Not to mention the fact that, Google being Google, this is going to be shitcanned in a couple of years, anyway.

Dog-fooding, but instead of food, it’s a dog eating its own vomit.

These people don’t get it, do they?

Oh, they get it, alright. They’re making more money than God, which is entirely the goal.

I, too, live in this fabled real world, and I already mentioned I understand your issue. I just think you’re barking up the wrong tree, but luckily you’re able to work around things, and that’s the most important bit, isn’t it?

To be honest, stuff not working when it breaks the standard is unfortunate, but I wouldn’t blame this on the tool that adheres to said standard.

You’re not inconvenienced by systemd-resolvd, you’re inconvenienced by those mail sites doing stuff that doesn’t work, possibly as a result of them needing to do something that was slightly flawed to begin with: using DNS records to possibly hold more data than they can per the spec, which, if I understand things correctly, is because of the limitations of UDP traffic.

Not that that helps you, of course, it’s annoying and I recognise that.

Edit: I thought Revolt wasn’t open source, not sure what I had it mixed up with.

Well, that’s Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly “still there”.

No more.

Running the stuff on someone else’s computer still requires a dedicated team for “something serious”, unless you stuff everything in specific “serverless” platforms, in which case you’re still paying for admins, just not yours.

I don’t think “they should”, but if you’re willing / able to at least make a decent description of what it would entail, how it would work, and how it would benefit users, and possibly contribute in some other way, it might happen!

(It’ll take more than a sentence and a half from the sidelines, I think)

Exactly! As far as I’m concerned, robots.txt should be enough: I tell your bot to stay the hell away, or not, and your bot obeys. What it scrapes for doesn’t matter, IMO.

We don’t need more standards and rules for assholes to ignore, we need assholes to adhere to the rules.

And then there’s Discourse as well, to make it even more confusing. 🤣

I’ve heard of that, yeah, but I’m still not convinced a web page and chat mix well. They’re different in pace. That might just be me, though. 😁

I don’t know about decentralized, nor am I convinced that it should be, you’re responding to something on one page, I don’t think “decentralized” adds value here.

If you really insist on that, there’s several people who tack a fediverse thread onto a post. Mastodon, is seen often, I personally added a GoToSocial thread fetcher to my blog, I assume Lemmy could work as well.

As for non-decentralized but open, there’s Comments as someone already mentioned, and I’m personally using Isso, which presents itself as a drop-in replacement for Disqus.

Matrix is a chat protocol, not a comment system. You might shoehorn it into that role, but it’s never going to fit well, IMO.

Neil doesn’t need a chatbot with sparkles for that, he’s plenty capable to take absolute piss himself. 😁

A fair amount of drama is exactly their fault. Mozilla chose to increase management pay and fire people, Mozilla chose to flirt with ai, Mozilla bought an ad firm, and so on. It’s not like someone was holding a knife to their throat.

In Dutch, we have the similar “zoals de award is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten” (roughly “the way the innkeeper is, is how he trusts his guests (to be)”).

I believe they’re absolutely not street legal in the UK, nor in the EU. Those were never “ridiculous sized trucks” Walhalla to begin with (although I see more Rams than I care to, these days), so there’s roughly zero chance those things will become mainstream here.

Heck, we have rain here, that’s enough of a wankpanzer repellant.

The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.
