In short, who are you yelling at? Who do you expect to "fix" things for you? Right now people are coming down on the guy who is building the bridge to bluesky. That specific guy. They're yelling at him and telling him to make different decisions to protect their personal privacy. Is that what people think they signed up for with the fediverse? Fighting with other individual humans and trying to force them to do what you want?
If you’ve been following the Bridgy and Mastodon drama, consider that many Mastodon users don’t want a bridge that allows Bluesky to federate with Mastodon, but they do want Bluesky to support ActivityPub so Bluesky can… also federate with Mastodon. 😜
there's been almost twenty years of work on optimizing javascript engines with JIT and complex heuristic-based GC and a wealth of feature-rich profiling and analysis tools and validation and testing frameworks for deployment and integration and syntax improvements and functional and higher-order primitives and serverside transpiled code. and it's all enabled some amazing new stuff, for example github now takes 10 seconds to display a plain text file, and you cant search properly anymore
@kissane IME there’s a mismatch between Fediverse as a collection of standards and tech and Fediverse as culture and norms- the insistence that Threads implementing ActivityPub “isn’t fediverse” is culture-over-tech, or bridging being antithetical etc. it’s gonna keep rearing its head as the people who desire the scale/ergo of twitter etc try to use/extend fediverse tech to do so and clash with the people who are very happy with the current scale/reach and see it as a feature.

Another exciting evening in Chez Charlie as I connect a Pi, newly-equipped with a Waveshare POE hat, to a POE switch for the first time.
This setup will be extended to power a lot of smart devices in the new apartment.
When it’s finished.
Which will be sometime… in the future.
