, hear me out.

We find the users with the slowest internet and start sending them all the data. They don’t have to keep anything on disk. Then they send it all back and forth between each other. Any time a user makes a request, we just wait for one of the slow nodes to come across the data and send it out.

We use the slowest wires for all the storage. It’s fool proof.

Based on my experience with how destructive a robot vacuum can be, there is 0% chance I would let a Tesla developed robot exist in my house.

Meanwhile, Tesla is showing off pretend robots to serve drinks to Elon stans. Don’t look behind the curtain.

Because Republicans don’t want you to vote if you have the kind of job that you can’t just take whatever time you want off.

Their sales figures seem to show that the majority of people don’t care. For my needs when I’m using my MacBook, I’m one of those people who don’t care. That’s probably because it’s not my main PC, so I use it for the things most people probably use it for (browsing, watching media, some light work).

So, more bad products no one wants. Cool. Great.

Yeah, that’s fine. That would be a very manual process, whereas Port87 makes the process automatic. But, yeah, you get most of what Port87 offers that way, you just have to pay for it.

If you want a usable mail for all your accounts that is also spam resistant, may I recommend https://port87.com

Another reason to avoid kindle like the plague.

I feel personally attacked.

Oh man, fuck Bryan Lunduke. He aged like milk.
