I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.

clacke,

@Quinnypig <pikachu_surprised_face.png> Of course they are.

Jordan Klepper interviews Jonathan Haidt about how to give children a childhood and create anti-fragile children:

clacke,

@hypolite I don't agree with everything and find a few things reactionary and uninformed, but I do agree with several things, possibly because I'm interpreting them through my own biases ... maybe he's more reactionary than I take him for:

  1. Many parents are overprotective and don't allow their kids to make mistakes.

I have allowed my kid to take physical risk, and to brush it off if there's been no serious harm. At the same time I've been clear what risks are not acceptable, and why, and been compassionate and present when he has been hurt due to his own actions or those of others.

  1. We should be very careful and deliberate about how we allow kids to use social media.

My kid has had internet devices early on, but we have recurring discussions about what he's watching, we watch many things together, and I've been careful with how much of his own words and voice he has been allowed to expose, and explained why, and he has gradually negotiated getting more of himself out there in a safe enough way.

  1. No phones during the school day.

Yes, why, just why. Kid's school just doesn't allow it. There's enough time to play at home.

  1. Online friends cannot replace face to face interactions.

Haidt and I probably mean this to very different degrees, but this is why I want to travel and meet more fedi people. And I'm glad that kid hangs with both entirely-internet friends but also classmates and former classmates when he's online, and we parents arrange for them to meet and do things in person outside school.

clacke,

@hypolite Whats the most glaring falsehood that made you turn it off?

Nothing awakens the semantics nazi in me like another semantics nazi calling themself a grammar nazi.

clacke,

@thor Turn off notifications when you're resting. 😃

People say people on Fedi only talk about Fedi. I don't think that's entirely fair.

But it's not entirely unfair. If you search for phanpy on the web, it's a pokemon. If you search for it on fedi, it's a fedi client. 😅

I was going to ask Evan if he could find the current URL for the very first identi.ca post, but turns out he already did that for the anniversary post a year ago. =)

Cert on identi.ca is currently failing.

clacke,

This is my first post.

clacke,

Posted by Evan for #fedi15 (last year):

web.archive.org/web/2/identi.c… @evan

Fifteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.web.archive.org/web/2008061816…

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that.

identi.ca/evan/note/Y0QwGyc1QY…

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

Someday soon-ish I'd like to have identi.ca working with ActivityPub. When I get the time for it!

On Saturday, the Fediverse is celebrating it's 16th anniversary!

How are you celebrating?

clacke,

Tonight when I should have been sleeping or writing some stuff for work, I accidentally took a walk down fedi memory lane. Someone posted on their profile which accounts they had when, and I was inspired and made yet another attempt to locate some fragments of posts on servers long gone.

This time I was successful!

clacke,

A brief timeline Fedi and my life on it:

2008-05-18 @evan fires up identi.ca, the beginning of it all:

web.archive.org/web/2008061816…

This is my first post.

2008-10-14 I joined identi.ca. I don't know what my first post was.

web.archive.org/web/2008121206…

clacke,

2011-11-29 I joined parlementum.net. What's the point of being on a federated network if you're on the same server as everyone else?

web.archive.org/web/2013030121…

Parlementum was run by encyclomundi, who after a while would come down with life-threatening illness and disappeared off the net for several years. When he resurfaced we said hello on Twitter, but I never met him in person before he left this world for good.

This loss was the point at which I decided I should travel to meet more fedis, so if you meet me in Portland, OR in August this year, it will be partly because Charles "encyclomundi" Roth, his generosity and his kindness made such a deep impression on me.

🥰 GNU encyclomundi 🥰

web.archive.org/web/2011082708…

clacke,

As parlementum was being wound down and encyclomundi withdrawing from online life in 2013, I took temporary refuge at unlimited.status.net, one of many general-purpose *.status.net servers Evan's company StatusNet was running, experimenting with different maximum post length. They had names like 280, 560 and ... unlimited.

This was during the #pumpocalypse. identi.ca was already running pump.io at this point, but *.status.net were still on StatusNet and OStatus. I was already on the pumpiverse with an account on microca.st, but wanted to stay on the OStatusverse as well. It was not yet clear what that verse would look like without its flagship.

web.archive.org/web/2013050608…

We can see one of the last parlementum posts reposted here:

FINAL WARNING! !parlementum SN site & hyacinth server are shutting down during the day of 15 April PDT.
about 22 days ago from parlementum.net at Wheel Estates Mobile Home Park, Washington, United States Repeat of encyclomundi

clacke,

It was becoming clear that Qvitter was the future of the Fediverse. It was being called the Fediverse now, at least by some people, since around May 2012 if I remember our fedi archaeology accurately.

GNU Social / StatusNet was looking old-fashioned and Qvitter was the new and cool web application that looked like Twitter 2013 instead of Twitter 2008. Unfortunately it also broke the Wayback Machine, so today I'm grateful to the sites that retained the old-school UI as their default.

Early on quitter.se seems to have kept old-school the default, so we can see my profile page and that I joined on 2013-07-21.

web.archive.org/web/2013072317…

clacke,

2016 was a tumultuous year. A Twitter exodus led to @sun and others first joining quitter.se and other Qvitter sites, then setting up their own servers where they didn't have to follow quitter.se rules. quitter.se admin Hannes helped them with this, you can read more about it in Robek's web.archive.org/web/2022110718… . This changed Fediverse social dynamics forever.

A few months later @Gargron launched Mastodon and mastodon.social. This changed Fediverse social dynamics forever. Again.

2016-10-11 I joined mastodon.social to try it out, but quitter.se was still my main.

clacke,

@sun Yeah, every subsequent Twitter wave has basically had culture shock with the wave before it. 😄

clacke,

Bwaaaahahaha this classic exchange.

web.archive.org/web/2017021919…

@lambadalambda What's going on on your instance?

You think I'm going to ban / moderate someone because one user on mastodon.social had to read a DISSERTATION on ancap politics?

clacke, to random

Hahaaa! I found a still running old school GNU Social that has a shadow profile of my old #quitter.se account!

chirp.cooleysekula.net/user/43…

Thank you for hanging in there, Professor Steve. 🥰

clacke,

Ah no, my heldscalla account. Maybe my quitter.se would also be in there somewhere.

A 10 000 mAh powerbank fully charged contains 2 nanograms of electric potential.

e = mc²

10 Ah * 5 V = 50 Wh
50 Wh * 3600 s/h = 180 000 J

180 000 J / (300 000 000 m/s)² = 2*10⁻¹² kg

clacke,

10 Ah * 5 V = 50 Wh

Is that how the mAh rating on powerbanks works, or is the A meant to be at the internal voltage like 7.2 V or something?

Why do they even use Ah? Use Wh instead and avoid this confusion.

(the world is not ready for powerbanks rated in J)
