The Anarkat @Anarkat@computerfairi.es

@heartles It's a fair criticism. It's used to pad time but at least they usually only do it once per episode, max.

@starwall I would like to help.

Unfortunately I'm too far away.

Back here for a bit while Hackers.town undergoes construction.

Fascist militias marching downtown. They want to think they own the place.

Wannabe cops can get the boot right along with the real ones.

@Kat I moved to @Anarkat@hackers.town

@inkorrupt I moved to @Anarkat@hackers.town

I'm moving to @Anarkat@hackers.town

All of my posts going forward will be on there.

@DeltaFlood the ISS falls towards the ground. The ISS moves laterally across the sky. The ISS continuously falls towards the ground but does not get any closer because the ground recedes away from the ISS because of curvature. Orbit velocity is where the space craft outruns the curvature of the Earth.

@starwall_e Sometimes I worry about these bots.

@TheGibson Usability: enable a single account to conveniently manage multiple posting identities.

Develop guides for introducing users to the fediverse. "Hitchhiker's guide to the fediverse" with things such as how to decide on an instance to join, and how to find communities to become a part of, and a basic outline of how federated communities work.

@TheGibson

Marketing: how to convince casual users that privacy is worth the inconvenience of switching to the fediverse. Streamline onboarding. Develop interface for importing user data from other platforms.

@TheGibson

Organization: Enable and encourage cooperative forms of instance management ie collective management and mutual investment into hardware and upkeep. - free services aren't. Enable perpetual services through user investment rather than private equity.

hardware: devise open source hardware solution packages that enable near plug-and-play instance operation.

@TheGibson

Software: make account creation simple and user accessible.

Make hosting a masto instance comprehensible, through guides or prepackaged portable programs.

Make user data portable between instances.

hardware: Enable and encourage users to host instances on smaller trusted hardware via tech collectives if they are unable or uncomfortable with hosting on their own hardware

@TheGibson I elect you general secretary of hackers.town

@TheGibson Yeah, man, and you've got a front row seat for this federated party bus.

@banjofox@hackers.town No, I thought that the t-shirt itself was elongating.

@banjofox@hackers.town I checked. The shirts are all the same size, the dimensions are just weird.

@banjofox@hackers.town Is that shirt longer? I swear it's getting longer.
