@echedellelr I'm only using Element-derived things as a stopgap measure until I find a better option, for much the same reason - in fact, on some of the Element rewrites, I warned them of the outcome ahead of time, they dismissed the warning, and guess how it worked out...
I don't think either Signal or SimpleX are really the same kind of thing as Matrix, so I don't think they can serve as a plausible replacement for me. I've just been working (with others) on a protocol fork for a while now, to cut Element out of the picture entirely and establish some reasonable governance process.
But, that takes time to get to a usable result...
Yeah okay I guess I'm done with talking on Matrix for today, if the server can't manage to process my messages in less than 10 minutes
@rune Especially the late-night greasy junk food ones!

Honestly why doesn't all restaurants have bondage rope and heavy duty batteries as an addon with your food

Browsing the Danish food ordering app Just Eat and there's a "self care" shop that you can have bondage rope and fluffy handcuffs delivered from every day 9 am to midnight

There is not a lot of software that is so bad that it makes me viscerally angry but Synapse fucking manages it

food (vegan)
These vegan spinach-cheese schnitzels are so good that I just siphoned one off from cooking dinner for someone else, just to have one as a snack

What's that one TV show where, if you find out someone hasn't seen it, you get all excited and tell them they HAVE to check it out?

@domo Re: being a member of both, I'm actually not sure! If there would be a problem with it, I would expect it to be on the side of the 'formal' union though, as they tend to operate within specific legal frameworks, so probably best to check with FNV.
As for tech unions, the closest I know of would be https://techwerkers.nl/en/, but I think they are probably a bit less radical than eg. Horeca United is. Haven't run across any overtly radical ones yet 😕
@domo An addition to this is that while there are designated unions per sector, there are also various independent grassroots/radical unions that you can join, such as Horeca United - they are generally anarchist (or similar) in nature, and particularly tend to exist in sectors that are poorly represented by the designated unions (such as, well, horeca).
Due to their (semi-)unrecognized status they do work differently from designated unions, and sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes that's a bad thing, so those differences are a good thing to look into.

@1 It's known widely among scouting groups in NL but I imagine that this query was more intended for those not in NL 🙂
meta about the libgen LLM thing
I guess I'm going to be learning things about a lot of people soon, by looking at whether they focus their anger on the "libgen existing" part or the "LLM companies using it for profit" part
@feld And if you want a specific example: the work on Certificate Transparency predates even Litecoin, let alone any serious attempts at generalizing blockchains in a broader sense. And CT is not just an immutable ledger, it's a *distributed* immutable ledger (just not a trustless one).
@feld ... no, they are not. We had 'immutable ledgers' decades before we had blockchains, because they are a comparatively trivial technology.
Blockchains, as originally introduced with Bitcoin, were built entirely out of prior work; the only novelty was the particular combination of existing techniques to (try and) achieve that previously-unachieved property of "trustless consensus".
I am well aware that a good part of the tech industry has tried to retroactively redefine "blockchain" to play into the hype without having to actually do anything new, but accepting and adopting those terms is not going to help you to have any sort of actually-useful conversation about blockchains.
Like I said, Minespider have abandoned everything that could let one plausibly call it a 'blockchain'. It isn't one. They, like everyone else with an ounce of sense, eventually realized that blockchains are a terrible fucking idea for this (as described in the original post) and quietly 'pivoted' to something else that's much older and much more established.
