@xgranade Essentially, relying on corporations to 1) buy in to the ideology, and 2) create the financial support is just like... trickle down economics. It doesn't really exist, or when it does there's not enough seats for people to participate. And the majority contributions aren't reflective of the community's needs.
I think we all understand on some level that this is a path of failure disguised as success, but it feels like we all can't come to a consensus on a real solution :/

no dear tech giants, an alternative to "yes" isn't "later"
it's "no"
Question for plural folks, feedback needed 
@MindmeshLink Ah, right, I get what you mean now. I will keep that in mind, though I think that that technical distinction will be very difficult or impossible to make in the model I'm working with (hence why I would probably err on the side of total outward separation, rather than on the side of unintentional correlation).
Question for plural folks, feedback needed
@river Can you elaborate on what you mean with 'personalized notifications'?
Question for plural folks, feedback needed
@PsyChuan @lunarvale @WetDogSquad @river That would be one of the available options, yes; the 'presented identity' or 'speaker' option, in the current model.
I'm also considering some sort of 'associated account' model, where the account is outwardly separate but sign-ins can be associated/chained. That may serve dual purpose for eg. managing bot accounts.
Question for plural folks, feedback
@ink As there would be a distinction between the protocol level and the clients implementing it, I'm thinking of approaching that like so:
The protocol level allows including the 'speaker' with each message. The client is responsible for sending along that tag, and exposing a sensible mechanism (like 'sessions') to let the user control it.
If no tag is specified, the speaker will be the default/fallback identity for the account, which in a plural setup would be eg. an account representing the system/collective/etc. as a whole.
Would that be sufficient?
Question for plural folks, feedback needed
@MindmeshLink In the model I am thinking of, that would require the use of multiple accounts (with implementations being expected to support this out of the box); as different alts would otherwise still use the same technical identifier under the hood, and so it would be possible to correlate that together. I don't think that can be (reliably) avoided without separate accounts.
Would that work? Assuming that account creation is not limited (ie. no "unique phone number per account required" stuff or anything like that).
Question for plural folks, feedback needed
Assume a chat system that allows you to have multiple accounts, and which also allows you to select a 'presented identity' on a per-message basis (under an otherwise shared account that is identifiable as such).
Does this meet your needs, and if not, what other accommodations are needed to make it a comfortable experience for you?
(Please only answer if you consider yourself plural or have some other reason for presenting as multiple identities. Boosts are welcome from anyone!)
Okay, it looks like today is gonna be a "cut myself off from everything and conserve spoons" kind of day

Incredible shenanigans. Since January 1st 2024, the Netherlands has a new sugar tax, an extra tax on sugary drinks like soft drinks, lemonades and processed fruit juices. Of course the dairy industry have managed to secure an exception: products containing dairy are exempt from this sugar tax. However, plant-based dairy alternatives like oat milk DO fall under this tax. And to add insult to injury for vegans, now fruit juice and soft drink manufactures have started adding dairy to their drinks in order to wiggle out from under the tax too! So not only do vegans now see the prices of plant-based dairy alternatives rise, they also see increasing swathes of non-alcoholic drinks yanked from their palet because of added cow milk to evade taxation... Yay capitalism!
@Ember Ah, I'm not familiar with their history. The issue is certainly genuine, though (I've run into the same thing myself, even)

Good morning, fuck economic growth in general and the myth of "green growth" in particular

An excellent video about Microsoft's shady business practices around Minecraft, the forced account migration, and how it has resulted in people losing access to a game that they paid for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUFDRAEducI

It’s compost awareness week, so of course, we’re celebrating community composting!
Transition Lymington collects kitchen waste from nearby homes, and it makes their community garden self-sufficient in compost for all the lovely local, no dig, peat free, nature friendly growing they do.
Coexist set up Bristol Living Soil community composting project with a Transition Together seed funding grant last year. “Biologically complete, deliciously fertile soil can only be made at a small, local scale with time, care, energy and attention.”
Here’s how they do it, another project to celebrate in #compostawarenessweek!

Does anyone know how various rust gui frameworks compare, especially when it comes to mobile support
@sofia@chaos.social Oddly on point, given a Dutch saying about a nearby city ("hoe dichter bij Dordt, hoe rotter het wordt")
